GUYS! My Signature Blade with CIVIVI Knives is finally out!!! Check it out here: amzn.to/3T7OuBD
I run a Sig Rattler Canebrake for home defense. It works well for me. I train with it constantly. I CQB my house every evening to learn the lay of the land. Gotta know your castle if you're to defend it.
Bought a micro conversion kit for the wife and kid a while back. They both handled it like a champ and shot extremely accurately as well. Highly recommend!
Same!! It really helped my wife with accuracy and confidence. I’ve got it setup with a 30 rd Glock mag and low velocity hollow points.
I like the idea of a micro conversion for sure for ease of mag use and to improve using the pistol in question
While I do like 9mm for home defense, I can’t help look back at all of the evidence of over penetration. Yes, it depends on weight and velocity, a lot. However, light grain 556 with a lot of velocity is going to explode almost on impact. No 9mm is going to do that, other than that light stuff made for planes. Of which, I’ve never seen for sale anywhere. When you factor that into the accuracy debate, I 100% want an ar platform. 9mm, out of that longer barrel will penetrate deeper. Varmint 556 loads, getting down to even 40 grains, won’t penetrate nearly as much. I would almost go as far as to say that would be fine even in an apartment complex. I would love to actually test this, though.
As far as shotguns go, I’m not touching birdshot. However, never underestimate number four buck shot.
À
I dont need to test anything i have seen it first hand in operations HR and barricades that I have done. Standard 556 amd green tip will go through 2 interior walls unless it hits a wooden stud.
@@RealWorldTactical yes but 9mm will do the same and then some. I agree that the lighter 5.56 (55gr or less) will penetrate less than nearly all 9mm slugs. They just tend to break apart sooner. M855 green tip is a different story.
@@RealWorldTactical you...you know theres OTHER rounds besides green tip right?.....I think you'd be surprised at how few walls a 223 varmint round will go through.
@@RealWorldTactical you should have clarified what you meant. Ammo selection is important for home defense. 556 in A-Max or the like will tumble and or explode. It dumps the energy before penetrating multiple walls.
Better than a 9mm pistol.
I own all three platforms of home defense and love each type but I got to go with my Mossberg shotgun as my primary home defense choice…
Training and knowing your environment is absolutely key. And I agree there is no such thing as a best weapon, it's about what feels Good for you. Great info Tony, looking forward to the next video
Everyone is of a different mind set. I keep a 20 gauge auto loader, tactical style with 2 1/2 inch cut shells with #4 bird shot (lead). The cut shells work great for keeping the shot inside a 6 inch circle and reducing recoil. My wife keeps a 9 mil carbine by her side of the bed. A lot of the choice is experience. My wife is veteran and I am retired LEO and firearm instructor so we are proficient with what is in the ready condition in our house. All our weapons have lights attached to the weapon for night use.
Pistol caliber carbines are also great options for home defense especially if you live with a lot of people or live in an apartment complex.
I run a 7.5” 9mm AR with Holosun red dot, stream light weapon light, and 30 round pmags with the Endomag inserts to run 9mm. Only thing I’m waiting on is a suppressor that is in NFA jail awaiting approval.
Yes that what i said, if you dont have the money for an ar pistol then get the mck.
@@RealWorldTactical thanks man. Keep up the great work
Single shot and over under shotties with propper ammo selection are very underrated for people with extremely minimal training. Having a simple manual of arms can be a life saver. More ammo is always better but it doesn't do you any good if you don't know how the safety works.
There isn’t a simple answer for the “what’s the best home defense firearm” question. In most cases, the bad guy breaks in because he either thinks you have something he wants or he knows you have something he wants. In the first scenario, usually once he discovers you have a firearm too, he leaves. In the second scenario, there might be a gun fight because he knows what he is coming for and ready to fight for it. Either way, be ready for whatever.
The best one is the one youve got. Tony is the first guy Ive seen who said "there is no right one...the right one is the one that works for you". Thats the truth! Use what you're comfortable with. If you're broke buy a shotgun.. even a hi point 9..theyre cheap and they work. I use a Beretta 92 for home defense personally.
Love your videos sir very educational! I’ve been running subsonic .300 blackout suppressed out of a Daniel Defense PDW. Has less penetration then .556/.223 and better ballistics then a pistol caliber carbine. Only problem is ammo cost! $1.30 and up a round!
I have been running the same
Needs to be said that any rounds you plan to use in a semi auto shotgun for defense need to be tested to make sure they cycle the gun properly. Birdshot among other lower power loads don't always provide enough energy to fully cycle the action.
One important caveat to remember when recommending birshot for a semi auto is that the "budget" semi auto 18in shotguns do not run reliably. The lack of power from birshot will not reliably cycle the action to chamber round after round. I would recommend a pump shotgun if u are on a budget and practice practice practice with it if u go the shotgun route.
