What is the best home defense weapon?
There are a lot things consider here. Baseball bat, Tomahawk, samurai sword, and of course, the best superior option of them all the pew pew. But which one do you pick?
I’d say picking a home defense weapon boils down to what I can handle fast and hit hard with. I lean toward 9mm—it’s got solid stopping power, low recoil, and on the training side, cheap ammo. A pistol like a Glock 19, P320/365, works for me in tight spots, but I’d grab a shotgun like a Benelli, Remington, etc if I want raw power and that intimidating racking sound. A a suppressed SCAR or MCX in 5.56mm are precise with high capacity, though I worry about overpenetration. A 9mm carbine might be my sweet spot; stable, effective, and less likely to punch through walls. It’s all about what I’ve trained with and my home’s setup. just kind of talking out loud here. What are your thoughts? And what do you use at home?
