300 AAC Blackout for Home Defense? Maybe!
This video explores the suitability of the 300 AAC Blackout cartridge for home defense, comparing it against other common calibers and platforms. Instructor Joel Persinger, a firearms instructor and law enforcement patrol shotgun instructor, provides a pragmatic assessment, emphasizing practical considerations like over-penetration, magazine capacity limits in California, and the effectiveness of various firearms including shotguns and AK-style rifles. The discussion highlights the .300 Blackout's potential as a balance between the AR-15 platform's ergonomics and a more potent round than 5.56mm, especially with subsonic loads for reduced home penetration.
