> [@PureXTC](#): > > Clarence gun show. They are amongst the cheapest made gun out there. But that why they are so reliable, because of the simplicity and lack of plastic parts. Mine came with a 5 and 30 round magazine. Don’t ever pay more that 400 for an AK and 100 for an SKS. fake aks are 350 bucks, real russian/korean/china are a hell of alot more. If you pay 350 for an AK your not getting the real thing. Also if your lucky to find a pre ban ak47, BUY IT! ---

Kel-tec is a real nice gun for the $. shot the Kel-tech that my neighbor and brother both had. And also the beretta cx-4. Hands down the kel-tech wins because of price and how it feels to shoot, and also accuracy. Beretta is nice, just not worth the cash. Also the .40 has more stopping power, the 9mm with hollow points will also stop someone, and at the range is cheaper to shoot. ---

> [@ILCisDEAD](#): > > piston grip shotgun… nothing says get the fuck out of my house fast than hearing the shotgun pump lol For home defense alone, a short barrel shotgun with shot loads is the best, bar none. It’s simple to fire in high stress. Need not have pinpoint accuracy. Devastating wounds at close range. Small (6 or 8) shot load will only go thru 1or 2 layers of plaster. Look for a 20 gauge pump with a 18" tube. Throw a flashlight on it, and a pistol grip, you’re good to take on the scum of the earth! If you’re going the semi-auto handgun route, my Baretta has NEVER jammed. My Colt, S&W, and others will jam once in a while. I’ve owned guns for nearly 30 years, and my next one will be a Glock. ---

There are far better choices than a glock now a days, like the Springfield Armory XD-357, that will certainly stop anyone trying to jack yo shit. ---

1. +1 to ugo. Shotgun shot is the best option for home defense. 2. piFUCKINGcard. How many of you first time gun owners looking for something for “home protection” are actually just justifying having a cool gun? Ever had an intruder? If you ever do GTFO if at all possible. Confrontation is for only when absolutely unavoidable. Too much can go wrong. What if he’s a faster draw than you? What if it’s a buddy playing a trick on you? There’s no such thing as a movie-style standoff in that situation. You never point a gun at anything you don’t intend to put a hole in. 3. Get what you want. Find/make friends with more experienced gun owners who are willing to teach you safe handling. Keep that motherfucker locked up. 4. You’re going to want to shoot it. A lot. Target shooting is a lot of fun. Keep the price of ammo in mind. ---

lol im willing to bet 1/2 of the folks on here wouldn’t know what the fuck to do if someone pulled a gun on them, and cower in the closet. Its all talk until it actually happens. And fry, even as something as simple as a derringer is fine for home defense. it only takes 1 shot to put a man down. Shotgun is also nice tho 🙂 ---
