The way I see it, there are a few very different home defense pistol philosophies. Personally, I do think a carbine is ideal, when you can get to it. However, for me, a handgun is my primary home defense gun in that it is the one I'm likely to get to first (on me much of the time, next to my bed when I'm asleep). Even just concentrating on handguns, like I started, I see there as being several different mindsets around the handgun for home defense, and I'm curious where THR stands.
Here are the main options as I see them (I'll try to be quick, but if you've read my threads before...):
On the other hand, this gun is easy to keep on hand as you can just keep your carry gun in its holster until you retire for the night. Always on hand is better than put away in a quick access safe or a drawer nearby if someone invades your home. You also don't need to worry about needing to grab something if you decide to take an unplanned trip out.
