10 Ways to Protect Your Home (These Guns Can Do the Job)

Gun News Daily

Security,

Here are some ideas. 

If you’re having a tough time deciding between the handguns on this list, we recommend visiting your local gun range and renting a few of them.

If you’re looking for an effective home-defense weapon, handguns are one of the most popular choices.

Why do so many people go with the handgun, especially when there are far more powerful guns available?

Their compact size makes it easy to store a handgun right next to your bed in a handgun safe specifically designed for getting your gun quickly in life or death situations.

That size also helps if you’re in tight quarters, such as a hallway or stairwell.

While rifles are more accurate and shotguns more powerful, handguns are more than accurate enough for close to mid-range encounters and are able to be drawn quicklywhen your life depends on it.

But which handgun is the right choice?

We’ve put together a list of the very best to help you choose.

OUR SELECTION PROCESS

Before we get to our list, we wanted to explain how we chose these guns. If you’re just interested in checking out the guns, you can skip to the list below.

Our main factors were the overall quality, reliability, accuracy, capacity and ease of use for each gun.

That means we went with the guns that we and other shooters have found to work very well every time and put shots on the target.

After all, when your life is on the line, you need a gun you can trust.

WHAT ABOUT STOPPING POWER?

Although we also took stopping power into account, there are some misconceptions out there about this concept.

Many mistakenly hold onto the belief that the 9mm is much weaker than larger rounds, such as the popular .45ACP.

This was true in the 80s, but ballistics technology has improved dramatically, and 9mm is now much more effective.

If you don’t believe us, consider the fact that the FBI and several police departments went back to using 9mm handguns in 2015.
