If you ever had to pull the trigger in protection of you and yours, what would you use? Has to be a gun you actually own. Not just the reliability of the model itself, but also the one that's most comfortable in your hands, you shoot the best, and know the best when the stress degrades your learning and fine motor skills.

My rifle is my FAL para carbine. I can strip it in the dark, have the best mags marked and can aim it with my eyes closed. I have a home-built AR SBR in 300Blk and a JP15, but I would still reach for the FAL 1st.

Pistol is my XD40. I want to like my XD45 and FN45 better, but the XD40 just falls into my hands better.

What say you?

Those are two that come to mind for me, but I'd just as likely trust an HK handgun or another quality brand of ar15.

CZ75. I have shot it so much I know where it points for combat accuracy out to 40 yards. For rifles I would have to say my FTC Garand. It has never malfunctioned and is my favorite rifle to shoot.

I have alot of other choices but those are guaranteed to work protecting me and mine

Gotta go with this too.

G19 and an AR that I built with a RRA upper and an EoTech. Both guns just fit me, are instinctive for me to use, always go bang and have adequate capacity.

Home built 1911 and modified AR-15.

They are reliable, dependable, and very accurate. They're also among my first centerfire guns.

rifle?my yugo M92 PAP SBR. It just works with any ammo.

pistol? CZ 82, but my BUL Storm (CZ 75 clone) may pass it if it continues to work flawlessly.

These also just feel right when shooting.

Just about any gun will fire a few rounds and be accurate enough for some self defense scenario. The real trick is what would you take to WAR?

LMT MRP type for rifle, and as a 'pistol.'

For the real question of an actual sidearm... M&P 40 compact or M&P Shield 9.

The two center fire semi-autos in my bedroom are the SIG 556R and the CZ P09 9MM.

At night; or given some time (10 to 20 seconds) to prepare, those are the two guns.

Most of the time, on the road, day time hours out in the garage or yard, I have a CZ P07 in .40 S&W on me.

The 556R has never blipped. The P09 and P07 have never blipped.

Well, all I carried on 3 different deployments was a M16A2, one had the M203 which I hated. one plain jain with an aimpoint, and the other had rails and aimpoint with surefire light.

Soo guess what I built/assembled when I got out of the Army, a BCM govt. profile flat top A2 style rifle, with plain handguards (fuck quad rail) and detachable carry handle. Eventually i'll get a red dot for it. As far as handgun, never had to use one in self defense. But I CCW a Glock 30s, so I guess that means I trust my life to it. Though I don't shoot it nearly as accurately as my 1911 Range Officer, the lighter weight and added capacity is what caused the switch for CCW, as well as no thumb safety. Sooo so long as I never have to try to defend myself with accurate shots out to 25yards, I'm happy. God forbid whatever senario that would happen, but I would really miss the 1911 then as I can still drill a target all day at that range with it. But in all reality if a threat is that far away, I can likely take cover and either close the gap or get more distance between the threat and myself.

P.S. I also CCW a Ruger LCP and large CRKT M16 tanto style knife when I'm at work. Never be unarmed.

I love my AR15 build, but to answer your question regarding defense of self and family:

1. Glock G22 full size 40 S&W with Trijicon tritium night sights, loaded with Barnes TAC-X to confront surprise and get me to #2.

2. 12 gauge tactical Remington 1100 shotgun with rifle sights, red dot sight, tape switch activated weapon light, extended mag tube and side saddle shell holder, both stuffed full of Federal Premium Flite Control 9 pellet 00 buckshot.

glock 19 a 10.5" lmt sbr are what stay beside the bed along with electronic ear pro

That said it wouldn't bother me to grab anything i own....... I don't keep guns that don't really run hard / proven.

Posted: 11/21/2015 7:36:29 AM EDT

[#37]

Which you trust the most?

Of the rifles I own I would pick my

Sig 516
CMMG piston AR
POF AR15
DSA OSW (Para FAL)
Izhmash AK47
SLR 95 (AK47)

If I had to pick one small cal rifle it would be my Sig516
If I had to pick one large cal rifle it would be my DSA OSW
But it would really depend on the scenario.

Of the Pistols I own I would pick my
Glock 17

14.5" BCM and a tie between my M&P 9 and Hi Power.

Posted: 11/23/2015 3:05:25 PM EDT

At the moment? my Noveske mid length and GP-100 revolver.

My current CCW though is a Steyr M9 and my bedside gun is a home build 14.5 carbine on a Seekins lower. I use the Steyr because it is light and has excellent capacity and I use the home build because it has a flash hider not a brake like the Noveske. That thing launches double fireballs in daylight. I have never shot it indoors, much less at night but I imagine it might look a bit like this.

Several of each I trust.
