What is the best self defense ammo for my ak pistol?

[kwikrnu]

I don't think my smith and wesson .38 special j frame is going to cut it for self defense anymore. So I'm going to start carrying my AK-47 pistol and an extra magazine or three. What is considered the best self defense ammo for this semi-automatic handgun?

 

[rcmodel]

Well, you can call it a handgun if you want too.
But it isn't.

As for using 7.62x39 for a SD weapon?

I would only use expanding hollow-point varmint loads.
And pray over-penetration didn't kill someones grandma or baby four blocks down the street!

extra mag or three

Wait, this is a joke post, right?

It is a handgun and classified as such in I think all States and the BATF.

I'm limited to 7.62x39 because that is all it will shoot.

Gotta agree with rcmodel here... using a 7.62 pistol as an urban defense weapon is absurd.

It is way to powerful and if you ever have to use it you run the risk of killing someone other than the intended target.

Due to the barrel length is may very well be considered a class 3 SBR pistol according to the NFA but it is not a pistol in any practical sense of the term.

My advice is get a shotgun.

Is it me, or does that "AK pistol" pictured have an orange tip, ROFL, I think the OP is trying to act like he is serious in a very weak attempt at starting a troll thread. Were you planning on your "mag or three" being 30 rounders or 40, I think 3 75 round drums would maximize your capacity.

DRACO owners unite!!!!!!!!!

This is a joke, right?

Real defensive pistols are belt-fed.

What is a class 3 short barreled rifle pistol? I've never heard of that.

The 75 drums are too wide and the 40 rounders are too long. The 30 round magazines work best I think.

I painted the muzzle nut/thread protector "blaze orange" because I have safety in mind. It means no one can and will shoot at me.

Troll alert.

Ya thinks?

I don't think there's a such thing as a "SBR pistol" (Short Barrelled Rifle pistol)

 

[DHaught]

You better get a good IWB holster for that thing and make sure you don't print. You don't want to get "made".

I would also put a crimson trace grip and some night sights on it. Maybe a Hogue grip sock, or just some electrical tape on the grip.

 

[kwikrnu]

In my State we open carry, so I think a two point sling will work good.

 

[Carne Frio]

I prefer the 20 round Hungarian magazines for my AK pistol.
Federal makes a 125 gr spire point that works fine. Brownbear
also has hollowpoints.

 

[NG VI]

Yeah a sling would cover your holster needs just fine, as would duct taping it to your second trauma plate. Or is that spot reserved for taping a third trauma plate on?

The pistol part is a joke... like this thread.

It sounded more like you had no idea what you were talking about. This thread is no joke. As soon as I get my sling mounted I'll have a pic or two of me open carrying the firearm around town.

 

[sarduy]

forget about the ak-pistol go with this

you will become the target!

Even the haircut is a deadly weapon. I would mount ma deuce to that chrysler in the background.


Also, its an AK, i would stick with standard ball ammo.

 

[kwikrnu]

Open carry deters crime. No regular joe citizen open carrying a gun has been attacked for his gun that I have ever read about.

 

[Vonderek]

Since it's replacing your J-frame, make sure you buy pants a size bigger. Finding a pocket holster will be a challenge though....

 

[rellascout]

Good luck with that...your an idiot.

 

[Darthbauer]

Look at the OP location. He might actually open carry an AK pistol with some of the people I have seen come out of that area.

 

[highorder]

Be sure it doesn't cover your CCW badge, or tear your tin foil hat.

Also, the painted tip?... for sake of a punchline, explain how its for safety?
