Home defence .223/5.56 question

[theforge]

Handgun might be your best bet. Not just for considerations already mentioned but also your hearing. Firing an unsupressed rifle inside a small room without ear pro is not gonna be a good experience.

Remington V-Tac13: Guaranteed to make an uninvited guest leave your house in a hurry. NOT an NFA-class firearm...

I hate blemington. I used to have a mossberg Shockwave. I wasn't a fan of the birds head grip. I much prefer the winchester 1897. Or even the modern SXP

I wasn't a fan of the birdshead grip.

Would have still been a legal weapon had you replaced the OEM grip with a "protruding pistol grip." But be advised that the "protruding pistol grip" has the power to take control of an otherwise law-abiding man's mind and cause him to commit heinous crimes. It's true, so don't scoff. Joy Behar said so-- so you can take it to the bank...

I've always wanted to SBS a Shockwave. Putting a normal pistol gripped 590 stock on it.

You still can. Florida allows NFA items.

I would say yes because it probably has good expansion and less of a chance of over penetration being that it's a 40 grain bullet

I don't know about 223, I have a suppressed 300BLK for my main home defense. Less power than the 223 but would still be able be able to hear if needed follow up shots..

I think I'm team shotgun on this one.

I just saw 4 boxes of these in bass pro shops and everything else was literally gone. Would this be a decent home defence option? I live in an upstairs apartment and have to worry about over penetration and the maximum range I would engage at in my apartment would be about 10 feet or less. I bought a box just because they had it. Ammo is ammo right now. Anyways, I'm not trying to start anything here. Just an honest question and looking for an honest opinion. (Edit) Just realized I spelled defense wrong lol

I think the best home defense is a shotgun. Universal sound and easier to hit the target
