What are your favorite guns for someone who is not a big gun enthusiast but is passionate about self defense?

Like, you aren't optimizing for a zombie apocalypse but you want your wife to be able to pick up the gun and defend the house from intruders if need be, and the gun's maintenance levels have been maybe questionable but it's reliable enough to still probably work reliably and she can wield it.

38 special revolver. Simple and reliable.

The Governor is a pistol that shoots .410 gauge shot shells. Perfect home defense

Am former SWATie and military. I gifted .380s to wifey and daughter in law. You’d do fine with most of the larger brands but look for something compact and concealable that fits your hand.

I built my own, just a little guy, but it was fun to bring crafting and self defense together lol. I think whatever you choose, try and see if you can build it, and take the conceal carry class, it’s worth it.

A simple Sig 226 if you have a carry license and a .223 CQBR configuration for home defense.

Not sure you'd want much of an action if it isn't maintained.

Better off just maintaining & cleaning the damned things properly so you have faster stuff that feeds properly.

Action There are two modes of gun action. First there are those in which the user must ready the gun from one shot to the next (lever action, pump action, revolvers and more) Second are those in which the gun readies itself (semi-automatic) For a smaller, less-trained user (like a woman or child) I...

TO EVERYONE WHO RECOMMENDED A SHOTGUN: you're wrong and you don't know what you are talking about. Out of every tool available that is by far the worst choice. Too much recoil, low capacity, low armor penetration but too much wall penetration. There is no advantage to a shotgun - none. A poor m...
