What gun do you use for Home defense??

[Mike Irwin]

Varies, depending on what I've taken to the range recently.

Any of the following might be found in my nighstand:

Semi-auto

Kahr K9
Beretta 92
EAA Witness 10mm


Revolvers

S&W Model 19, 2.5" or 4"
S&W Model 58, .41 Mag.
S&W Model 1917, .45 ACP
S&W Model 042, .38 Spl.
S&W Model 28, .357.


More often that not it's likely to be a revolver in the drawer.

I'm not sure what's in there right now, but I think it's the Model 1917.


Oh yeah. The Smith & Wesson 3000 12-gauge riot gun is under the bed. It's stoked with 5 rounds of Remington No. 4 buckshot, with another 5 rounds of S&W 00 buck in the buttcuff.

 

[BerettaNut92]

HK P7 or USP45C depending which room I'm in.

 

[aug e. dog]

S&W Model 28

 

[jem375]

I rotate 3 handguns about every 2 weeks. A Ruger GP-100-4", S&W model 66-2 1/2", and a Llama 45 auto..........

 

[HS/LD]

Primary, a Winchester 1300 Defender full of 00 buckshot and a sidesaddle of slugs.

Backed up by an H&K USP Compact .40 full of 165 grain Golden Sabers.

HS/LD

 

[MLH]

The first one I can get my hands on!

 

[MJRW]

Ruger GP-100 with 2 speed loaders with 110 grain .38 special +p and one with FMJ .357 (colored differently). This gets me to the 870 in the safe.

 

[4Truck]

An Hk USP .40c or .45c for a pistol, and a Remington 870 marine with 8 rounds of 3" 00 buck, If those don't get me to the safe, I think I am in trouble...

 

[rick458]

Either a 5" Colt
a 5" Kimber or a
Commander All are loaded with 230gr Hydrashoks

 

[longeyes]

Colt Lawman with 158g Win LHPSWC or Glock 30 (w/night sights) with Cor-Bon Pow'RBall. Mossberg 500 with 00 in closet.

 

[Schuey2002]

A Glock 19.

I need to get another shotgun, such as a Remington 870, one of these days.

 

[Longbow]

S&W model 10 loaded w/ Win.Silver tips.

 

[Ala Dan]

Greeting's All,

I think most of us would agree, nothing beats a
12 gague Shotgun. With that said, I rely on a Remington
12 gague Marine Magnum; stoked with #4 buckshot.

As far as handguns go, I will take my chances with a
6" Smith & Wesson model 686-5 loaded with six rounds
of .38 Special +P JHP's; and a .45 caliber SIG-Sauer P220
loaded with Federal's 230 grain JHP Hydra-Shok's.

Best Wishes,
Ala Dan, N.R.A. Life Member

 

[ChristopherG]

Awful close to AlaDan.

If something's gonna happen and I have any inkling of it, I'm getting out the 870 12g w/#1 buck.

If I'm a little more surpised, the first thing to hand is a 686+ with seven 145 gr. .357 Silvertips.

If that were to run out or something, there's a Glock 17 full of a bunch of little 124 gr. Golddot +Ps.

Lord, I wouldn't want to break into any of these houses.

 

[HS/LD]

Lord, I wouldn't want to break into any of these houses.

At least not while anyone is home...

Hope they are all locked up when your not.

Regards,

HS/LD

 

[Rickstir]

Right now it's a 92FS, I could load up a SG or two. What I am going to buy in a few months is Thunder Five. First two rounds 6 shot, next two 00's, and if BG hasn't stopped No. 5 is a slug. I love the appeal of revolver sized shotgun

 

[AAChang]

I keep a Sig 228 with 124 grain Federal Hydrashoks for home defense. Now, Homeland Defense...... that's another story

 

[larryw]

As my wife never took to a shotgun, we rely on 45s: USP 45C (wife's gun) and several mags full of 185gr Speer Gold Dots are kept in a GunVault upstairs. USP 45Fs and 1911s and loaded mags are ready in the safe downstairs.

And I usually keep my CA Assault Rifle (1894 in 44Mag) loaded.

 

[COK]

.357 , 3 inch GP-100.

 

[Moondancer]

On the nightstand.
Kimber Compact CDP "cocked & locked" with seven Federal 230-grain Hydra-Shoks. One extra mag loaded with same.
Surefire 6P with the 120 lumen lamp. Checked every night prior to sleep for battery life.
In the living room.
Mossberg 590 A-1 (I think) 12 gauge with eight 2-3/4" number 7 shotshells in the tube.

Apartment living - must consider the sheetrock walls, but I'll only go down the power scale so far.

 

[John]

'Hope I'll never need to use anything, but just in case:

870 Police Magnum loaded with Federal #1 Buck.

But this is a handgun forum: Ruger .357 magnums (GP100 and SP101) are also at hand.

 

[schild]

Always out in the house(no kids, two dobes), P7M8, Sig P245, .32 Guardian. Sometimes the Benelli M1S90 stays out of the safe.

 

[Mastrogiacomo]

Beretta 92FS Compact Type M -- two! And if necessay, I'll fire away Hong Kong style with them...

 

[Hazwaste]

.

I wear a Kel-Tec P11 when awake. I keep a WASR-10 hicap w/ 2x 30 round mags next to the bed, and a Mossberg 20 gauge w/ 6 rounds of #3 buckshot nearby. Wife keeps Taurus 650 .357 on her side. Son keeps his Henry lever-action .22 loaded w/ 18 hollow points near his bed for 2nd floor intruders.

Looney...ain't we?!

 

[DonGlock26]

G-26 or G-23 with heavy Golddots next to c-cell Maglight.
