What the fuck is American Grit?
Is lt that the newspaper kids sold door-to-door back in the 60's? |

The best ones are the ones you can wrap your hot little hands around. The world's finest firearm in the safe or closet isn't worth a nickel.

The 870 is OK. You need a good high capacity 9mm like a G19 or G17. Where is the AR15 or AK? A small pistol for a hide out or a long range rifle depending on your circumstances. OP list is really poor.

Well I did learn not to bother reading anything from americangrit by opening this thread.

Even in Canada I can do better than any of those with a $200 SKS.

Why the 870 in 12 gauge...
but the Mossy in 20? If I had a Mossy in 12 and the Remy in 20... would that be worse? |

My picks: 16" AR K.I.S.S. carbine in 5.56/.223 with a light, sling and red dot. Duty size 9mm striker fired polymer pistol....I.E. your Glock 17/19, M&P 9, VP9, etc.... Reliable Pump or semi-auto shotgun........neither of which will be made by Mossberg or Remington. Benelli FTMFW And a small concealable 9mm like a Shield, G43, LC9s, etc.... |

1. Any firearm you are proficient with.
2. Mossberg 590A1 or Remington 870 3. Glock 17 or 19 4. HK USP Tactical 5. Refer to 1st. Rule |

Wrong...
the question is "what is the best gun for self defense" the answer is "the one you are wearing". For in that terrible moment, Everything else is irrelevant. |

How does a giraffe benefit self defense?
|

Absolute best, no other factors considered?
IMHO: 1) The gun you can shoot the best and most naturally with a light on it. 2) 10mm MP5 with a suppressor, a light, and a giggle switch. 3) MP5SDK with a light and a giggle switch 4) 8.5-10.5in suppressed Ar15 SBR in [your chosen centerfire cartridge] with a light. |

You wouldn't use a 12 gauge ? Lemme guess , 50 Barrett ? View Quote 1. AR in some flavor with a sling, optics, and light/nv 2. Handgun in popular caliber or 10mm. 3. PCC in configuration matching the above two. 4. Shotgun in case your plans involve opening a door to the hitlerverse. (Sometimes its the only way). |

Supressed SBR AR, I'll take mine in 300 blk
High capacity 9mm striker fired pistol (g19) Reliable SA 12 ga (benelli ftw) LR capable 30cal rifle, Larue/GAP etc While the shotgun is better for defense, I'd swap out for a 9mm subcompact/pocket gun |
