Dear Patriot, Choosing a gun for home defense is one of the most serious decisions you may ever have to make, especially in the event that you need to use it... Most experts have their own prejudices, based mostly on their own training or background. They assume that you will have a similar background. My approach is different. I strive to assume nothing. That's exactly why I have no qualms about recommending a very specific type of home defense weapon. From the Blog: "In most movies with climactic home defense scenes, the hero usually carries a semi-auto pistol or a Dirty Harry style .357 revolver. There are two reasons for this: 1.) Hollywood movie producers know next to nothing about guns. 2.) These shootout scenes wouldn’t last nearly as long if the hero was armed with a pump shotgun. To drag a shootout scene out for maximum cinematic effect, many shots must be fired -- and the vast majority of them need to be misses..." >>CONTINUE READING openemailnow.com/iem/link...140032&N=147573&L=350&F=H Yours in Liberty, Oli Fischer Poster Comment: Best home defense weapon is a shotgun loaded with 00 Buck for the first round, and a slug for the 2nd. If you miss on the first, or there are more than one intruders, you need a slug to go thru any furniture they might get behind. ;)

I looked at an FN in 5.7. Way out of my budget. Went with an EAA Witness in .40. At 25' my groupings are two inches or less. 17+1 gives me enough rounds to deal with what I may run into. For home defense I recommend a saiga 12gauge. Reliability and minimal recoil. Magazine fed means fast reload if you have to.
S&W 686/.357, backup is my HK USP Compact/.40S&W.........I'm guaranteed to be rendered deaf if I ever have to use either one indoors :-o
Beautiful! Your S&W looks a lot like my stainless Taurus 8-shot revolver for which I traded an Air-Lite just to get the extra capacity. Wonderful tools, that I hope never to employ.
That 686 is a $829 pistol right now, I paid something like $300 for it in 2000, came with original box, original wood grips, full can of cop reloads (Houston cop trade-in when they went to semi-auto's). Best deal I ever came across, and I did it through a 'gun wanted' ad in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram!! "Taurus" is just another way of saying "Smith & Wesson" for the most part, a lot of their pistols are made on retired/surplus S&W machinery.

Didn't know that - thanks. The first Taurus I fired was christine's 9-shot(?) stainless .22 revolver...really, really sweet, tight action, light smooth trigger - a quality sidearm.
