    Greetings, I've been looking for a way to securely store a home defense gun in my bedroom. My large gun safe is in the basement and I've tried the various portable safes but don't like any of them, plus someone can just take the whole thing if I'm not home. I bought a gun-hide shelf and it...

    I guess I have carried a sidearm since Moby Dick was a minnow. I am by no means old, but when I was a boy the Dead Sea was just "tragically ill"! After spending 57 years in Kentucky, we moved to Upstate New York 3-1/2 years ago to be close to our only child, her husband, and out 5 grandsons. I...

    Hey all, Anybody have recommendations for some good high frangible 12 gauge ammo? Looking to switch from my buckshot and slug mix to high frangible after seeing some tests online. I've found a few options, but am not sure what I should be looking for for dedicated home defense options.

    Hi guys, so im trying to figure out the feasability of a magazine loaded semi auto 12 gauge pistol. Im refering to the 1 3/4 rounds that have come out for home defense. I searched around and the only firearm i was able to locate that was magazine fed 12 gauge through the handle was the Mag7. But...

    >Link< I need a relatively secure place to keep one or two guns for a potential bump in the night. The only problem is if I want a rifle close at hand I'll need to drag my container up two flights of stairs (hence a 300lbs+ safe just won't cut it). I think this is one of the more promising...

    I'm looking to purchase a new 1911 for home protection. Either the .45 or the 9mm compact version. I'm looking for people's opinions on all the different brands and their reliability. I don't currently have the budget to spend $1000 on one, looking more around $500. I know this limits my...

    Hi I'm clay I have been dabbling by myself in the gun world for quite some time and still havent learned everything that I would like. My gf and I recently have moved to Compton, CA so a home defense piece is definitely in the very near future for us. I have some experience with gun handling...

    Ok, the title of this may sound a certain way, but hear me out. I'm currently living with my parents due to being in paramedic school, and my dad doesn't want me owning any guns that have any real use to them i.e home defense. Let me put it all into perspective. My dad lives in this delusional...

    Hi everyone - I recently purchased a .40 cal pistol in the hopes of using it for home defense AND target practice. However friends have suggested that a pistol is actually not a good home defense weapon but instead a shotgun since it has a wider spray (if using buck shot). Has anyone actually...
  12. Shotgun Discussion
    I am wondering if there is a cost benefit to shortening a shotgun barrel and refinishing it vs. just buying a shorter barrel. I like the versatility of a shotgun, and the Mossberg I'm picking up from my brother has two barrels. I can keep the slug barrel if I decide I want/need to hunt, but I...
