Top 10 Handguns for Prepping and Home Defense

There are several factors that form the selection of these guns including the cost, ammo, reliability, round capacity and concealment. First I will start off with cost saving guns that can be used by peppers and home defenders. I my opinion firearms should not be used in a survival situation to produce food because no matter what whether it is a 10,000 rounds you have or 6 you will run out. I recommend using renewable resources for hunting like bows, spears and fishing poles.





10. Pheonix HP 22 $100-$140.

9. Cobra Freedom 380 $100-$130





This pistol is a real steal of it's price and it's stainless steal body make it low maintenance. It also has low recoil and light ammo. The only down side is it's extra safety features. There are instructions found on YouTube a various sites to modify the pistol and remove the safety features making it operate like a normal pistol.







The Cobra Freedom 380 is another inexpensive pistol for preppers and home defense. The gun is a  heavier caliber than the last pistol. The grip is not that bad and it could be carried. The main issues are that it is made of pot metal making it heavy and fry firing can break the firing pin. For this reason you should order an extra firing pin.
8. High Point 9mm $120-$180



The HighPonit 9mm is heavy, ugly and is heavy. However it is cheap, reliable with a lifetime warranty, is accurate and is 9mm.







8. High Point 9mm $120-$180

7. Tisas 1911 $399-$500


It is a very basic GI 1911 but you can't beat the price with the 45 ACP caliber. It is reliable, accurate and cheaper. It's only flaw is the trigger because it is a stock 1911 trigger unlike the $1000+ 1911's out there with pro triggers.








The Canik 9mm is well made and cheap. It comes with a case and holster.

6. Canik TP9SA $300-$400





5. Black Powder Revolvers $300-$400
Numerous companies no make firing replicas of black powder revolvers. They have the advantage of being able to make the black powder and to cast the bullets to fire them. 




4. Taurus Judge $400-$550


The Taurus Judge is an interesting gun in that it is a shotgun pistol that is not an NFA item. The gun also fires 45 Long Colt. 














3. 5/7 $1100-$1500

The 5/7 gets its name from the special rounds it shoots. It holds 20 rounds that are essentially a carbine round. The down sides are the cost, cost of ammo and availability of ammo.








The 357 Magnum Desert Eagle is powerful, semiautomatic and more practical than the 50 caliber version. The only downside is the cost.






2. Desert Eagle 357 magnum $1400-$1600



1. PMR-30 $399-$500
The PMR-30 is number 1 because of it's price, 22 magnum ammo (only slightly less powerful than the 5/7), 30 round magazines, accuracy, reliability and light weight even loaded. It is a concealable fighting gun that qualifies a personal defense weapon.
