Re: Home defense shotgun
Here is an article I read back a few months ago on the PS9. http://www.gunsholstersandgear.com/2...ry-ps9-dagger/
One big selling point I see is that it has the cutout under the trigger guard that a lot of Glock fans have done to make the Glock more comfortable. It also comes with metal sights, another popular Glock swap out.Last edited by KeithKSR; 04-22-2020 at 08:13 AM.

Re: Home defense shotgun
I have not had a chance to handle one of these yet, but it certainly appears functional, with some nice features to it.
Of course, putting rounds downrange is the real test.
I like what I see, but I'd have to actually hold one and shoot it to decide if I'd buy one.

Re: Home defense shotgun
That is a very kind offer, or I may just ask for your product review and decide from that.

Re: Home defense shotgun
I have an 11-87 Super-mag Special Purpose that doubles as a turkey gun and home defense weapon. Believe me nobody wants to be on the receiving end of a 3 1/2 in. load from that bad boy.It's by far the best shotgun I have ever owned.

Re: Home defense shotgun
I just want it for self protection, I do not want it to blow out the window glass all over the house when I fire it off inside a closed up house.

Re: Home defense shotgun
I picked up a Glock 19 Gen 4 at Rural King at the pre-pandemic $499 price tag. It was among a group of about four or five pistols in that 9mm, 4 inch barrel, and 15 round capacity group I had narrowed things down to. I could have gone with one of my other choices for around that $450-$475 price range, but when I considered the extra mag the Glock comes with and the speed loader it became the better buy. $30-$40 to buy a third magazine and $12-$15 for a speed loader would have put some of the other choices at the price of the Glock or higher.
I still am on the hunt for the home defense shotgun. With the prices of the off the rack shotguns being what they are I think I can buy one much more economically than I can buy a used pump action and build one. Another hindrance is the unavailability of used pump action Mossberg and Remington shot guns. The only used shotguns I have found are single barrels of various manufacturers made on the 30s and 40s or earlier.

Home defense shotgun
Dan, I ended up with the Walther Creed, and I'm very content with it. Beyond content, very happy in fact. It is substituting for a niche I thought I needed (higher capacity reliable 9mm. I have a nice S&W 39-2 9mm, but single stack 8 shot mags).
But if they had the PSA Glock clone then that's likely what I would have ended up with. I am looking forward to some of you getting it and letting me know what I'm missing.

Re: Home defense shotgun
Amazing what one can find just prowling around the net.
II can get a brand new Barrett .50 cal with built in tripod for $8,499.00 and that includes a 25X50 scope. Includes the standard 10 round clip. I just need an additional $7,000.00 in stimulus money.
It is a absolutely beautiful weapon.

Re: Home defense shotgun
Dan, can you get extended round magazines for that?
Maybe we can all chip in and get a KSR one we can share.

Re: Home defense shotgun
50 round drum mags are available. Only way to make this work is for everybody to get together and I shoot once, you shoot once, and on down the line. You shoot that thing more than once a day and it is gonna hurt.

Re: Home defense shotgun
A big factor for me is availability of a lot of less expensive aftermarket goodies. If the PSA clone can use the most of the a Glock stuff they may have trouble keeping them in stock.
The Ruger PC Carbine uses Glock mags, and I can see other companies picking up on the use of Glock mags in the future. Patents have expired through Gen 3 and lots of companies are churning out magazines.

Re: Home defense shotgun
My Agency just issued us all brand new Glock Model 45's in 9 mm.
We had the option of buying back our former duty weapons, mine is the H&K USP Compact .40 S&W.
Not bragging, but I got mine, with 3 magazines for LESS THAN $400.00.
As far as the Glock is concerned, it's a Glock. It still has that messed up European cant to the grip, and it's a 9 mm, not a .40 or a .45. It's functional, and at least they issued us good duty ammunition, the Hornady Critical Duty in 135 grain +P.
As I have said before, I am NOT a Glock fan. I hate the European grip angle, it doesn't facilitate a true from the holster point of aim on target. But.......it is functional, very basic, and I do like the safety features on it.
It's okay. But it isn't a Sig or an H&K. JMHO.

Re: Home defense shotgun
If I were not concerned about over penetration into the neighbors house i would be shopping for a Springfield arms model 1911 .45 cal. The 1911 fits my hand, I love the balance and with the 5 inch barrel the recoil and barrel rise are both very manageable.

Re: Home defense shotgun
I'm going to look hard at the Sig P320 (military designation M17 or M18 for the compact version which I would probably go with), the new military service weapon. It's gotten really good reviews. Sig makes great guns. If I were getting a full size semi auto that's my first stop.
Now that's a 9mm, and I prefer a 40S&W or 45ACP.
My next small gun is probably the Springfield XDS in 45acp. Sweet gun.
Or a bazooka.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.
