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

[link to www.vintageprojects.com] Not the ones I've seen, but excellent nonetheless! |

I think a good, inexpensive and useful package should include a 12 gauge auto with 3" mag 00 rounds and at least one 9mm backup with a high capacity mag containing fully jacketed teflon coated rounds. Of course I don't believe in guns. They are barbarous relics. If I were to encounter an intruder I'll simply call the local authorities and offer the intruder tea... to stall them until the police arrive. PS- Crossbows? Yes it's safe, it's very safe, it's so safe you wouldn't believe it.... ... No, it's not safe, it's very dangerous. Be Careful. |

I mean I can understand your cowardess, I mean everyone has a gun so if you dont then you dont stand a chance right ? It must really suck to afraid all the time, I would feel sorry for you if you werent so pathetic. Quoting: shameless 298864 Like smith said in shoot em up, I HATE A PUSSY WITH GUN IN HIS HAND. Well it seemed to work out pretty well again the arrogant Redcoats a couple of hundred years ago. Not much has changed on the Brit side, you still act just as arrogant and privileged, and still think Americans are less than. Why should the Americans be any different, their just as able to kick the ass of the greatest military on earth. |

A .45 is devastating if you can handle it but you generally have less rounds available and more recoil. A 9mm on the other hand is no slouch and you generally have more rounds and less recoil to deal with. If you can place your shots either will get the job done. Just use a good defense round and I don't think it makes that big of a difference. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25276568 United States 02/14/2013 03:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I like .380 or .22 All pistol calibers are insufficient man-stoppers, and that includes the .45 acp. I'm deadly deadly accurate with my .22, and nearly as good with the Walther. Remember kids, shot placement is critical, and head-shots count 5x. |
