HUGE Dilemma

[MO_Soldier]

Also, to those long gun guys out there.

I'm DYING to get either an AR15, or a SCAR-L.
I have a Mossberg 500 that I have loaded with an Xtra full choke and 3" Mag turkey loads!
In time I will tac mod my existing shotgun, similar to the 930SPX, or I'll just buy something like that, depending on finances when that time comes!

This question isn't determining what weapon is best for home defense. Simply which kind of pistol to get. The one I get will only be carried in thicker clothing. Other than that, it will sit at home. That's why the question was posed that way.

Thanks for all of your overwhelming advice guys!

KEEP IT COMING!!

Well I wasn't going to go there. But i'll add my cliche now too. If attacked by more than 7+1 zombies...1911 owners are gonna be hiding behind 9mm owners.

Or just change magazines. Yes, I'm stirring the pot, why because I can.

Mo Soldier, I'm glad to hear you have a mossberg 500. They are great home defense shot guns. I have a 20 gauge (because of two back surgeries i can't handle the recoil of something bigger) and my husband has the 12 gauge. There is a choke point coming into our bedroom (and safe room) that we can really fill with lead.

Because of cost, have you considered buying a used gun? Maybe some others on the forum can give you information on how to buy a GOOD used pistol.
