home defense

I'd like to move my MPX-K to my bedside for home defense. I have a 320rx now in a little Vaultek tucked neatly in a sliding nightstand drawer. My constraints are: Wife doesn't want a big ugly safe in the room (think pottery barn magazine for bedroom layout) I have 6 year old son that is a...

I have a SS suppressor (awaiting paperwork/stamp) for a full-size .45 that I plan to use for home/ self defense. As a nightstand gun, is a suppressor an advantage as far as saving hearing in an indoor environment- or a liability as far as over-readiness/ overeager indication, etc.? Would it be a...

My wife and I each own a P365 for carry. We also keep them on our nightstands for home defense. However, things being what they are today we are looking into either a full-size handgun and/or a rifle for home defense. We are both retired in our late 60s on a limited income so we are looking for...

I have my p226 9mm loaded and ready in my gun vault for home defense along with an extra mag. My concern is my magazine springs. How often should I rotate my mags so they last?

I have two combo lock boxes. One I keep in the bedroom upstairs and it holds our main home defense pistol, a P226R 9mm with a Surefire tac light attached. Downstairs I keep this (pictured below). My wife and I have put in more hours of practice with this little monster and it's now our official...
