Any semi-automatic weapon will send rounds down range very quickly while being cautious about distance. The Single-Stage Enhanced Polished Trigger gives you a smooth trigger pull every time you fire your rifle, while the Magpul polymer handguards provide a comfortable and secure grip. The 10-gauge is another shell that is rare to see these days.
I know a lot of first time buyers out there who have never fired a handgun let alone held one. Many are older or female and lack hand strength and machismo. The Walther CCP CM2 380 is a good choice due to soft recoil system and lighter spring making the slide easier to operate and place a round into battery. Ammo is relatively easy to acquire and the noise is a little less.

For instance, if you live on a farm or a ranch, with wide stretches of land to cover, the long-range capabilities of a rifle can be very helpful. Moreover, with assault rifles like the AR-15, you get high capacity and a lot of stopping power, but that’s if you live in a state with more relaxed laws. For instance, in a state like California, you’d be much better off with a pistol or shotgun, since they will be easier to reload. One of the drawbacks of using shotguns is their size. With an 18-inch barrel, wielding a shotgun can be difficult.
Whether you live in an urban center or rural countryside, you need to think about how you’ll protect your family and property from intruders. For responsible gun owners, there is little else that can provide the safety and security of a home defense tactical shotgun. On the other hand, pistols don’t generally have the kind of stopping power you can get from a shotgun or a rifle.

Although some birdshot loads can carry well over 500 pellets, these lightweight projectiles don’t carry a lot of kinetic energy. Although perfect for felling birds or bursting clay pigeons, they are less effective on large game or in self-defense. Handgun and rifle calibers are defined by their internal bore diameter. A 40-caliber handgun has 0.40 inch diameter bore. This means the bigger the number, the bigger the bullet the gun can fire. However, shotgun gauges are determined by a more archaic system.
Simply install the security bar between the floor and the interior doorknob of any hinged door by adjusting the length of the door stopper, and wha-lah, you’re barricaded! Set up takes just moments, so even in the event of a successful break-in, you can retreat to a safe room and deploy this device while you wait for help to arrive. For those that are not able to imagine what 2400 lumens looks like – a 300-lumen flashlight would be considered to be of average, or above-average brightness.

But you have to be 100% evil, 100% Nazi terrorist and 100% a perverted pedophile and rapist otherwise the KKK cops won’t think you are a true believer. Always go with the gun you like and of course, one that you’re comfortable using. This black-finished pistol is slick, easy to conceal, and even the smallest holsters or a purse, and can be chambered for .45 Colt or .410 depending on your preference.
I think Rick meant to say "external/manual safeties". I believe most if not all pistols have "safeties". Also, do you have any top revolver recommendations for beginners for self-defense/home invasion use. I am looking to purchase my first gun and learn all I can about it.

I will have to say that the choice of gun is secondary to being confident with your gun and practicing your plan. Visit frankproctorshooting.com for more information on Frank and his workshops. If an intruder broke into my home while I was watching television with my children sitting on my lap, I wouldn’t leave my children to grab a weapon that may be stored in another room.

That’s an old myth…just like the one about Nazi soldiers and North Koreans waiting to attack after they hear the ping from an M1 Garand’s ejected magazine. Nope, most experts agree that racking the slide only gives away your tactical advantage along with your location. Like I said, there are other examples of just plain bad information presented here, but the list is too long.
The Ruger Security 9 is a seriously more affordable option over the Glock 19. It is American made and sells for roughly 60% of the price of the Glock(Paid $299 for mine). The only drawback that I have found is that because it is still a relatively new product, holster and accessory options are somewhat limited. It is hammer fired as opposed to striker fired but by most any other metric equal to the Glock. All things being equal, I'll take a pistol with the fastest trigger re-set in a frame which is easy to conceal and also has a high round capacity.
Also, think about what features are important to you when choosing a rifle for home defense. Palmetto State Armory equipped it with a synthetic Magpul grip that provides a comfortable hold, while the Picatinny rail allows you to easily add your favorite optics. Its birdcage flash hider helps keep you on target, while the Single-Stage Enhanced Polished Trigger provides a silky smooth trigger pull. With an adjustable gas system, a 20-round capacity, and a 5lb trigger, it is easy to use.
