12 Reasons Carbines Are The Most Underrated Property Defense Firearm (slide show) |
2024-04-12 |
[Bodycams] When it comes to defending your home and property, the first options that usually come to mind are handguns and shotguns. But there’s a highly effective yet often overlooked contender: the carbine. Offering a unique blend of firepower, precision, and versatility, carbines stand out as an exceptional choice for those seeking to bolster their defensive capabilities in unexpected and highly efficient ways. Carbines bridge the gap between the raw power of rifles and the close-quarters convenience of handguns, presenting a solution that combines the best of both worlds. With their compact size, they maneuver seamlessly through the tight corners of a home, while their accuracy and range give you an edge over intruders from a distance. This blend of attributes makes carbines not just a practical choice for home defense but a formidable one, challenging the traditional norms and offering a sophisticated yet accessible means to protect what matters most. |

#10 I have never fired one in anger or even a peevish moment, but an M-1 carbine with a walnut stock is just the prettiest little thing ever. |

#8 30-30 lever guns are quite usable, and don't have the over-penetration issues of most 30 cal rifles. |

#6 My US Army Dad (Nam 3 tours) refered to the initially fielded AR-15 as a Jammin Jenny. |

#3 I have been biased against carbines since Vietnam. I was issued and carried a CAR-15 so-called 'commando', aka XM177(maybe E1, I forget). Basically a single shot, sometimes two-shot LOUD short barreled almost-M16. Highly unreliable. No forward assist. Did I say LOUD? After a few months I was able to swap it out for an XM16, a huge improvement while not perfect, was good enough. I really ought to get over it and look at the current carbines. |

#2 I still like my Remminton Model 870 12ga. Loaded with custom loaded rounds made with 5/8" finnishing nails. The 50 yrds for these custom loaded rds vs. 250+ yrds for rifle rds is safer in a typlical subdivision. |
