Home Protection Firearm

[j_h_smith]

I know everyone has a favorite firearm that they trust to protect their family and home. I recently thought about replacing the shotgun and handgun with something else. What do you think about a suppressed MP5 type firearm? I'm thinking it's almost the perfect home protection firearm anyone could ask for. Compact and easily maneuverable. Won't blind you with a large muzzle blast like the shotgun. Follow up shots will be easier than the shotgun. I will have 30 rounds available instead of 15 or less if I use a pistol. The suppressor will be better for everyone in the house. Knowing that it won't silence the 9mm, but it will make my ears ring less than anything unsuppressed.

What do you think?

Suppressor would be a plus! current pistol can't be suppressed

We’re not your wife. You don’t have to justify firearm purchases to us.

Haha. Nope, already own everything needed. Just looking for opinions.

BTW, I've got the best wife in the entire world, for many reasons. The wife has never said no to any purchase. Even when I came home with 5 Garands from an estate sale. We enjoy our firearms. As a matter of fact, her AR15 is the most expensive one we own.

Personally, I think a good handgun with a decent magazine capacity is the best way to go for home protection.
It allows for the greatest mobility in tight spaces, easy one handed operation, and is easily concealed in questionable encounters where showing the gun is counterproductive.
Just my $0.02

Just one? Is it on you at all times? And I would love to get me an MP 5 but can't see toting it with me at all times. I feel like they need to be stashed all over the house since I don't have one on me at all times and I don't know who will be where should an invasion occur. I also don't want multiple copies of the same firearm (though I'd be good with a P7 M10 and a P7 M13 to add to my collection) so it's something different in every hiding spot with no rhyme or reason as to what's where. And it was dark, all I saw was someone coming at me, oh, I need to talk to my lawyer first.

My standard answer to this type of question is: The best weapon for home defense is the one in your hand when you need it the most.

I keep a 94 in the nightstand and a AR w/ a binary trigger nearby.

If you catch me in the basement, you will meet Mr. John Garand's most famous invention. Or, maybe the SIG P320. Or, both.

Get the MP5 so I can live vicariously through you.
