[Link to invalid post] got me thinking ... what handgun (not rifle or shotgun) do most people grab first for home defense? I reach for a S&W 4006.

H&K USP .45ACP loaded with Federal 230 gr. Hydra-Shock HP's. Not as wide as a church door, nor deep as a well, but 'twill serve.

What I've got. An FEG PJK-9HP. Clone of a Hi-Power loaded with Golden Sabres. Backup/CCW is an FEG APK MK II in .380
 
Glock 23 loaded with 165gr Remington Golden Sabers. So far it's the gun I shoot best & the thing doesn't seem to know how to malfunction :-)

Glock 21 with M3 Illuminator on the rail.I trust my kids lives with Glock-nothing else.

------------------
"middle of the road"-where a yellow streak and dead carcasses are found.
 
Beretta 92FS with Federal 9bp.

i plan on changing soon to a glock 31 probably with Federal 125gr Hydra-Shocks and an M3 or sure-fire light. (of course i first have to get the gun; which i hope is soon).
 
S&W 4516 with 185+P JHP Corbon's Holstered with Extra mag in 230+P JHP Corbon's.
And a very heavy maglite :)

Still shopping for a shotgun..........
 
USP9C w/ 135gn Federal Hydra Shok, chambered and decocked.

Mossberg 590 w/ 3" OO Buck, chamber empty.

Although I have a Gold Cup and a GP100 the pistol I have nearest is my Sig 230 - .380.
I have shot it so much and have become so familiar with it that I KNOW I have a better chance getting hits with it than my other handguns.It fits in my hand so well, and it points like another finger.The .380 gets back on target a little quicker than the bigger calibers.It keeps me covered between my bed and the closet my 12 gauge is in!
 
Colt CCO with 230 grain HydraShok or 230 grain Remington Golden Saber.

Second choice is Browning HiPower with Federal 9BP
 
Glock model 20 stoked with Winchester 175 grain silvertips or Para P-14 chocked full of Top Notch brand 185 grain +p loads. Either one will serve...
 
Any good gun in 9mm or above, that can be shot accuratly and reliably.... the max round or gun I would use would be a .45 "Long Colt", a potent proven killer that has mild recoil... Posse up!

Peace
:cool: IZZY
 
A 1911 loaded with 230 grain Win. SXT for me.
A S&W 640 loaded with Glaser for the wife
