    My primary home defense weapon is an HK UMP 45 SBR with a Gemtech Suppressor on it. I view this as one of the best home defense guns as at night or low light situations the flash is all but eliminated eliminating flash blindness and the sound is greatly reduced to be safe without hearing protection.

    The two possible downsides would be overpenetration in interior walls and inability to penetrate body armor.

    As far as flash. When I light up my weapon light, it's WAY more brightness than any flash from my SBR.

    I can tell you that in Florida the results can differ dramatically from one county to another. I work with two LEO's, each from their county agency and those counties border each other. Both get into obviously justifiable shootings. One gets his weapon back inside of 2 weeks. The other has to buy a new one because he got it back after 2 years. There were no factors involving the righteousness of either shoot.

    Regarding the OP, use the best weapon that you have the most familiarity and training with. How much is your life or that of your loved ones worth?? Yes I use an SBR, with a can, and with electronic ear pro.
    What county took only 2 weeks? I live in Osceola county and the sheriff here has signed all my Form 1's and Form 4's. I usually keep my Serbu super shorty under my pillow (a 3 shot claymore mine I know), but I rotate my beside the bed weapons. It could be one of my SBR's, my AC556k, or my M11/9 SMG.
    Nah, I'm not paranoid!
    May God have mercy on my enemies, because I won't.

    He is talking about having a weapon taken after a self defense shooting.

    Come on guys. Astroglide is what you use to run a suppressor wet. Everyone know this.

    At least it smells like mint.

    (And by the way, it's way funnier that the Astroglide has been used a bit.)

    Yes. My home defense is a 9 inch AAC 300 BLK SBR rifle with Barnes 110 grain black tip.
