For non-exp people who may not have the will to fire, I suggest a baseball bat.

Revolver is maybe a good choice in 38 or 22 WM, since WM makes a nice sound, or a 20g shotgun. In most cases firing just one shot may resolve the situation regardless if it hits. But have heard cases of assailants firing wildly in retreat, so duck & cover afterwards.

Not everyone has enough strength to swing a bat to matter, though. It's not that simple. I agree some form of self-defense is better than zero.

Also random tip I have heard which is smart is put a sock/womans stocking on top of your bat. If you swing or miss and they catch the bat you can slide out and re-attempt

Any physical weapon such as a bat can be taken away from you and used against you in a fight.

A firearm allows you to keep a safe distance.

Looks like I will finally pull the trigger on a Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical

Pathetic.

I carried a GLOCK 22 for over 20 years of service after my S&W. When I retired I bought one for my personal use. I'm a big fan. RIP Gaston.

I'll accept it!

Picked up my Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical. Coming from a 1301 Tactical, I can feel the 1 lb weight difference. The 940 feels front heavy. Planning to break her in on Sunday. If I like it enough, let the modding begin!

[Donatello.]

Of course, I have mods on the way for the 940 LOL.

Still looking for a complete AR-9 pistol upper & PDW AR brace for a build I have in mind

I got my fiancee a Glock 19. I won't post a pic cause we all know what a Glock 19 looks like.
I bought myself a Sig 365

Attaboy. Nice.

I pack a 365X Romeo daily - best carry gun I have ever packed. But SHOT Show is in 3 weeks, so I'm sure I will see the "next best thing" and be out another fist full of dollars soon!

Tisas announced three 2011 clones. Street price should be decent.

I've been looking for a used PX-9 Night Stalker Tactical so glad to see they are making a 2011 variety too

I bought myself the 940 & already bought a gun in 2024...an old SxS shotgun that I will cut down & display.

For Xmass I grabbed a 450 upper: https://tromix.com/product/450-bushm...-right-handed/ fully upgraded w/ tank brake.

Everyone says go Tromix vs. well everything else in 450. Best accuracy, quality, less(none) FTE FTF if using the right mags.

I added this scope: https://www.sigsauer.com/tango-msr-lpvo-1-10x28mm.html <--reviews are good and I can't justify or need a better scope at the short distances of 450. I don't need a 1-10x a 1x6 for 450 is probably fine for 450 but I can use this on another rifle in theory in the future. I wanted an eotech vudu lpvo but they are double to triple the money vs the sig.

Now I can take my AR out hunting for white tail. In NE we don't get shots past 100-150 usually so this should be fine.

I was thinking of a red dot and magnifier but settled on a scope.

fiancé got me an AK-47 for my bday! I have to assemble it though...

[Donatello.]

The Mesa Urbino stock I got for the 940 came with an out of spec tube causing the plunger to get stuck & I had to whack the charging handle with something to break it loose. Sent in for exchange. Hope the new one is good.

Also ordered the OR3Gun plunger. Maybe that will allow the gun to cycle lighter loads reliably. If not, no biggie as I have Federal slugs that it loves
