    True, all of these factors come into play, but i was expecting a full size FN to reoil less than a subcompact glock, which is chambered in a bigger round. 40 s&w is a higher pressure round which forces the projectile to accelerate faster than the lower pressure .45

    as for high point, ive seen alot of video reviews of them and they actually are very reliable pistols, but i cant get over how ugly they are. id rather spend the extra money and get another glock. also, you are 100% correct, using an AR for home defense is more likely to result in criminal charges than using a shotgun or a pistol. i keep a glock 17 and a glock 19 on the nightstand next to my bed with a couple spare 33 round mags, and a GP WASR10-63 with a bayonet and 40 round mag for easy access along with another 3 loaded 40 round mags, but one of my glocks would be the go to, the AK is only for worst case scenario, plus i just like looking at it.
    Honestly, I don't really see the point in keeping a 33 shot magazine next to your nightstand. According to the FBI, 70-90% of all citizen-involved self-defense shootings are resolved in under 4 rounds. The majority of them are solved in 1-2 rounds. Very rarely are 10 shots needed to solve the problem. And if you're in a sort of situation where you have several people you need to equalize, a shotgun probably would be more practical.

    If you whip out a 33 shot magazine, that would likely be used as evidence to say you were not acting in self-defense. But regardless, it'd be smart for all gun owners to buy personal firearm liability insurance. Think of it as like buying car insurance. You don't plan on getting in to an accident, but if you did get in one, it's a life saver to have.
