Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best types of firearms for home defense?

The best home defense firearms depend on personal preference and familiarity. Options include pistols like the Staccato P, 12-gauge shotguns such as the Radikal S4, and compact rifles like the SCAR 15P or BRN-180 in calibers like 5.56 or .300 Blackout.

Is a weapon-mounted light important for home defense?
