Setting Up a Home Defense Pistol

When planning out home defense, the firearm is treated as the last line of defense. It is critical that you develop a good home defense plan first and foremost.

• Flashlight
  • I like the L3 Insight Pistol mounted flashlight because it takes AA batteries that are regularly available compared to the CR123 batteries.
  • There is also a model with a laser sight that mounts directly below the bore
• Extended Magazine
  • 33 rounds of 9mm or 22 rounds of .40 Smith and Wesson
  • Extra weight helps control muzzle rise during rapid fire.
  • Stick with the Glock brand magazines, the KCI and Scherer magazines are junk.
  • The reason for the extended magazine is simply that bad guys often travel in packs and it saves you time reloading if you are caught off guard.
• Hollowpoint ammunition
  • Hornady Critical Defense
  • Corbon DPX
  • Federal Premium
• Night Sights
  • Trijicons are solid night sights.
• The same concepts apply to other pistols as well.
• You can put a KRISS magazine on a Glock 21
• You can install night sights on any pistol
• The vast majority of modern handguns are equipped with a rail to mount a flashlight.
