Although their choices seemed odd or flowed very strangely, I do find it astounding the Article was done at all.

traveller · Apr 14, 2015

More of a '21 guns I like' article. Some real oddballs in there.

protegeV · Apr 14, 2015

Didn't read the article. Why would you need 21 guns for HD? :lol2:

Sev · Apr 14, 2015

good range of guns in that.

The only one that confused me was the S&W Model 41. 22lr for a "home defense" weapon?

lol wut

Biff_N · Apr 14, 2015

I was not surprised to see the AR-15 listed but notably missing was a 12 gauge shotgun and a 1911.

They neglected my night stand favorite, the S&W 10. No wheelguns at all.

If it's all you have. Many better choices for HD at less than half the price.

No shotgun surprised me the most.

#4 is a .22? Another bs article.

I think the Times just likes to pretend they are gun guys to piss off Post readers.

Silverlode · Apr 14, 2015

I expected to see an AR and 20 shotguns.

Doctor_M · Apr 15, 2015

In addition to no shotguns, not a single revolver. I think I'll take a sturdy .357 or 12 ga over a .22 any day.

Objee · Apr 15, 2015

Ability to conceal and limited magazine size should never be a concern with a home defense weapon.

Seriously, if you are considering a S&W 9mm pistol for HD, why would anyone choose a compact M&P Shield (8+1) over a full size 5906 (15+1)?

Odd choices in this group indeed, no 12g short barrel shotguns (my choice) listed at all.

IgotAgun · Apr 15, 2015

I would not use my CCW gun for home defense. It would either be my AR or a full size gun preferably one that has a light attachment. Also, whats that weird sight on the Tavor???

Haven't read the article, but no .22 lr should ever be on a HD list, unless you don't value your life. I'd add a Colt King Cobra .357 4" wheel gun and a Weatherby Grim Reaper 12 gauge, 18.5" to the list. I also like a Quality Hardware M1 Carbine and a Colt AR-15 16" as backups and for the longer shots.

Ditto. I advised an individual a few months ago about choosing a HD piece. He was concerned about recoil if his wife ever had to use it. Told him to go with a .40 caliber or larger and to get her to the range and shoot one so she'd know what to expect.

Better a sore wrist than a wounded perp trying to take out the wife.

Where can I get myself one of those CZ75 select fire pistols?

Hit and Run · Apr 15, 2015

Way to many guns that would be better suited for concealed carry as primary use vice home defense. Also, as others have mentioned no revolvers. I think that is a good choice for a novice shooter in terms of reliability and simplicity. Same with a simple pump action shotgun.

Impressed they did article, not impressed with limited category of guns and I think they missed the mark on number of pistols with a more primary purpose of concealed carry.

Yup. This article appears to be written by a 14-year-old who got a subscription to "Guns and Ammo" for his birthday. They need to retract this "article" and rename it, "21 Really Cool Guns I Like".

.

This is not an article. Just cut&paste adcopy from some catalog. Some of the guns aren't even on the market.
It is called click-bait and is designed to create display opportunities for their advertising network.
