What caliber and grain do you prefer for a home defense round?

12-gauge, because although my Mossberg 500 is fun, I consider it sacrificial and I can afford for the police to lose it.
>>30448929
It just bothers me, you know what is in there, unless you're going to steal shit like a nigger why?
20mm HE
129gr +P .38SPL hydra shok, 129gr Golden Sabre +P 9mm, or 165gr Ranger SXT .40 S&W. Same as what I carry.

>>30448815
If I'm in the garage then I'm grabbing my ar loaded with 62rg otm
If I'm in my bedroom then I would be the 30-30 winchester deer loads 150gr soft tip
Anywhere else it would be my walther pps 9mm hp gold dot (I forget the weight)
>>30449029
Is there an advantage to one grain over another? Im running a 125gr .357 mag hollow point
>>30449050
>deer rifle as a home defense gun
>>30448987
Youve never inspected the brass before you buy? Its not like its illegal, and im not a nigger trying to steal anything. These are 50 cal BMGs in the OP pic which I had never really seen in real life so I opened it to take a look. Not a big deal
>>30448815
.30 carbine FMJ.
Feeds like a dream, got 15 rounds of go fuck yourself. And while it is true that I will shoot through my target, my wall, and all the other walls, and probably my car, it will get the guy dead. Also my house is empty and my Waifu is eternal, I fear for nothing.

>my Waifu is eternal

>>30449093
dump that 125gr. Most factory 125gr 357 mag jhp are pretty anemic and those that are loaded to the limit do not hold up well at the velocity. Underwood loads a 158gr xtp nice and toasty. I suspect they are using ~19gr of lilgun.
>>30449215
.30 carbine is like a hot loaded .357, it won't keep much energy if it exits the guy
>>30449321
I've shot a deer and thought I missed because I saw the impact on a tree 25 meters past the deer at what appeared to be 'full speed ahead captain'. Then the deer crumpled.
>>30448973
This, god help intruders when a reliable semi auto 556 under $300 hits market
>>30449373
just read the FMJ bit. Yeah, that'll mess some property up. also stop fucking hunting g deer with FMJ .30. Niggers might deserve to die slow from exsanguination but the deer never did no one harm.
>>30449237
>garbage cans
oh my!
>>30449410
Shit, can you imagine? I'd buy two just to have an extra. We're so close with ARs but I don't think that'll be the gun to do it.
12-ga 00 Buck, or 20-ga #3 Buckshot
>>30449498
AR's get the advantage of ubiquity in parts and sheer number made to drive down cost but yes it will likely be some hi point style brick shaped pipe that breaks the price barrier through sheer retarded simplicity....... and I would have at least 2
>>30449306
Really? should i look into something heavier?
the sales guy sold me up the river on these
77gr otm
>>30449651
A lot of it is personal preference. im sure any 125gr 357 load is more than capable of taking down a dindu. But I see many 158gr loads going just as fast or faster than 125gr loads. The load I keep in my 357's is a 164gr coated cast bullet going 1550fps from a 6" revolver and 2,000fps from a 16" carbine.
12ga 3 inch Hornady critical defense in my 870.

I open up ammo boxes on the regular. Had to see what .17WSM looked like in real life today.
Wasn't disappointed
I open cartons of eggs before I buy them. Always good to check.
>>30449428
It's all about shot placement.
[spoiler]That was with a hollowpoint by the way, soft points don't feed at all worth a shit into a M1 Carbine.[/spoiler]
I've never had a problem, but tend to not shoot unless I'm really fucking close with a really clear shot.
Just 55 grain xm193 and 147 grain gold dots

>>30449746
This is the right answer.
10mm 200 gr. If I can't get to the 12. 00 buck if I get to the 12. 7.62x39 HP if it's a lynch mob.
Some usual 9x19, 9x17?
Maybe S&W .40, Colt .45(11.43xforgot), .357 mag
OF COURSE .22 lr
.308 110 gr V-MAX out of my Ruger Scout.
I only own one gun so it's all I got for home defence.
>>30451081
Best post.
.22 short, cause shot placement, if I hit someone in the eye 4-5 times, I may get to the brain

