What is your preferred Home Defense caliber, suppressed SBR or Bullpup - KentuckyBuddha - 01-03-2014
cory Wrote:Interesting Kentucky. I now believe if I lived in cartel country where there was a real possibility of dealing with an intruder with body armor, I'd be all but hanging up the handguns. I believe I'm going to look in the FN 5.7.
I wonder if there is any advantage over a plain old M-9 with Liberty Civil Defense in it as far as penetration or hydrostatic shock, plus you can actually find 9x19 to practice with all day long. I would definitely pick the 5.7 special ammo for an armor penetration contest, but as you suggest...that is far from likely to be a need. If it is...the noggin' probably isn't armored is it?

My house gun is a 12-gauge Mossberg 500 loaded with size 7 birdshot.

Aim small miss small.

I used to do the same thing in my 590 A1's! http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot3_2.htm

What I use is 45 1911 but given the choice of SBR or Bullpup, in theory and the given circumstances I'd go with the Bullpup & 5.56x45. Quick handling, fast follow-up shots and controllable penetration. That said, to me the bullpup is an unknown entity, so in reality it'd be the AR-15 SBR.

I've got to go with the 12 ga. Guys the option of bird shot, buck or slugs, seems the best choice for not over penetrating in a house or into your neighbors.

Well, since we're not going from the menu, I submit that the SW Governor with Winchester PDX's would be a wunnerful Home Defense choice. 6 rounds of scatter shot with 3 absolutely ruin your day plated cylinders, per shot. Not as glorious as a 12 gauge, bull pup or M4, but it can be kept it a nightstand safe, and retrieved very quickly.

If your going off script is go for a fully auto p90
What is your preferred Home Defense caliber, suppressed SBR or Bullpup - KentuckyBuddha - 01-04-2014
You can't buy a full auto p90 as I think you subtly imply. Levity aside though why would anyone want full auto in a home defense? If one were inclined to SBR a PS 90 wouldn't one or two at a time do it for you?
Bird shot is only dependably lethal to little birds. Little disks are a particularly poor choice as well. To paraphrase then jest at a line from one of those "Young Guns" movies from the 80's "...you know what happens when you shoot a man with $1.10 in dimes?" ....not much (unless perhaps if you are literally pressing the barrel against the person at the time you pull the trigger). I don't say this to be sarcastic in any way, I just don't want you to think you are going to protect yourself and your family with that.

Search the twangnbang youtube channel for 300 blk subsonic and 110 grain supersonic vs. level IIIA armor.

Very interesting, but predictable enough. In terms of a home invasion, I suspect the vast majority of them (at least for now) don't involve body armor. This means, of course, the 300BLK would be a viable defense weapon, as much as virtually all the others mentioned within this thread. This includes the "little disks" from the Win PDX1, .410. Don't believe me? See for yourself. Them ain't dimes being fired.

I have to say, though, that I am shocked, amazed, and astounded that not one single person has opted for 6.5 Grendel. I mean, where is the loyalty of members of the Horde, anyway??? :eek:

I agree with StanC .Non of those is a right answer. Com'on if you want to defend you home with you women your children and your old folks use something that will work every time . Use a Claymore. IED type. Blackpowder for low velocity and size 9 to 12 shot for poor penetration . Put them up high next to a video camera so you can see who is in the room; aim them down and across the room. Then you can use just about any weapon for cleanup.

Sadly I have seen for myself many times. Obviously with .410 from point blank range you can get reasonable penetration. I in no way meant to disparage your credibility, I had no idea you meant from a .410 at 5 feet where obviously the disks would not work like a parachute and have a reasonable amount of distance to cover.
