I bet that was fun!

Say hello to my new KV SHD Tactical!

Noice Reaps!

Hello!

I can't wait to shoot it but right now it's just a bit too cold outside. Maybe I'll set up a range in the garage.



The season of our Grass Mask Masters has come!

This is what I want for Christmas!

Do
It

Can't. At least not without getting interrogated on why I need it and why I don't get rid of another gun before getting this one. Not to mention paying the application fee while risking an almost definite denial regarding getting the license

Aww ok then

My Dad wants the same thing only in .357 Magnum.

That's what that is too

Wish I could go for it but then again; a bit pricey and too risky.

Just a question for you guys who can actually get either. What you think is the better choice for home defense; an autoloading pistol or a revolver?


Best thing I can get if we're talking non-lethal is a .68 T4E revolver. Maybe I should get that, if I can trade it for the other marker I got which frankly is too big and bulky. Also, if I get the .50 revolver instead I can get a holster for it. Both incidentally have pepperballs availabe as well as glassballs which sounds good to me.

I think in March I'm getting this.

And I might go for that levergun in 357/38 if by some strange luck they eased up on the rules. Which not gonna happen.

The thing about home defense is that most criminals are going to run away when they have a firearm of any sort leveled their way. For the ones that will stand and fight, I think revolvers are technically more reliable. An autoloader *can* jam, but revolvers are generally slower to reload unless you use speed loaders. Really just a matter of what you are more comfortable with. I will say that I love my S&W 9mm autoloader.

Well, I don't fancy myself a gunslinger so I don't see myself in an extended firefight anyway. I just thought about the pros and cons of each. I am aware of them but I just like to know from people who actually use them. Personally and theoretically I'd go with an autoloader, but a revolver would be fine too. And more fun to practice with

Given those two choices, mine is a revolver. No safety to fiddle with, less moving parts to jam, no question as to whether there is a round in the chamber. Simple.

That all said, for home defense, my first choice is a short (but legal) pump action 12 gauge shotgun. I should think its unmistakable sound of simply chambering a shell is enough to make most intruders wet themselves and run.

Quoted for the truth, lol
I certainly wouldn’t be lingering in a place if I just heard that!

I've actually heard cops say that too. Simply racking the slide is often enough.


None of you went with an AR-15 then? I certainly would if I could.

If you weren’t concerned about over-penetration then that would probably be fine. Personally, if I were going to get a rifle, I would want it to be useful for hunting deer as well as protecting the ol’ farmstead. That’s why an SKS is so appealing to me. I like the “classic rifle” look, the magazine is only ten rounds which should be plenty in most cases, and I’ve read that the 7.62 round is more reliable than 5.56 for deer hunting. Plus, they look like a blast to just shoot! The only thing that would concern me is that it might be difficult to find the ammo where I live. Not really sure, but it doesn’t matter anyway since I don’t have the funds for one, lol.
