For all the talk I cant think of a realistic scenario where any of us is going to need to start swapping magazines and tactically engaging targets at home. 30rd, 10rd doesnt matter much inside the house or at the range.
And besides, the real time consuming part is filling the mags, not inserting them. You can swap out mags in just a couple seconds without even going empty.

Only time I could see an extra mag useful is with a handgun and someone trying to break and enter my residence.
Thanks JD, I'll look into that savage for my next build. Wont be for a while though 
and with the mag capacity, i guess i'm so used the 10 round limit here in CA that i really dont know what its like to have more haha, sad! i built this gun for plinking, close range varmint hunting, and just to have fun with.
when it comes to home defense, im not gonna grab the .223. im gonna go for the Remington 870 thats loaded with 3" magnum 00 buckshots! now thats a home defense weapon. up next would be the .45, and last would be the .223. i think its too small of round to use for home protection

His rifle doesnt accept magazine like other Stoners. You have to use a tool to release the magazine...that is time consuming!
And in ANY event rather it be a home invasion (wouldnt pick up the AR anyhow) or zombie invasion, a rifle that restricts me to just ten rounds and hellaciously long mag change just isnt going to cut it. Even if only one or better yet, no rounds were needed. I guess I just go by; better to have it and not need it then neet it and not have it!
I can see that at the range it would be ok, but his rifle isnt meant for slow aimed shots where ten rounds would be fine/fun to have. He couldnt even participate in a three gun match. I'm not saying its his fault and he created one hell of a beautiful rifle considering the BS laws he had to work around. I am just saying its not too practical...if that is what he wanted it to be...and I dont think he did. That brings us back to my original suggestion of an ACOG clone just for looks. Make sense?

Makes me miss my Mossberg 20 gauge, if I had a choice though I would grab the guage and tuck the .45 in my waistband.

The one good thing about quality firearms is, if you take care of them, chances are you wont lose any money on them if you have to sell. Thats what I keep telling myself anyway!
Can you guys have shotguns with detachable mags? If so check out the Saiga-12 = BAD ASS! Its THE perfect overall home defense weapon IMO.
Imagine an AK with a 10 round detachable mag full of 12guage shells...that is litterally what it is!
Yeah the Saigas are awesome! They're semi-auto right? I dont think that would be legal because its semi-auto, same basic concept (under the eye of the law) as the M4. The good 'ol pump action will have to do.JD7.62;1796123;1796123 said:
And what I like about the M4, is that the mag lock is not a permanent modification. It can be changed in about 3 minutes. So if i ever move out of state, or if CA becomes a free state, I can have a fully functioning M4!!
And, there are a few tricks with that I have with the mag lock and high-cap magazines. Of course, I'm not gonna talk about that on a public forum
Handgun or shotgun definately a beter choice for home defense. A 223 round will get your neighbors too. Then again...if youdont like your neighbors....? But mag capacity in a home situation I think is highly over rated. My home defense gun is a browning hi-power with glaser slugs. I taught my wife that if she has to swap mags to defend the house she is in waaay over her head and needs to flee. Then again, we're not expecting a squad rush on the house. Dollars to donuts after the first couple shots the burglars will be dead or on the run.

thats a good point, my shotgun holds 8 rounds total (1 in the chamber) and i think thats plenty. but then again, a good friend of mine was victim of a serious home invasion attempt a few years ago. it was him and his dad against 6~7 bad guys, all armed and needless to say they went through several dozen rounds and mags. 3 of the bad guys were hit and later arrested at the hospital. all were later caught and still in prison.
there is no such thing as over-prepared when it comes to home protection
