In reply to the discussion: What is your home defense firearm? [View all]oneshooter
(8,614 posts)31. I carry an older SIG 220, alloy frame in .45, night sights
no rail. As a carry weapon it is combined with 2extra mags on the off side. Loving Wife keeps"Her" Colt LW Commander by her side. When it gets dark then her 995 carbine w/red dot sight and my AR with light and night sights are found on the appropriate sides of the bed.
Loads are defensive, 230gr JHP in the sidearms, 50gr JHP (20rds) in my rifle and 145gr JHP in her carbine. There is also saddle pouches on both longarms a 30rd mag for mine and 2-10rd mags for her.

And to be fair, all religious fanatics may be hard to stop. Even those not trying to kill you.

What a dumb question to answer in public, especially if you actually need self-defense.
