| Which Gun for the Homestead ? |

Guns are just another tool. Each one has a different use.
The following are my preferences...
The following are my preferences...
For home defense, you should have a handgun that you can get to easily. But
also, many crimes are stopped because of the "intimidation factor", so I
would prefer to pull out something that can put a stop to things before
they really start. I keep a 12 gauge Mossberg Intimidator on hand for just
that reason. The red "dot" from the laser site makes short order of any
debate, and this gun would stop man or beast in any emergency situation.
Now what about a hunting rifle? I have one I’ve gotten so used to over the
years, it fits me like that old pair of blue jeans that I refuse to throw
away. Now call me old fashioned, and I'll gladly admit it, but my
preference for hunting is still my old lever action Winchester 30-30. It
has stopping power, it’s lightweight and easy to shoot, and it has proven
extremely reliable for many years.
And now on to handguns....
In the wild, where you may encounter big cats, bear, or other large
animals, I carry a 4x44. (Smith and Wesson 44 magnum with a 4 inch
barrel.) It is a very powerful gun, yet still small enough to carry as a side
arm, or tuck into a waist band when needed.
But back in civilization? Where you may also run into two-legged
predators........
A handgun and a pocket gun are not always the same thing.
My preference for a "handgun" is the 9mm Beretta (Model 92FS) with an
extended magazine. This gun has shown itself to be valuable in many police
and military situations. It is a medium weight piece that has almost no kick,
and the high capacity magazine allows for those times when extra rounds
are needed. My preferred bullets for this gun are 124 grain hollowpoint
"Hydra-Shok" made by Federal.
But..."What is the best pocket gun?"
If you're looking for the perfect "pocket gun" you can't go wrong with a
.38 Special Smith & Wesson Centennial (640). It's rated for +p+ loads,
and is small and lightweight. It also has a concealed hammer which
prevents it from getting hung up in a pocket, purse, or jacket. I load this
with Winchester 95 grain "Silvertip" hollowpoints because of their proven
stopping power. For those states that allow concealed carry, it works well
with an inside the belt Bianchi holster, and is a powerful yet comfortable
piece to carry.
