It’s always fun to respond to stats.

shotgun choke home defense

Some would say you want as open as possible to scatter and increase chances of hitting and damage done. Others would say you want a tight choke to manage spread over distance and ensure all pellets hit the intended target (and some don’t stray to hit unintended targets). Me? I’ll take a tighter choke because my home defense situation could go up to 25 yards so I need to mind the spread. I don’t want any pellet to not hit the intended target. And I’d like to increase my chances of the shot going where I want it to go, not being spread about in non-vital areas.

Some articles on choke and spread: here and here.

Bottom line however is it’s not as simple as the choke. It’s the shotgun itself, it’s the choke, it’s the ammo, it’s the skill of the shooter, it’s the conditions it may need to be shot under. There are a lot of factors. You should figure them out and know them. Take the shotgun to the range, take different ammo, take all the chokes, try it at different distances and see how it all performs. There’s no simple formula, you have to do the work.

is a ruger sr-22 an assault

I assume “rifle” or “weapon” was lopped off the search string. Is it? Depends who you ask. Ask Paul Helmke, yes it is. Ask me? Nope.

iron sights vs optic for home defence

Whichever works best for you, your abilities, your conditions of operation. The key is to be able to hit your target and have a reliable system. If your optics run on batteries, are you sure they are fresh and working so when the fur suddenly flies the optics will be functional? This is one reason I’d prefer an Aimpoint, because they have incredible battery life. Turn it on, leave it on always, change the batteries once a year.

what is the best automatic rifle

The one I use, of course.

For those that don’t know the joke, ask someone what the best of anything is, and the answer will be whatever I use/choose. It’s a bit of a biased or loaded question, because I’m not going to use or do anything that is the worst, right? So naturally all my choices are the best. Or maybe this isn’t that widespread of a joke… I know it’s one in the martial arts world: what’s the best martial art? Why the one I study, of course!

Hey, I just updated that posting.

is hornaday a good ammo

No, but Hornady is.

9mm handguns for women

They all come in pink and have lacy frills.

Folks there’s no such thing as a gun for a gender. There are things as guns based upon the size of a person’s hands, the strength of a person, and so on… but these things are gender independent.

is snubnose enough

For what?

what does the acronyms, acp,+p,fps means

ACP – Automatic Colt Pistol

FPS – feet per second

+P isn’t an acronym. It means the ammunition was loaded to “above standard pressure” levels, typically 10% higher but maybe, maybe not. Here’s an article.