It really depends on the gun specifically
Benelli m4 is not "budget" and it has difficulty cycling birdshot until the spring is worked in. Each semi auto will differ
@@boomee78 facts
Love how informative and sequential it is
Well semiautomatic shotguns are finicky with lower velocity rounds, 14 inch shockwave is perfect for home protection because the longer the barrel the more power velocity you get. Kel Tec sub2000 9mm generation2 accepting glock mags is a very good option. But glock17 9mm is a very good choice.
Good suggestions Tony. And of course, nothing beats a well trained and proficient shooter.
I use bird shot in my 12 gauge for home defense. The odds I'm using the shotgun is a last resort, but the way my home is laid out my average shot, would be less than 20' so they're screwed unless theyre wearing body armor and from my personal experience, they're still not gonna be shooting back, the impact at 7 yards will blow them backwards if not off thier feet.
I use HP 223 55 gr, and HP 115 gr 9mm, for my intruder set up.
Your best defense is an alarm system. If nothing it gives you advanced notice of an intruder, and time to get armed and with training with your family, they know a plan of where to be and what to do if that alarm is going off. And I know where they are so when dad goes DARK, I know where to shoot and not. And where to place myself so bullets are not being fired in thier direction.
For my home defense always on me 500 s&w mag with a 550 grain 😛
And how is your arthritis nowadays?
I just went to the range like 2 times and I have been testing 4 different pistols Sig P365, HK full size, Glock 19, and Walter micro and surprisingly I felt most confident shooting the Sig than the other guns and that's including 22s but is probably because is a newer gun and had more technology on it but my friend told me that usually a full size is more easily to handle
Hello Mister Tony! I am kinda new with balistics, mostly researching, and I would like to know if choosing a heavier grain like a 147 g 9mm hollow point bullet reduce much the chances of over penetration then lets say a 124gr full metal jacket?
watching Lerch about home defense while playing Lerch on CODM zombies basically defending bases. I love your vids man great job
I tried to get my wife a firearm for the house. I got a Glock 43x shield mags all the good stuff. Just for my wife to claim my Glock 19. We have two kids and a house to protect. I rather her pick what she is comfortable with. But for the most most part my wife will have my Glock 19 and I’ll have my AK9 with my G43x always on my hip.
Great Information, thanks Tony!
I use the FCU XO1 chassis for my P320 (full size) as my PCC with an extended barrel
The best? It's a simple question. It's what you as an individual can afford. The most important thing, is to train with whatever you have. Good thing is, in today's market. There all all kinds of great options in everyone's price range. Everyone has the right to defend themselves and their loved ones from harm. Enjoy your videos sir.
PCC is what I'd prefer for my setting... What I also consider is what I feel comfortable being confiscated as evidence. Definitely won't be my primary. Something that might seem petty until it's 2, 3 6 months down the road.
That's why you have more than one!
"yes that's right officer 30 rounds with this hi point right here"
Very valid points made here. I teach firearms classes on occasion and retired from law enforcement as well, and people always ask, “what is the best firearm for home defense” and my response is always, “it depends”. Then these aspects and scenarios are explained.
Unrelated note, I saw your edc video and noticed you opt for the Glock 19 quite a bit and even the 17 for home like stated on this video. What are your thoughts on the Glock 45?
I’m either my Glock 45 MOS or my CZ P10F in .45…I have 13 plus 1 in .45 and I’m more accurate with that gun than some 9mms. Plus its slower for less penetration
Also a great option is an AR platform 300 blackout.
Los Angeles 📍🌎
Glock 19 (Factory Night Sights)
Olight PL-Mini 2
Federal Premium HST (147 grain)
When I was a member they never had anything on stock - even the pistols I wanted were frequently out of stock and it’s not like I buy a pistol each month
Thank you so much man, this has been an eye opening video, very educational.
What are your thoughts on .300 blackout. Not taking price, availability etc into the end factor. Just only worrying about if it is good for home defense or don't worry about it
The ONE you can get your hands on!!!
the thing people aren't aware off with 7.62 round as well it has more chance of over penatrating a wall as you said some houses aren't made of concrete or bricks
I second that of your opinions on 300 Blk Out and home defense?!
Very insightful I'll stick with my g43 or p227
Best sidearm is, these hands mf HELL YEA!!!
XD
Good discussion🤝🏿. For me draco ak9 pistol running 30rd glock mag or my g19x. Now if there is 3 or more intruders my ddm4 pdw pistol 300blk out.
Great video! Very informative
I do have some pistols a s&40cal and Taurus g3c 9mm and battle vest2 with level 3a plates
Badass man thanks for your content, it has really improve my knowledge.
My 300blk and 12ga is the bedside and home defense
Great opinion and insight on the subject. At the end if the day folks get behind your tools OFTEN and TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN AGAIN!!!!
I am in Canada, just paid 30% more for 9mm because its almost completely sold out in a city of a million people. If you can get it, buy it!
9mm carbine rifle with hollow points?
For me it's still an AR, but there's no one gun that fits everybody.
Would you recommend a 9mm carbine instead of an AR 15, especially in an apartment? How about a CZ Scorpion?
Great instruction I've been following your workout for a while but my question is what do you think about a revolver as a home defense
Need more shots for sure!
