Bodyguards: 5 pistols that are considered the best choice for protecting yourself and your home

Disputes about the pros and cons of legalizing short-barreled weapons do not subside not only in Russia. However, today we will not be talking about that. Suppose for the next hour that pistols were allowed for purchase and free carrying. If this happened, then one should immediately worry about arming oneself-beloved. However, there are a huge number of short-barreled weapons on the market, which pistol should you choose? There are several designs that are traditionally considered the best for civilian wear.

1. Smith & Wesson Model 686

Caliber: .357 Magnum and .38 Special
Weight: 1.25 kg
Dimensions: 303 mm

The main thing in a weapon for self-defense is not at all compactness and low weight, although they are also important. The most important thing is the stopping effect. Therefore, it is better to take a real record holder in this area. One of these is considered to be the 686th popular in the United States. Wearing one will not be easy, but just by the holster alone, everyone will know how serious you are!

2. Glock 17

Caliber: 9 × 19 mm Parabellum
Weight: 0.65 kg
Dimensions: 186x33x138 mm

It is difficult to imagine a rating of pistols in which the Glock 17 would not fall, or at least some of its varieties. Indeed, outstanding performance, relatively low price and high reliability make the famous 17th weapon of exceptional versatility. You can even say that this is a Kalashnikov assault rifle from the world of pistols.

3. Taurus 905

Caliber: 9 mm R.A.
Weight: 0.67 kg
Dimensions: 173x105 mm

Unexpectedly - a revolver from Brazil. And not the most ordinary one. The fact is that this sample of weapons is traumatic, not lethal. Interestingly, until 2011, these revolvers were even imported to Russia. Despite the not very successful start of sales (the first models had serious problems with the drum), today 905s are readily bought all over the world. Including in the USA.

4. Beretta 92FS

Caliber: 9 × 19 mm Parabellum
Weight: 0.95 kg
Dimensions: 217x38x137 mm

The world famous Beretta gained its status mainly due to the purchases of the US Army. Today, the 92FS is almost never used by the American military, as more modern and ergonomic pistols have appeared. However, the powerful advertising and combat experience of the application did their job. By the way, all this very much makes this sample of Italian weapons in common with the next pistol.

5. Colt 1911

Caliber: .45 ACP
Weight: 1.12 kg
Dimensions: 216x30x135 mm

To say that 1911 is a legendary pistol would not be enough. A rare example of a short-barreled rifled weapon that has been in use for over a century. Especially when it comes to a pistol, not a revolver. Of course, John Moses Browning's pistol has been repeatedly improved in an attempt to "modernize" not too clever design. And although all ingenious is simple, from the age of 1911, several "generic" shortcomings grow, which, on the one hand, makes it not the best choice as a means of self-defense. On the other hand, there is little that can compete with this Colt in the area of ​​stopping effect.
