I have a quick question ...

.
... what would you rather have as a home defense weapon; handgun (any caliber), shotgun (again, any caliber and load) or H&K MP5SD?

I really want to know.

Pistol first.

Easier to secure and access for those 'bump in the night' moments.

Shotgun second - more likely to need across the room against one or two people then the MP5.

I second Bob S, with a different reason for the SD. Because the MP5SD bleeds off gas pressure, it puts out a lightweight bullet at subsonic velocity. Instead of shooting 147gr subsonics, you are shooting 115gr subsonic. Essentially it's the worlds most expensive .380 ACP

Now, same choices except Kriss Vector, or a 9mm subgun? I'd take the subgun, assuming it was both free and not my only weapon. I still want a pistol for carry.

Of course, I'd take this first,

.223, and suppressed. Best of both worlds. Only 34" overall length with the stock collapsed. It's exactly the same size as a 16" barreled AR with a flash suppressor.

Sean, I can see where you're coming from. I would stay away from full-powered centerfire rifle cartridges because of the muzzle blast (you can't suppress sonic crack!). But if you were to take a comparable AR-platform carbine in, say, 300 BLK ... then I'd go with that. I picked the MP5SD because it's off the shelf and can be had in 3-rd burst flavor. And you can use 147gr subs, you just won't have as effective suppression.

I appreciate your commment

BTW, that rifle you linked is schweet!
