Defending your home from life-threatening invaders requires a serious tool that won’t let you down in the heat of the moment. If that time should come, make sure you’re ready and properly equipped.
Here are a few 1911s for home defense on which you can depend.
This one's a great option if you’re interested in having caliber diversity. This combo model allows you to use 22TCM or the drop-in 9mm barrel. It's a great option for plinking on the range, and the 17+1 capacity adds extra value as a home-defense option.
If you want something with a history of proven firepower, the TAC Ultra FS in 45ACP is right up your alley. Best of all, you can pack in 14 rounds instead of just eight. Mount a flashlight to the accessory rail to top it off for home defense.
Looking for a reliable nightstand pistol to keep next to your bed? The compact size of the TAC Ultra CS won’t hog space and still gives you the essentials for a home-defense pistol.
For those looking for high velocity and don’t mind a little extra kick, consider using the TAC Ultra in 10mm. It has a high-visibility front sight, a tough parkerized finish and battle-ready G10 grips.

Ask ten shooters whether they prefer a striker-fired pistol or a hammer-fired pistol, and you will get ten confident answers.
What’s actually the difference between the two firing types?
A striker-fired pistol uses an internal, spring-loaded striker to hit the primer of ammunition. A hammer-fired pistol uses a pivoting hammer that falls onto the firing pin, igniting the primer. The practical difference shows up in trigger feel, how ready the gun is to break the first shot, and firearm maintenance needs.
This choice is one of the first forks in the road when choosing a handgun, right up there with caliber and size. There is no universal winner in the striker-fired vs. hammer-fired debate, only the choice that fits how you shoot. Learn more with John McClain from Team Armscor.

You may be here looking for a direct answer to which is better. Here is the truth about the .45 ACP vs. 9mm firearm debate.
There is no one winner. There never has been, but there may be a right choice in ammo for your specific needs and situation. Team Armscor's John McClain knows both calibers well enough to help you deduce which caliber is right for you. So let's compare .45 ACP and 9mm ammo.

Father's Day is right around the corner, and if your dad is a shooter, you already know the struggle. He's particular. He probably already has what he needs. And if you get it wrong, that gift might sit in a drawer next to three other things he didn't need either.
We know a better approach with some safe bets, gear he didn't realize he needed, and a priceless gift you have to stay to the end to see.
