This has been covered at length. However, I always like to hear opinions and reasons why people prefer one firearm over another for home defense. I am a traditionalist. I like a 12 gauge with good ol fashioned bird shot.
No big deal. This subject is better suited for the long guns forum. How 'bout you tell us a little about yourself? This is the introductions forum after all.
Ill tell you about my favorite guns. You can tell a lot about a person by the guns the love. I love shotguns. Especially the classics; Winchester 1897, Winchester model 12, Remington 870, and Browning A5 1929 Belgium made. I love muzzleloaders, I hunt deer with a with lever action 44mag. I prefer revolvers over semi auto pistols. I have recently gotten the bug to expand into the world of center fire rifles.
I recently shot a M1 and it has caused me to fall in love. I have an old 303 that I shoot but it is not even as remotely as satisfying as shooting the M1. I often tell my wife that I am the perfect husband; I shoot straight, brew my own beer, make my own bacon, and am a pit masters.
