My Top 5 Home Defense Handguns In 9mm

Top 5 9mm Home Defense Handguns
uscca.com/colionnoir
When it comes to the gun I keep next to my bed for home defense, there are a few key things I'm looking for.
Reliability, shoot-ability, capacity, accessory modularity, and nightstand appeal, which is a fancy way of saying, look good on my nightstand.
I'm tactically vain; sue me.
For the past few months, I've contemplated moving to a 9mm for home defense mainly for capacity, but I'll address why in detail in another video.
Here are the top 5 9mm handguns I'm considering for my bedside home defense gun.
However, as important as the type of gun is when it comes to home defense, it's also about the training and ensuring you're prepared.
That's why I'm a USCCA member.
It's an easy way to cover all my bases if I ever had to use my gun in self-defense.
I could find myself in a costly legal case to prove that me using my gun was justified.
The beautiful thing about a USCCA membership is that you don't just get self-defense insurance; you also get access to their treasure trove of education and training programs.

Sadly, non of them are compliant to my state's depleted list of life saving and home defending tools. You can probably guess what state that is.

I look forward to the day I'm able to be a fully compliant and responsible owner of any one or all on this list of beautifully machined tools. Don't move to California if you're an aspiring collector of such wonderful displays of manufacturing perfection. Safety above all, and happy shooting to you all!

[@pauld5641]

My favorite handgun I love to carry and shoot is the Beretta PX4 9mm Storm Compact. 15+1, DA/SA, with the rotating barrel with iron sights, getting back on target is exceptional with very little muzzle flip. 50 cent coin groups at 25 yards.

[@DCmac]

i use my M&P compact 4" for edc and home defense. love the fact that i can throw in a 15 rd mag and carry it everywhere, then swap in the 17 rd mag to have it by my bedside. i also have an MCK for it which always has an extra 30 rd mag in it ready to go.

[@KaosSquirrel666]

I too carry my M2.0 4" for edc and home defense. Look into floyds custom magwell with their +2 flush baseplates. The magwell give a great grip and the baseplates allow you to turn the stock 15 rd mags into 17 rds without sacrificing concealabilitly.

Great trigger and is the flattest firing, lowest felt recoil pistol I’ve ever shot. I haven’t shot everything of course but if there is a pistol that out performs it in those areas it’s not by much.

[@Goldenwithaleash]

For me, it’s my Gen 4 Glock 17 that has been cut for a Holosun 508T and front cocking serrations. Professional stipple and undercut job. ZEV duty trigger. Suppressor heigh night sights. Streamlight TRL1HL. It’s not my fanciest or most expensive handgun but I have thousands or rounds in training classes, practice, and competition through it so it’s what I’m most comfortable with and trust. With the +2 baseplate, I get 20 rounds of 124gr +P HST. Before all the work, it was my duty gun so there is a little sentimental value there too.

[@dougbrowne9890]

I have used the Browning Hi-Power for over 20 years. It is the only pistol I will use. I have Acromegaly, which has deformed my hands a great deal. Also, it has caused arthritis and carpal tunnel in both hands. This makes many modern pistons difficult for me to use, because of the grips they come with. All that said, the Browning has always fit my hand like a glove. I like the single action of it. Only drawback is the magazine safety. That is something I guess I am just too stubborn to worry about, based on all the pluses with the pistol.

Within a hour of shooting it the first time, you get so use to engaging and disengaging outta the holster its completely subconscious. I've fired about maybe 300 rounds maybe and my draw and shot is about 2.5seconds roughly. I only dry fire about a hour total a week. Sure no safety is easiest, but its so negligible its not a good reason not to get a manual safety.

I went with the beretta m9 clone the girsan regard for my night stand gun. Design is a battle and time tested platform, holds 18+1 came with a red dot that is designed to be on 24/7, suppressor height sights in case the red dot fails or dies and the quality is absolutely top notch all for about 500 bucks. All I had to do was add an light/laser combo that I can charge on my night stand without removing it from the pistol. Perfect night stand gun I'm my opinion.

@@duacot6633 I stumbled across some videos on the girsan and kept hearing how they thought the girsan was actually better than the beretta.

Hey man, I recently got the Regard with red dot also, but I've been second guessing myself. Only dry fire so far to keep it new looking in case I sell it. The trigger pull is just heavy as hell. You do anything to lighten yours?

*RUGER LCR, BERETTA M9A4* A Ruger LCR (best in 9mm or .38 Special IMO) is great for jacket/vest/bathrobe pockets when walking around the home and surrounds and might be all you want for a bedside home defense gun. Also a lot easier to conceal these small handguns around the home than a big handgun like the HK45. If one wants a versatile self-loading pistol that offers firepower and the ability to mount a white light, laser, RDS and silencer there can be only one choice IMO. Namely the silencer ready Beretta M9A4. This 9mm handgun also makes a vastly better impact weapon than any polymer frame pistol, while the metal frame prevents twisting if a heavy light/laser is fitted (a problem with some polymer frame pistols which lack a metal insert to make them stiffer). Also safer to carry than striker fired pistols that lack a safety catch thanks to the DA mechanism that results in a longer and heavier trigger pull for the first shot. A supremely versatile self-loading pistol. I prefer the decock only Centurion variant with the shorter slide/barrel.

I have the PPX. It has the typically amazing Walther trigger, it's a great shooter, and I love the pistol. However, it suffers from a common Walther curse. Once a model goes out of production, according to Walther, it's as if it never existed. Good luck finding holsters, spare mags, replacement parts, or even a cross-reference guide to let you know which new model parts work in your discontinued model. It's a really shitty and easily solved customer service problem and, considering the excellent firearms the company makes, you'd think they'd have solved it by now..

I live in an area with security and closed off walls but there's still a bunch of houses and you never now who might be living in them. I'm a new gun owner with a Glock 19 Gen 5 and I absolutely love the looks, the feel and most importantly how it makes me feel when I'm carrying it outside the house, I'm a bit thin so it's a bit hard to get used to but after a few minutes you forget about it. I don't have a bedside gun to pull up in a moments notice but I do have it in a safe right in front of my bed always accessible with a 6 digit code that I'll never ever forget that is made to be input with a quick flow that prevents mistakes even in a stressful situation. I was planning to buy a Savage 110 Elite precision in 338 lapua as it's gorgeous and feels mean and a Remington shotgun in 12 gauge. I also keep 2 magazines always loaded with hollowpoints and the boxes with FMJ and more Hollowpoints are accessible too.

I’m happy to stick with 45 for my bedside gun - Walther PPQ 45 SD specifically. Shoots brilliantly like the PDP and has a threaded barrel to take a suppressor. +3 extensions are available to give you 15+1 capacity and no need to get special subsonic ammo because it’s naturally subsonic already. The only downside is no red dot cut on the slide, but there is a company that makes a base plate to replace the rear sight with a red dot mount. Best of all, it’s ~$400 less than the FNX45 Tactical and ~half the price of a USP 45 Tactical

[@ricardodelrey6419]

Colin I love that you made note of the muzzle brake on the Staccato P... I can tell you from personal experience that a Brake on a pistol makes it EXTREMELY LOUD to the shooter, especially considering that you won't have hearing protection on and will be indoors. The rest of the choices are great and AS ALWAYS you make amazing content!

Yes, it only holds 6 rounds, but for what ever reason I can shoot the smallest groups with my early 80's vintage 29. People find it odd because I am small and have smallish hands. But that gun's grip fits me perfectly and the sights and barrel length just plain work for me. As for any polymer type gun or a Glock, I might as well be throwing rocks since I can not seem to hit the side of a barn with those newer guns.
