Well when it comes to personal defense, a handgun is most likely to be the weapon of default, even when I wore a badge, that long-arm was usually locked away in the vehicles weapon rack.

I was a fair marksman with standard service revolvers, Colt's S&W Ruger, then auto-loaders such as the 1911, the BHP, and much later the Glock models 17 and 19....

Good quality handguns of many brands are acceptable for personal defense, however I prefer to stick to certain models within My limited sphere of experience.

For defense in the home and when I'm out, I have the Glock 19 ready to go. I have no way of concealing/securing my AR-15 yet still have it quickly accessible, so just the handgun for now. However, if I find a Commander length 1911 for the right price I may just switch to that.

Rock Island arms has basic models starting in the less than $ 400 category.

I use a Glock 26 and Beretta Tomcat for concealed carry.
I can shoot the Glock very accurately whether standing, kneeling or moving while shooting.

What am I defending?
Against what?
Am I in a structure, a vehicle, or on foot?
Is it urban or wooded?
Can I open carry or does it need to remain concealed?
Why does this poll ask for "handgun preference" and then list AR's and shotguns, two nominal long-arms?

Well deffence aint a word. Can these be converted to full auto if I have the license?

My pole is the genuine article, licensed to conceive.

I couldn't help but notice that akimbo desert eagles wasn't on your list...

Actually, I prefer a revolver.

BigDanS

Although I voted Glock because I occaissionally carry one, I carry a Makarov. Your poll might be better if it had an option for "other".

They are handguns
Shotguns: Taurus Judge 410 revolver
AR: AR-24 9mm

SirGeorgeKillian

I was going to say AR and shotgun. That is until you said that. I prefer long gun over pistol anyday, but in this case a Glock or 1911 will work just fine. Nothing against the others, just what I am familiar and proficient with.

The Judge is not a shotgun I don't care how you look at it.

Retraction! Retraction! Is it too late for a retraction!? With the above statement, let me retract my earlier statement and simply say, "Alex, you tricky little devil. I'll take the Glock and 1911. You can keep those other two.

Jack Burton

I chose glock because the M&P (was definitely not a fan of the Sigma) & XD's weren't around at the time, and I couldn't afford a decent (let alone good) 1911.

A revolver ain't a shotgun, and the AR24 ain't an AR, but a rebadged Turkish rework of a CZ-75.

I have a pole in the house---it's Clean the :queen:

The judge is technically a shotgun because it fires shot-shells and is chambered for a 410 shotgun round, just because its a revolver doesn't mean it isn't also a shotgun. And I never specified that the AR was a carbine just called it an AR.

Bigslug

Is a claymore antipersonnel mine technically a shotgun? If so, that gets my vote for mounting on de-fence.

Oh, I'm sorry. When I see "AR" I think of the common definition of an AR, not some manufacturer's moniker for a variant of a more common pistol.
As for the .410, I wouldn't use that on a pheasant, much less a human.

I actually got shot with a .410 when I was 16...perfect center of mass in the back at about 50 yards. My buddy swung on a late flushing bird and didn't realize I was in the line of sight. Damned lucky. I was pretty pissed. It went thru a field jacket, liner, flannel shirt, and long john shirt. My girlfried had a helluva time picking all the shot out of my back.

Jayhawker

Can't really vote...depends on the circumstances.... the handgun you will find on my person most often is a 1911, sometimes an XD45 other times a G36...and I have been known to carry a single action revolver on occasion.

I trust you were shot with an actual shotgun and not a revolver masquerading as one....yes?
