It's a custom upper in 6x45, built for me by Teppu Jutsu, on a DPMS lower with a RRA 2 stage match trigger. That was really built for doe culling and predator hunting and works a treat, although I don't use it when I'm hunting trophy size deer as I don't feel like it has enough horsepower. I've got other AR's in 5.7x28, .223 and .50 Beowulf, plus a couple of SU16's and a mini 14 in .223.
Very impressive JMC. Your Springfield recommendation was echoed by several others who pm'd me. I will certainly look at this handgun closely. MJ

Justacommeman, You obviously know more about PM's than I might ever, so it's cool to see you reach out to the board and gather info about something related that you don't have much knowledge about. I'm glad that we all got to read the replies to this thread. It's great that you went out and took the class and enjoyed it. Great ending. I hope for you and for all of us, that we will never have to draw or fire our weapons at people.
And for anyone that does not get the opportunity to practice too often.. Don't be overly swayed into doing any trigger jobs on your self-defense handgun. Lighter triggers are not going to make much difference in your accuracy in a home invasion situation. Your adrenalin will be in overdrive already. The factory trigger weight may save you from an accidental discharge.
Just comman Go out and get a Benelli m4 and be done. Sometimes they are a little scarce but All the parts are available on gunbroker and one of lads around here can assemble it for you.
$1500 for an M4?? Wow you guys have a lot more money to burn then I do! I'll take my $150 generic pump 12 gauge shorty.....hard to justify $1500 for a shotgun to sit by the nightstand! But cool looking none the less

I've always been happy with my sig 226. It's strictly for home protection. I bought a decent trigger lock for it because of the kids and keep it stashed within easy reach.
Smith and Wesson Model 629 .44 magnum, Beretta 92FS 9mm, and Bersa and Beretta .22 cal.
6 (+1 speedloader of 6), 15 (x2), 10 (x3), and 7 shots respectively. Lots of different ammo choices including regular jacketed, hollowpoint, hydrashock, subsonic, fragmenting, etc.
A 40 cal. Ruger P94 with Hogue grips. A great gun to shoot. (As are many of the others on this tread.) Copper, silver and gold to keep the post on topic.

Urgh, this is the gun and grip setup that got stolen out of my car a long time ago. Window smash, a piddly little cd case gone as that was the break bait, trunk open, this pistol with 2 full clips of Black Rhino casualty.
Hap a P90 .45 before that, loved the 94 though to shoot.

Oh, that was your car........ had I known I wouldn't have sold it to Mesquite
Black Rhino? They actually made that ammunition? I remember their whole 20/20 armor piercing controlled expansion garbage until people figured out that the bullet was actually a ball, Winchester round that was lathed, filled with #12 shot and capped off with a polymer. Never heard much after that, I bet a box of ammo goes for big bucks to collectors?

You sure you don't mean Black Talon? >>
Might have been talon, was the 'armor piercing' stuff that got banned in GA and I had a couple boxes that I used for defense clips/rounds. This was 15 years ago so rhino/talon/whatever it was.

That's great, but Dude, ain't no such thing as an exTexas ...... anything! That's like calling an inactive Marine an exMarine - you just don't do it.

You might check pawn shops. I went to my local the other day he was wall to wall with gun inventory.
Hard times folks sell/pawn all things of value.
I have a pistol in the house, but I wonder about some of you. Oh. my handgun? An 1851 .36 caliber Navy Colt

Thanks for that
I bought my first gun after living through the LA riots.
I'd rather have a gun and never need it than need a gun and not have one.

Isn't the duct tape a little hard on the finish of the gun
