[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1866021, member: 1132"] And what qualifications to you possess to make such a statement? Please enlighten us. This. If choosing a long gun, I'd much rather have an AR with low recoil and high capacity, that can be effectively fired with one hand if it became necessary. A high velocity rifle round has excellent terminal effect and is much easier to handle and fire rapidly than a shotgun for all but the most skilled shooters. With the correct ammo (i.e., Hornady TAP), there's much less chance of overpenetration and risk to others than with either shotgun or handgun rounds. I still rely primarily on a handgun for HD, specifically for greater mobility. I don't have kids in the house and where I live, overpenetration isnt a great concern. That said, I've trained to a high level with a handgun. If my skills were less with a pistol, I'd readily opt for the AR as primary. Here's my HD setup: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i151.photobucket.com_albums_s157_Glocktogo_DSC_1157.jpg[/IMG] Glock 21 SF with night sights, Surefire X300 with DG switch and 17+1 capacity. Ammo is issued 230gr Gold Dot. [/QUOTE]
