That would require some serious remodeling of the house if you ever used it for HD!
Yes, I get the fact a pump shotgun has a lot of intimidation factor going for it. And it certainly will dispatch with a Bad Guy. But I'm not a big fan of long guns inside places like my condo; too long, two hands needed to operate it and pretty sizeable recoil too.
AR's have a lot of the same issues, minus the recoil, plus being unbearably LOUD. With a suppressor, sure. Without, I'll choose something else ... which in my case is either a Glock 19 or a Canik TP9SF stuffed chock full of angry little 9mm's. In the winter, I change my bedside gun to a 10-round .45 ACP Ruger. All of them are totally reliable, have lots of rounds and are maneuverable. Anybody who would enter my domicile isn't going to know the layout as well as I do, so I want the ability to move behind cover and not be clanking the barrel into a door jam or something.
It's outstanding!I’m most likely going to get me a Canik one day, to go along with my G19 also. That Canik trigger is just too good out of the box to not get one for the price.
It's outstanding!
I've owned a zillion guns and there's no question the Canik's quality is right up there with any of the polymer-framed guns, including Glock. The trigger is far superior and the build quality is amazing for any price, let alone their price point. I highly recommend it.
You won't regret it.You’ve convinced me.

They have a ton of different models now, ranging from race guns to micro compacts. Mine, the TP9SF is full size, 18-round magazine, excellent sights and, yeah, it's got a cool FDE Cerakote finish.
Sweet!!!
Me too. I have owned many guns, and the 38 special is my go to.I have a 38 special revolver in the nightstand. I’d grab it and kill the intruder. PA is a Castle Doctrine state and I wouldn’t hesitate to use lethal force against anyone dangerous enough to enter an occupied home at night.
A revolver is best because it can lay in a drawer for 20 years and shoot with certainty. A semi can not be counted on in that scenario.

That's a tough one. For my house there are lots of rooms and kids and dogs. I would call 911 first, and

I'm a big fan of Mas and Grant Cunningham. I have no problems with semi-auto's but love wheel guns.There's a lot to be said for the old wheel gun. It's more than likely what I'm carrying, even though I have several quality semi-autos.
