Is there anything better then 300 blk for home defense?

[ike320]

Open to suggestion on anything better then 300 blackout for home defense. I mean it’s a 30 cal with 30-60 capacity, in a small package (ar pistol, 20-24in overall length) with great penetration, stopping power, fantastic reliability and will be suppressed to top it off.

Someone breaks into my house they will be met with a 12ga 3 1/2inch #4 buck load. Pretty nasty stuff. I consistently kill coyotes out to 60 yards with 3inch #4 buck

12 gauge slugs.

I think the BLK would be a great defense round out of a carbine, especially in more rural environments that might include some pest control.

I keep a 12 gauge with #4 buck, too, just like @Tlock .

12 gauge slugs.

Damn! That's hardcore!

 

[NeoBlackdog]

12 gauge 00.

00 buck here out of a Mossberg 590-A1. No one will argue the lethality of a shotgun.

Well, if you like 300 BLK, try it with frangible bullets. Puts down your targets but the folks in the next room are much safer. Think about it.

I'm just gonna assume at house ranges, what you shoot them with matters a lot less than THAT you shoot them. A .22 to the chest from 10 ft isn't something you just walk off.

But hey, you do you. Gotta keep the economy greased.

Another vote for 12 GA with buckshot. The sound of racking the slide of a shotgun is fairly well recognized. Could dissuade an unwelcome visitor before things escalate.

Big fan of .44spl. 240grain HP makes a hole about the size of a quarter soon as it hits meat. 5 of them in my Bull dog pug. Very small pistol very hard to get ahold of by a bad guy nothing to cock no safety to fiddle with. Pick it up pull the trigger worry about when the ringing in your ears is going awake. Bad guy has a garden hose sized hole with blood flowing out of it and is deaf.

I leave my options open.

 

[Caveman Jim]

If you live in an appt complex or neighborhood then I’d opt for a 20 or 12 gauge w/#4 buckshot due to the possibility of over penitration from a 125-220g slug from a carbine/ar pistol.

Another vote for 12 ga. Pump, 10 shot magazine, loaded with 00 buck and a barrel mounted stream light for ease of operation.

that doesn’t mean there isn’t strategically placed high capacity weapons all over the home but I like my shotgun as a first choice.

i don’t know man. we’re way out there. and don’t expect much excitement.

i lost all firearms in a tragic boating accident. but my general plan involves meeting any unwanteds in a loincloth with my hunting bow at full draw.

i feel it’s a strong visual deterrent.

and yet i’m not quite sure how much sheetrock a 100 grain broadhead will go through at 300fps.

Running a SOE single point bungee sling and velcro side saddle on my 590-A1. Tritium dot up front, Streamlight white light, magpul furniture, mag extension tube.

If the perpetrator ends up going to the forever box, which is a high probability with a 12 guage, there'll probably be less potential legal ramifications with an old school boom stick.

50 guard dogs and about 30 armed guards. Or

... in a loincloth...

That will do it.
