12 Reasons Carbines Are The Most Underrated Property Defense Firearm (slide show) |
2024-04-12 |
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. |
