Pistols are meant to be used to get you safely to your rifle.

I wouldn't use a rifle in close quarters if I had access to a shotgun. However, I wouldn't use a pistol in close quarters if I had access to a rifle... provided the rifle is semi-auto and isn't some crazy long thing.

Then again, I wouldn't willingly step into a gunfight without backup... hence the cocking up the shotgun.

Thats just an expression meaning the pistol isn't meant for much of anything unless your bigger gun is messed up.

If you're talking HD as in "my bedroom/house defense" shotgun would be the best, I like 20gauge pump for that.

No if you're talking HD as in your HOMESTEAD/farm/ranch then rifle.

I would like to think that the days of defending the Homestead from the roof of your house are long gone, although my neighbour used to climb up on the roof of his with a 30-06 and shoot gophers.

I'm looking into getting a pistol for home protection, not wanting a rifle or anything just a pistol. Whats a good one and farely inexpensive? I was looking at Walther P99's and like the look but don't like the $800 price tag. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If it's strictly for home defense, the chances of you actually using it are slim so why spend alot? I say look for a used Ruger P95. I've seen them near $300.

Used Rugers or smith and wessons in 9mm are pretty cheap and extremely nice.

Revolvers are the best kind of pistol for HD in my opinion. No safeties and everyone can use one. Right now you can find .357/.38spcl used revolvers under $300 no problem, and they are bad ass and original.

Alright thanks a lot. I'll look into one of them.

I honestly didn't know so many people who didn't grow up with firearms in their homes.

I wish I could find a used S&W .38 for under 300.

Someone by me is selling a S&W 442-2 Airweight snubbie for around $325. Awesome little gun. I have a Model 10-5, I would get one if I were you, awesome wheel guns. You can find police trade ins online for around $250. My roommates dad had a Ruger Security Six in .357/38 and its amazing too. So many great ones!
