Do you prefer an electric blanket,quilt, or down comforter to keep you warm?
First off.. Cover vs concelment. Cover will stop a bullet. Concelment just hides you from view. A couch is concelment. Next, 4-5 vs you? Bad odds, I would be thinking , who did I piss off, slept with or what drug dealers car got scratched? Last. My first weapon of choice is my Carbine rather than the pistol. My .30 carbine hits harder than the hand gun the long barrel 30 round mag has more of a scare factor to the bad guys. Also handy to whack folks up close with the butt or to deflect a knife thrust. Overall, since most bad guys can't shoot well or srpay pray I think you have a chance. Drop the leader, the rest will chicken out.
Depends on what it all is. The average weight of a pencil is seven grams. The two-toed sloth is the slowest mammal. What did the fish say when he hit the wall? Dam! Does that help?
Crazy, i wouldnt even want to start a fire fight, why waste your life just like that, who knows what might happen,they might have guns just as you too, HELL they might even have a semi-auto or a Uzi for all they care, all those guys want is just your valueables, just give it to them or another good way is to call 911 and tell them to get where you are staying RIGHT AWAY !
Glock 20 or 21, plenty of performance and much higher capacity than a DE or a 1911, much more reliable too.
Bound's hubby here: First off, 50 feet is not close enough in a fire fight to employ a handgun. Your best bet would be a 12 guage pump action shotgun with deer barrel loaded with 00 buckshot (plug removed). Each shell carries 9 32 caliber balls moving at about 800 feet per second. That would equal, roughly, 45 bullets against the Glock's 19. Only a senseless fool goes up against a shotgun. As an aside if the scenario you described took place in New Jersey, you would be prosecuted for murder because it does not qualify as a self-defense scenario. You have not retreated the premises. You have not exhausted all avenues of retreat. With the environment you described, invest in a good alarm system, a good dog and a good pump action shotgun. Good luck.
