Frequently Asked Questions

What are some popular handgun choices for home defense?

For home defense, handguns like the Springfield Armory Hellcat are considered viable options due to their capacity, often ranging from 12 to 15 rounds. These are suitable for individuals who carry a firearm daily and transition it to their nightstand for home security.

What types of shotguns are recommended for home defense?

Shotguns like the Remington 870 Express Tactical, featuring a door breacher choke and rail, are popular. Semi-automatic options such as the Rock Island VR80, with available 9-round and 19-round magazines, and compact models like the Mossberg 590S that accept 'shorty' shells, are also discussed.

Are AR pistols suitable for home defense?

AR pistols, like the CMMG Banshee chambered in 5.7x28mm with a 40-round magazine, offer significant firepower and compactness. However, their extreme loudness indoors is a critical factor to consider, potentially impacting hearing.

What about firearms for smaller individuals or those sensitive to recoil?

Youth models like the Mossberg Bantam, available in .410 bore and 20 gauge, are recommended for individuals sensitive to recoil. These firearms are designed to be manageable for a wider range of users in a home defense scenario.
