Best handgun for home protection?

[johnnymac46]

I know this thread is extremely old but here is my .02 cents

Sig Sauer is the way to go IMO I have a P226 for work and a for a personal weapon at home. I have put over 3000 rounds through my personal wep and had one jam, and that was because i didnt clean it for over 1000 rounds.

My work gun is a whole different story i have put more rounds though it than i can possibly count. Close to a 1000 a week for 2-3 months a year, for the last 3 years. I wipe it down every day but only punch the barrel once a week and solvent clean it when i put it away at the end of the month. if you throw a 20 round Mag and no one is going to get through you.

We carry 9mm overseas and if it will stop a terrorist it will stop anyone who breaks into my house.

I also have the P239 it works on the same level as the 226 i would recommend a Sig to anyone looking to get a weapon for recreation or protection. .40 has a lot of stopping power and you have the luxury of more rounds than .45.

I have personally seen a 9mm round go through 3 2x4's and a 4x4 before flying off into infinity so any slug will rip through a house.

Again just my .02 cents
