Choice: Customized Ruger Mini-14 with shortened wood stock, light and can.
Reality: 10.75" 5.56 AR pistol with red dot, light and can. What's your pick and why? |

I'm confused as to why you don't just make your choice reality?
Oh, and a Shockwave, no shirt, and obscene gestures for me...... |

AR15.
For all the reasons why LE and Mil use the AR15/M16 platform and not a freaking mini-14 |

12 gauge with custom hand loads that consist of #4 shot and dragons breath shot material this way when I shoot intruders not only does it neutralize them it cauterizes the wound making cleanup minimal.

AR pistol for you. Mini too heavy even with
short wood stock. For me Glock 21 with a light or laser. Easy to move around in the dark can use one hand. |

I might consider a mini-14 or fightlite SCR with a wood stock. But in 99% of the US I will be rocking a SBR, with light, laser, red dot, BUIS, suppressor, 30rd mag, and MK318 or similar barrier blind ammo. |

If you are basing your weapons choices on what a jury might say, you are doing it wrong.

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Pistol grip also lets you hold the weapon one-handed more easily (to use the phone, open a door, etc.) Fudd rifles are better in front of a jury. Lethal force = lethal force. Legit HD shootings shouldn't end up in front of a jury. |

Brown Bess
.75 caliber ball at 1810 fps smoke and a 17" sharp tapered triangular piece of steel on the end Just like the founders intended, until that too is taken by Mini Mike funded candidates |

If a jury is your primary concern for a HD gun, you should be looking at pump shotguns.

I hope that's the AT4-CS variant!

Glock 19. I like having a free hand to move kids, open doors, use light switches, etc.

Just run around the house racking a shotgun. I mean that's what I've always been told.

Choice?
MP-5SD with a scout light Reality? 1911 .45 with a SureFire x300 |

VP9 on the nightstand and a suppressed 300 BO pistol or SBR within arms reach.
Plus two pit mixes that would lick somebody to death |

So you want your hd gun to be a mini14? View Quote You know the whole "6 foot wide pattern of death" urban legend about shotguns? With the Mini-14, it's reality. |

I learned something about myself the other day.
I work from home and heard a loud bang in the garage. I went to my safe and instinctively grabbed my Glock 19 and went to investigate. Turns out the laundry basket had vibrated off the dryer and fell on the floor. But the fact that I went for my Glock rather than an AR or AK was interesting. Made me wonder what I would do in the middle of the night. Not sure if I was being lazy and grabbed the easiest gun I could because I knew it probably wasn’t anything or if that is what I’m most comfortable with. |

Ar-15 by the front door, coyotes get a little vociferous at times, 870P by the couch, and another AR-15 next to the bed.
Why? because I can. |

In my own home, a good pistol and light will do everything that needs doing. I am the master of my domain. No one knows it better.

View Quote My battleplan is to charge out the bedroom with my 300blk AR pistol, light on but at the low ready so as I close distance with the enemy he can see me, butt naked, uplit in all my glory, with my tiny little ding dong flopping around like a baby carrot hanging from a string. Distract, close distance, engage. |

A serious answer? Simple.
Everybody wants to study the ballistics of SBR's, pistols, shotguns, calibers, slugs, buckshot, ordinance, etc. In YOUR house do you really think moving a stocked rifle with a can to be your best choice? Do you have any 50 yd hallways? What weapon will give you the best chance of multiple hits on multiple targets at close range? Keep it simple. A pistol and a light. Choose something small with decent capacity that you can stick around a corner and still come up with a good hit. Keep it simple. Like all things in life, you're buying time. No tactical bullshit, you're just buying time. |
