Home defense should always be a consideration for every homeowner. You will never be able to tell if your home will be singled out. Wouldn’t you rather be safe than not safe?
When it comes to home defense, there are multiple factors you have to consider when choosing the best weapon. One of the most significant factors is family. You can never tell what will happen in a dangerous situation so you always want to prepare for the worse and have a firearm anybody in the family can shoot.
The following 11 firearms are found to be best for home defense.
11. Glock 17 or 19
These Glocks are one of the most popular handguns in the world and for a good reason. Its polymer construction makes it lightweight and easy the handle making it perfect for home defense.

The Thunder, chambered in .380 ACP will better fit shooters with smaller hands and women and is easier to rack than many of its full-size competitors. While a smaller pistol, the magazine extension affords the shooter a full grip.

The .357 revolver is a favored firearm among enthusiasts. Even though revolver is powerful, they carry a kick when shooting them. On the other hand, they are simple to use, so it just depends on the person who is using it.
When choosing a home defense gun, the best advice is to try before you buy. If possible, borrow or rent one of these guns before laying down your hard-earned money. The most important factor, though, is to know your gun and how it works. Practice may not make perfect, but in a life-or-death, home defense situation, you’ll be glad you know what your gun can do and how to use it.
I think that this is an important role as part of making a big impact on the purchase of a fire arm ,as well as the helping to learn more about the wepon of your choice I don’t think that you can ever have enough knolage’ knowledge to learn how to keep up with a weapon to protect yourself to know how to do it in a hurry to know when to know where all these things aren’t you have to take into consideration you never know how you’re going to react if something happens so it’s best to keep up with everything that you can possibly learn in my opinion mrs. Crystal Smith
Thanks, that was few peaceful moments to enjoy looking at fire arms. My Family has always collected and enjoyed guns. Stay in touch
I enjoyed the time. Remember this country man.
I like bursa thunder
My choice Smith and Wesson Governor, with 410 pdx1 and Federal triple O buck for home defense.
I do believe that Mrs.Crystal Smith is correct about learning as much about your firearm that you choose to own as a homeowner because you don’t see the men and women in our military that just enter basic training getting a firearm their first day and told to go and shoot the weapon without any training. When they get the firearm that they will be using they have to go through hours and hours of training before they can even shoot the weapon and the training they go through is learning every piece of the firearm and that means taking the firearm apart and putting it back together several times, cleaning it, and then they have to learn all the aspects like trgectary, wind speed, velocity and safety. Then after all this is learned that’s when they are brought to the gun range to fire the weapon at targets so they can kill with one shot and so that a lot of them can become expert Marksman and then possibly become a sniper or just so that they can definitely defend themselves and the soldiers next to them. But besides all this I think that if as a homeowner we should be more than willing to put ourselves through a similar type of training so when it comes to it we won’t hesitate to using the firearm because there are some people that get a firearm they don’t bother going through any type of training and end up hurting themselves or the ones they love because of not knowing anything about the weapon they have.
