I forgot to mention to specify caliber/platform. (just to see what the thought processes are out there for a non-shotty HD platform)

 

For my .02

 

I went to my AR in 6.5 Grendel (under the proverbial bed) for 5 weeks til I got my S12 back.

/me walks over to the safe and looks over a few pistols, a couple of ARs and a small host of other more traditional rifles/carbines.

My SA XD9 is always loaded and available, and one AR is sitting out with loaded mags at hand.

I guess it actually depends on what room I,m in or what floor I,m on. Various weapon safes located throught the house. I like to keep my options open. However my 45xd is usually close by. ( Not the blown up one )

A pair of homebuilt AKs and a pair of Glocks and two sets of body armor, for my Gal and I. We know our house and have rehearsed tactics for solo and as a pair.

Here's the scenario , you have a S12 thats out for warranty work/PG conversion. You now are in need of a backup weapon for home defense. What is your goto gun now assuming the S12 was the primary?

I am now in fact in that exact situation. My backup is my Glock 30, (sub-compact .45 ACP, 10 round mag, loaded with hollowpoints, of course). Imo, the .45 ACP is the perfect pistol round.

Just a quick tally for those joining us... AK (assuming in 7.62 x 39) and .45 ACP pistols are the most common solutions.

Ahh its one of mine... I kind got worried of selling it, seemed like something I could get sued for.

 

I have a few that I mess around with.

 

It lets the gun move back and forth while the stock and Pistol grip stay still. You hold your trigger finger still and push forward with your supporting hand and it bumpfires.

 

Simple yet fairly effective.

Glock 30 also and my Glock 21. Worst case scenario, the Wiselite AK pistol.

That would be this guy. He's actually before the S-12, just like in the photo. ;)

I guess if the S-12 was "in the shop"...and Max was busy with the other perp, it would be the other S-12 nearby, or the Glock....or the chainsaw...lol...

If my S12 is out of commission, then i'll use my other S12, if that one's down, my S-x39, if that one's down, my S-308v21, if that one's down my S-30.06, if that's down, my Colt Mustang .380... if that's also down... uh.... Why the fuck would all those be down at the same time!?

 

Fuck that. My S12 is never down.
