Living In A Bizarro World
I’m close to switching over from my nightstand .45 ACP handgun (13+1 of 230gr Speer Gold Dots) to an AR15 for primary home defense.
I’m going to run a 16 inch M4 with an EoTech EXPS-2, Surefire x300 (1000 lumen) light, LWRC Skirmish BUIS, and a Vickers sling.
My biggest concern is the noise and concussion of an AR indoors. To those of you that count on the AR15 for home defense duty:
1) What muzzle device do you use? Most likely I’ll go with a flash hider, I’m not going to get a suppressor. Currently I have an LWRC enhanced flash hider on my home defense rifle.
2) Do you have hearing protection at the ready? What about for family members? It seems like a lot to worry about in the heat of the night. I’ve fired .45 ACP indoors and although not pleasurable, it is not intolerable like an AR is. I just grab it and go.
What’s your opinion? BTW - My first line of defense is a Cane Corso and German Shepherd tandem! Below is my current home defense set up.
