Message Subject 9mm or .45 ACP? What is your preferred home defense round?

Dunk, you don't know squat.

A)Why do you assume that the autolaoder doesn't have one up the spout in the first place? Or are you attempting a straw man argument. Naughty, naughty, that is intellectually dishonest.

B)Why do you assume that it is so difficult to rack the slide? Are you limp-wristed?

C) A long gun for encounters at less than 10 feet? You are asking to have that gun ripped out of your hands. Would you care for a demonstration?

Since you clearly don't know shit about the subject, please shut the fuck up.


Altough I don't agree with everything Dunk said, there are quite a few cases that back him up. Generally it is considered a better idea to use a shotgun for home defense. I'm not sure I agree that using Number 7 shot would be my choice.

And using a long gun at 10 feet is perfectly doable. A 26inch Mossberg 500 would be a very nice weapon at ten feet. With a cut down 18 1/2 inch barrel, firing some #2 or #4 goose shot. Maybe even some BB shot...it'd do nicely. A hit from 60+ .22 caliber BB shot versus missing with a .45. Why missing? Because aligning a shotgun is easier than a handgun..esp in the dark. Two hands sitting on a shotgun line up better than two clenched fists around a pistol grip. Makes for better natural aiming. Ask anyone. Shooting a long arm accurately is much easier than shooting a pistol accurately.

One thing I disagree on. Pump shotguns. The South African police found that using pump shotguns is a bad idea. Automatic shotguns were far better. Less things to worry about. With an automatic, it's just aim, and fire. No worrying about short stroking the shotgun. And I trust the South African police when it comes to shooting people. *smile*

Why should I ask anyone? I have my own experience and training. Two hands sitting on a shotgun, eh? You'd better hope they aren't the hands of the home invader about to disarm you. How fast can an asailant close on you at ten feet? Way too fast. Technique for disarming? Simple. Ex cons trained in prison? You bet.

Ever been "in the shit?" No? Then don't talk from under your hat.
