1911 for Home Defense — The Best Choice?

Jfal said:
I keep my 15+1 P365 next to my pillow, plus an AK-47 (Zastava ZPAP M70 with a 30-round mag) at hand.

Love my 10mm 1911, but it just doesn't have the capacity for an assault I hear about with 6-9 mauraders on a home invasion.

The 16" barrel and short OAL of the AK vs. my AR seems better for my HD. JIMO.

6-9 intruders and one would be hard pressed to get more than 2-3 if they pressed the attack.
I would asses that when shot are fired by a homeowner in a home invasion that two things could happen:
- perps flee even if its 6-9 as they prob dont want to get shot
-perps shoot back, but still flee
When shots are fired , the gig is up, so intruders beat feet. No sense of a robbery now that the whole world knows the cops are coming.

A 10 round micro compact, 8 round .45 or 6 round revolver will all get the job done.

If I feel I need 30 rounds of anything, it would be an SBR, as my AR-15’s are unwieldy in cqb and I go for short

1. I can't help myself. You know I am a recovering book editor/tech writer/word naxi. ;)

2. I'll bet SOMEBODY here learned a new word today. And, as my Late Great Old Dad used to say, "You learn something new every day, if you're not careful." ;):LOL:

EXCELLENT analysis/logic/reasoning. (y)

Was it Clint Smith who said "The main reason for a pistol is so you can fight your way to your rifle"? (Mine, for reasons discussed in another thread, is my beloved USGI M1 Carbine.) ;)

98% of gun writers are not journalists, but hobbyists who think they are.

I only pay attention to ~5-6 gun writers because those know what they're talking about, and do thorough evaluations of the item that they're writing about.

So true. Just out of curiosity, who are those 5-6 who know what they're talking about? Just interested to see if they're the same as my list. ;)
 
What gets me is, Dr. Dabbs is NOT an uneducated writer, but as with other "gun writers" some of his opines, especially more recently just seem to be , for lack of a better description FLUFF, no real substance, just a repeat of the usual stuff. And by this I mean ANOTHER recap of the 1911s history, or a review of some other major types history.
Jeebus Doc, EVERYONE more or less has access to the INTERWEBZ, address the subject at hand.........
I swear even the decent gun writers seem to be getting paid by the word
