Home Defense

[Spikes]

If you're not familiar with the type, make sure you get one with a relatively large hole in the rear sight (not exactly sure what its called), as it can block out a good portion of your target.

It's just a simple Ghost Ring sight, with a more intricate foresight than your normal bead/line foresight.

thanks spikes.

For home defense, I have a 10mm glock. That think packs a real wallop. Also in my gunsafe (the glock is by my nightstand in its case along with 3 clips loaded with both hollow tip and standard rounds, since bears are a legitimate worry where I live) is a ruger 308 semi-auto, with a tactical stock.

The thought of you with a gun is terrifying.

Don't forget a good flashlight, either handheld or weapon mounted - As well as some training on how to use a light properly indoors and with a weapon.  Target ID as mentioned before becomes much easier in the dark with a light obviously, not to mention the tactical advantage it'll give you over an attacker without a light, or without the training on how to use it defensively.

Agree 100%. A high powered LED flashlight (such as Surefire mounted on a gun) is great for target ID and he can't see you since the light is so bright. He is forced to cover his eyes or close them or turn his back. Either way making him vulnerable.

The thought of you with a gun is terrifying.

And the thought of you with any real, legitimate insult is unbelievable.

2 3/4-inch No. 1 buckshot generally is considered best for 12-gauge, even better than 00 buckshot. Google No. 1 buckshot for details. Also check theboxotruth.com.

Free tip for anyone using a flashlight for defence.  This is probably the most valuable little bit I picked up taking Surefire's course a few years ago.

Take your light when you enter a room and shine it straight up on the roof while presenting your weapon or keeping it at universal cover position:  Nearly every indoor room has a lightly painted or stippled roof, and by shining the light on it you illuminate the entire room instead of just the area in your beam.  It also makes you much less of a target since potential threats won't have a large beacon which will be close to your body to zero in on.

Give it a try, you'll see it works.

Always consider what's behind the walls of where you live in regards to firearms for home defence.  My father is a reloader so I join him for loading some of my own rounds for my own guns.  For my apartment here in the city I keep light trap rounds nearby my remington 12ga. and keep some light rounds that I loaded using a recipe for min-ricochet cast-iron target shooting handy in a spare magazine in the safe for my .308.  The idea beaing that if I god-forbid have to use them the rounds hopefuly won't go flying through more than one wall after hitting or missing my target.  Now for the family cabin up north I have a more medium-heavy selection.  Everything from buckshot and heavy-loaded buffalo long-rifle rounds for the bears to more typical varmit rounds and loads for the smaller trash-romping pests.
