Default RE: Thoughts On Home Defense Weapons

ORIGINAL: longrifle1000

My wife has a 9mm, and I have a 1911 45acp that are kept in a small safe in our room. Both are loaded up with Gold Dot's, and am confident in the performance of both.


BigJ12- Sounds like you have a fine setup. My only quibble would be in the hydrashoks. I have tested several different HP over the years, and I was less than impressed with the HydraShoks. The hollow point seems to plug up with clothing way too often, resulting in little to no expansion. Here are a few that have proven to me to work well through clothing, and offer good expansion/penetration.

Corbon DPX
Speer Gold Dot
Winchester SXT

But that is just my personal preference. Good luck.
Thanks longrifle1000

I'll look into them, I'm not sold on the Hydra Shocks and I'm open to different brands.....I never heard that before about them...interesting.

Thanks for the post.
