Less Common (But Very Effective) Self-Defense Calibers From Ammunition Depot

1. Less Common (But Very Effective) Self-Defense Calibers From Ammunition Depot There’s a good reason that .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP own so much of the defensive handgun market. Those calibers have proved to be extremely effective, dependable, field-tested, tried-and-true cartridges for defending one’s person, hearth, and home. (Which is why Ammunition Depot carries dozens of brands, loads, styles, quantities, and examples for each of them.) However, there is no… magic bullet firearm or caliber that works for everyone. There are countless variables: whether someone lives in a house or apartment building in an urban or rural environment, the size of their hands, whether the firearm is going to be carried or kept in the home, and just personal preferences can all play a role. Because those preferences and distinctions can make such a big difference for those looking for a firearm to protect them and theirs, Ammunition Depot carries a huge variety of both arms and the ammunition to feed them. Consider the following options as alternatives to perhaps more popular or common cartridges. .22 LR While the .22 LR as a defensive caliber is sometimes decried by some as an underpowered, “anemic” gun, that sort of dismissal is wrongheaded. The fact is that a gun is a game changer in a self-defense scenario—people tend to raise their hands or sprint the other direction. So if the low-recoil, high-capacity, smaller-frame .22 LR firearm is for you, pick up the highest quality .22 LR ammo for sale from Ammunition Depot. .22 WMR Still, if a pistol (or rifle) chambered for .22 LR (and chambered with Ammunition Depot’s best .22 LR ammo) just doesn’t seem like enough, but you like the idea of the high-capacity, low- recoil, modestly-priced .22 caliber family, consider the .22 Magnum or .22 WMR (Winchester

2. Magnum Rimfire). Pistols chambered for .22 WMR carry up to 30 cartridges to a single magazine. That’s 30 cartridges with a muzzle velocity and penetration basically comparable to 9mm or .45 ACP. Not a bad combination. 10mm If you just can’t stomach the idea of a .22 caliber, either LR or WMR, consider going the other direction with the unbeatable stopping power of the 10mm. It’s one of the few pistol calibers that makes the .45 ACP seem a little, well… modest. And sometimes, someone wants a sidearm that just doesn’t leave any room for stopping-power doubt. .300 AAC Blackout Particularly recently, the .300 AAC Blackout cartridge isn’t exactly uncommon. It’s become increasingly common and popular as a hunting and self-defense option due to its knockdown power, AR-15 platform modularity, and subsonic capacity for suppression. If you’re looking for a home-defense caliber (one that can be suppressed so firing indoors if necessary doesn’t blow your eardrums out), .300 AAC Blackout is a great option.
