Shotgun is much better for general home defense. Nothin' works quite like the ole schwack-schwack of rackin' a 12 gauge to cause major douchebag bowels to cut loose. Plus, you are lot less likely to mortally offend the neighbors. Also, a laser dot always adds to the entertainment.
I was sleeping in one Sunday morning when somebody rang the doorbell. I keep snoozing then heard a bang-bang-bang as somebody attempted to break down my back door. Four kids got the surprise of their lives. Cops tracked the crap trail to their house.
Very nice! The surefire actually has a pretty bright drop in now and it is single mode but I have no idea what it actually is because I bought it used. I do know it kinda has a very light purpleish tint. Is there a way of finding out what it actually is?
You need one. If you fire any of your big wheelguns, you may hit MY house....
I love the 'chainsaw' grip on the door-breach Mossies. They highlighted one on "Top Shot" last week, and I felt the tug of my wallet, headed for the gun shop all by itself.
I also didn't know I 'needed' the FN Five-seveN (yes, that's exactly how it's spelled...) until then. 20 rounds of 2000+ fps hot lead....talk about a flat shooter.
Just keep in mind that those 5.7mm rounds are basically hitting about as hard as .22 magnums. So don't expect to be able to blow down buildings or giant Japanese robots with them.
As the internet sucks for actually conveying a tone that accompanies conversation, I make the following questions and statements without implying that you are in any way a doody head or some sort of Communist:
Where are you getting the figures on that foot/pound? All the literature that I've perused on the 5.7mm seems to put impact energy at around 250 ft/lb for pistol length barrels? I do love that 20 round magazine, but I'm wary of popping off little 40 grain hate pills and expecting results.
SS195 |---------(27 gr @ 2600 fps)----------|--------(420 ft. lbs)------|---------(16 inches)------| 22WMR |--------(40 gr @ 1900 fps)----------|--------(320 ft. lbs)------|---------(24 inches)------|
Those are the longer barrel lengths; from the pistol barrel it looks like they show:
Muzzle |-----------(320 ft. lbs)-----------|
I can't find the 390+ number now....It serves me right for going by memory.
At ~9X the cost of a 22WMR, I don't see this as a good 'plinking' gun either....
Not to get too far off topic, but I think I'm a traditionalist when it comes to projectiles- leave the aluminum for the flashlight tubes and give me good old fashioned dense metals for poking holes in things.
Not that I'd turn down a free P90 if someone offered it to me, mind you.
jeantyou is a reincarnated spammer, dead once again. Her signature was used by a different paisley artist not that long ago. When I click on her username (jeantyou) I get "Access denied." As far I as know, that is the fate of spammers and trolls.
That's funny! I've been pretty quick to start making paisley references and otherwise busting chops when I read something suspicious. But after, I sometimes ask myself, "What if that was a legitimate user I just chased away?" I guess that one slipped by. Too funny.