148gr 9mm at standard pressure.
20mm
>>30448815
>>30448815
The only rational answer is a 4 bore.
>>30448815
Well, my home defense pistol is a 9mm. I choose my own handloads: a 124gr XTP loaded up to about 1250 fps. It's a smoking hot round. Zero pressure signs and is 100% reliable, so I am very happy with it.
>>30449237
>shoot intruder
>breaks your arm in the process
>>30450032
You should see what 17wsm does to melons.
You really won't be disappointed.
What if these cheeky chavs break into your house? Would you be able to defend yourself, anon?
>>30452356
Yes we all watch forgotten weapons too
>>30448815
For shogun I prefer to have a mix in the tube. Bird, buck, buck & ball, and finally slug.
I'd probably go straight to the AK though, usually have a bunch of HP or SP loaded and ready.
45acp, 9mm, and wife's side of bed is 38special. I also keep a 50beo behind the headboard for those special encounters.
12 gauge pump:
First shell is birdshot for "Well, hello there."
Second shell is buckshot for "You're really not to bright, eh."
Third shell is a slug for "OMG, it's a fucking Terminator."
>>30452462
Uh, the first shit would probably kill them if they're in the room with you. You're just losing lethality reliability and penetration, and not gaining anything in return
>>30452477
A buckshot in close range would definetly fuck you up. If not, severily disable you.
>body armour slams against your chest and the whole kinetic force goes right to your ribs

2 bore is better
120mm MPHE
I like to stop home invasions before the invaders cross the border.
>>30452508
155mm M107 HE.
I like to make sure they don't cross the border in the first place.
>>30448815
135g 9mm +P Critical Duty from a Sig 320c or whatever happens to be in my AR at the time.
180gr 10mm auto
>>30452521
Well yes, that was the point. The problem with 155 is that it's much harder to get it to hit a single guy. Time fuzed, Direct-fire 120mm HE works better.

>>30448815
My bedside gun is a 1911 loaded 10+1 with 230 great Gold Dots.
My carry gun is loaded with 124gr HST
I usually have my AR with a loaded mag and empty chamber handy too.
>>30448846
I check to see if products are sealed or if unsealed products are all there all the time.
That said, I see assholes who open up sealed ammo boxes at walmart and just leave everything scattered every where all the time (shotshells, since walmart doesn't lock those up for some reason)
>>30448815

Probably thinks birdshit won't stop you from down the hall.
>>30452462
if u hit a 300lbs nigger with bird shot its just gonna piss him off even more as he charges u
>>30452632
might as well toss a granade
>>30458087
Add PCP maybe but otherwise nigga just got blasted wif a scattergat yo. I don't think he's got time to figure out it was only birdshot before the next round is readied.
I don't know about you rich fucks but the longest clear shot in my house is like 10 yards tops.
What weight would yall recommend for a .357 mag HD round?
Also, what brand?

was it a dindu?
>>30459828
I had been out at the range and hadn't put everything away yet. Gun safe was in the basement and my pistol was still disassembled on my desk.
Missed, yeah, heart was pumping a bit. No, wasn't a melanin-enhanced individual, was one of our local tweakers (guy lives about half a mile from me, known to the cops for trying shit like this.)

12 gauge, 00 buckshot. I'll most likely be aiming down a flight of stairs so I'm not too concerned about penetration.
>>30452398
meh, the 500 really isn't THAT bad. Yes it has a lot of recoil but it isn't unmanageable. I put 40 rounds through it today, a mix between 350, 460, 650 and 715gr bullets.
>>30452632
meh, most bullets pretty much stop once they hit a brick or concrete. That expanded bullet went through about 42" of water and ended up about 12" deep in the berm.
