Curious...what size magazine do you guys have in a home defense rifle?
Theres more options for capacity for a rifle than there is for shotgun/pistol (in general), so what do yall keep in the gun?

Only folks that normally need 30 shots to get one hit are Gang Members and LEOs. I think you should be okay with a 10 rounder. Plus if you shoot 30 rounds from an AR inside. You may be blind and deaf when its all over. :gun1::gun2:

I am not real crazy about ARs for home protection personally. I prefer pistol or scatter gun.

I don't know how many rounds the homeowner in B.A. fired a couple years ago when he took out the trio of home invaders that came in on him during the middle of the day, but I would bet my shorts he wasn't thinking to himself, "Man, this 30-round magazine is too big and unwieldy, I should have gone with 10-rounders."
