The Right Setup for Your Home
Choosing a home defense firearm isn't about what looks cool or what your neighbor swears by. It's about what fits your house and your experience.

Home Defense, Answered
Handgun or shotgun?
There is no universal answer. Anyone who tells you that there is, hasn't thought it through.
What caliber for home defense?
Anything from 9mm to 12-gauge can work. What matters more is shot placement, capacity, and how well you handle the recoil.
What about ammunition?
Defensive ammunition is different from range ammunition. We'll explain the difference and recommend proven options.
Do I need a light or sights?
A weapon-mounted light is one of the most underrated home-defense upgrades. We'll talk about whether it makes sense for you.