I thought 5.56/.223 had less over penetration because the round fragments when it hits drywall, whereas 9mm will stay in tact and over penetrate, same with hitting flesh..
True
Excellent video 👍 Thank you for making this video
I’ve always shot better with the 40 idk why. When I took my firearms class out of the 9 guns we shot, the 40 I kept the best groups. 9 idk why but I would always over anticipate what it should feel like. But I only own 9mm handguns bc I know it’s easy to find bullets and easy to find parts (Glock). But I had to train to stop over assuming what i originally thought it would feel like lol.
Great video and info.Thank you
Appreciate all the information.
I have a Glock 9, would the conversion kit work on my gun? Do you have to keep the kit on it at all times or can you just use it when you want to and then remove it when you are done, or once you put the kit on it stays like that forever?
I usually go with a pencil for home defense. But a pew pew doesn't seem like a bad option either .
Handgun rounds can over penetrate as well just to put that out there
they make frangible bullets for almost all common calibers like 9mm,.223 and etc. all of those calibers with frangible bullets would be good for home defense.
Thank you
What's your view on bullpup .556 platform's for home defense?
9mm overpenitrates as well. But i see where u comming from.
It has been proven many times that 223 will have less penetration than a 9mm or buckshot because the round fragments so readily.
The best firearm is the one you have at that time.
Amazing 🤩
Even here in Florida, most 2nd stories are made of wood. I only know of one builder that builds both floors out of brick (D.R. Horton).
What part of Florida? I’m SW Florida most houses are block exterior all around all the way up.
@@Schwifty1055 Pasco. About 50 miles North of Tampa. It was the same in Tampa though. We don't get hit with hurricanes as often though... well in Tampa we didn't, I'm not sure about here, only been here 8 months and this is much further east(inland).
Would the conversion kit be a good idea if you're on a tac team if money is an issue?
Thoughts on the M&P 15 22 for home defense?
Glock 21 for me, simply because I'm familar with it and don't have a Mossberg 590 yet.
awesome video very informative, stay safe God Bless
The best firearm for home defense is the one you get to first.
Get a Glock 21. That is what I use for this situation. No lack of capacity imo for a .45. Slower moving round better in a house. Glock 17 is excellent of course.
Any AR platform than shoots pistol rounds.
Hey brother good to see you make a video.
A very good video
Buckshot over penetration is insane, I'd say worse than 5.56, 00 buck will go through 6 sheets of drywall and 18" into a gel.
If its a group then higher fire power would be EXCELLENT. if a single person or 2 then any hand gun or shotgun would work..
9mm penetrates more than 5.56. There are countless videos illustrating this.
I was just thinking the same thing. Yes, it depends on weight and velocity, a lot. However, light grain 556 with a lot of velocity is going to explode on impact. No 9mm is going to do that, other than that light stuff made for planes. Of which, I’ve never seen for sale anywhere.
@@Turtl-ss4lj yes, pistol rounds are too slow to fragment like 5.56/.223. 55gr fmj fragment at home defense distances and the heavier .22 cal bullets are mostly open tip Match bullets that also fragment.
@@Turtl-ss4lj what is the round fragmenting on? Drywall? Wood? I only ask cause I've seen ball ammo go through 3/8 inch steel when you are too close and I don't have alot of experience/knowledge of frangible ammo
Yeah i caught that too. In the civilian world we are not limited to 193 or 855, we can use whatever rounds we like. A light varmint or other expanding 5.56/223 round will not go through as many walls as people think.
@@Venomxjjb M193 will tumble and fragment at full power velocities.
Don’t forget to put a light on your home defense gun!
300blk subs suppressed if possible.
Awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥
MPX 9mm
The level of basement dweller experts on this thread, picking apart minutia is amazing. Feels like the same dudes commenting on mma fighting/ techniques who did three months of beginner classes, then Dropped after the trial membership. Y’all need to chill. 😂 bought a pc charger after my wife asked for a home defense gun she could use effectively with training. Now I lean towards it as well cause it’s way faster/ confident target acquisition for me. (I’m not an expert) thanks for the content, good straightforward perspective to the majority of people searching this topic.
Hand + rifle is all you need.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I prefer the M2 Browning
Opinions on glock 45 9mm?
*** Glock 45 come standard with 17rnd mags. Just had to make that correction from the video
ak47 at home. 😂😂😂😂
What about 9mm ar in a 16inch?
Just wondering if he teach classes?
.223 AR is the best home defense round and gun, period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, you kind of look like that character from the COD game…
Do you even lift bro?
Get you an RPG and call it a day
The best home defense gun in the world is the one you have.
@14:40 "Put a red dot on it, squeeze the trigger and you don't really have to aim. It's pretty much a point and shoot platform." Come on man you are better than that, Shotguns still need to be aimed. Why bother with the red dot if you are not aiming?
Its an expression brother relax, its as simple as understanding that its a scatter gun, more room for error. Thats all
👍👍
No .300 blackout?
I keep a 10.5” 300 blackout in my truck
It has a lower velocity and explode on impacted
NEVER use bird shot!! Buck Shot Only...
