For a gun to serve both the home and on a person's body, it must be loaded with some distinct features. Concealed carry
weapons fall in the line of smaller firearms, which in most cases leads to a smaller caliber weapon. Home defense firearms can range from small to large and pistol to rifle. So many people want to get into guns these days. Some looking for either their first home defense or carry weapon. There are a bunch of guns out there that can solve both needs. We first need to break down the main characteristics needed for home and ccw
protection. Those features have allowed me to search budsgunshop for all guns under $300.00 that fit the bill. Let me answer the question about those needed characteristics. Your home is a castle, but in our scenario let's look at it as your Fort Knox. Put that into consideration and know that Fort Knox is most likely protected by some large caliber rifles. Most of our homes are
not filled with tons of gold. They are filled with something even more valuable...family and memories. Defense for the home should mean the best of the best. I take that in choosing the type of guns that will best serve most home protection scenarios.
It would suck to be out powered by the assailants entering your home. The topic is ccw, or else I'd just tell you to buy a shotgun from buds. Handguns bring power too! Some are small enough to be comfortably carried on your person. I've looked at budsgunshop to review the "man stopper" guns. The round the coined the phrase is the 45 acp. It brought enough force trauma to a person to stop them in their tracks. Ammunition like 40 cal and 357 sig
have helped to bring similar power to smaller rounds than the 45 acp. This ignited my search for three guns of each caliber that work well for both home and ccw use.
In searching for a 45 acp handgun guess what? I didn't find anything worth a referral. Sure there is the cheapest selling Hi-point JHP 45 for $159.99. It has a 4.5" barrel and holds 9 in the magazine. Your other option could be the better version JHP 45 at $199.99. Basically their the same gun the later comes with a galco
holster. After the hi-point's there is the Kahr CT45 at $318 dollars. Kahr is well known in the gun world. They make some really good pistols too. Yet, it ain't under or at $300 so we can't talk about it any longer. Wanting to see the disassembly of one of these hi-points, I went on youtube to find the above video. There's a couple points to understand about the idea of 45 acp as first budget home defense gun.
The popular 9mm parabellum. It was created in 1901 and began it's production in 1902. 9 mill has always been a well rounded round. You get my point. It's good for range shooting and target practice. While having enough power to be a defense round. We have more of a choice in this caliber per my budsgunshop search. The first thing that I'm considering is the guns capacity. We can do better than the 9 rounds we're getting out of a 45 acp. Yes, we loose some power but quantity can balance that out. The cheapest 15+1 rounds comes in at $289.00, it's by Diamondback. I'm not familiar with the brand, but I see their guns online a lot. They make tons of guns so you should check their website out. In turn I was trying to find one of the better brands. Hoping to get a better deal if I reduced the magazine capacity in my search. That didn't go well. Buds was kind of glitchie with the capacity search. I went back to my original search and just scrolled. Patience is a virtue because there were some 16+1 guns that I missed. Then I found something. I dig the Taurus PT809 compact. 3.62" barrel while storing 17+1 rounds of 9mm. Having that short barrel means that it could be carried and concealed. Taurus does well with entry level firearms and this one was priced at $280 dollars at the cash discounted price. Youtube is my go to for added info. Especially when finding real life reviews. Here's one by Ronnie Adkin's page about the PT809. With the thumb safety and it's large capacity, plus the barrel size......I'm sold on this one. I say it's a good choice because it checks everything off my would be list for practicality. It's only missing that thing the 45 acp has.....good knockdown power.

There's a couple points to understand about the idea of 45 acp as first budget home defense gun.- Bullets won't be the cheapest (comparing to other handgun rounds)
- The pickings to nearer to none for a $300 dollar 45 acp
- Everyone in your home may not be able to handle and shoot the gun
As I'm looking at the search I created on buds. The one where I searched for 45 acp pistols at the low to high range price. Once you get into lets say the $400 price range, you start seeing some of the familiar names in firearms. Smith & Wesson, Bersa, Bond Arms
, Sig Sauer. Guns at the price we are talking are coming with 9 round magazines. In 45 acp that's considered plenty of fire power.....for a kind of warning situation I would say. With all things considering and options available, you have your hi-point selection or you can opt for a 9mm or 40 cal.

Call it 40 caliber, 40 cal or by it's original name of 40 S&W. There the inventors of the round if you must know...yes, those Smith & Wesson guys. My search for 40 cal handguns turned out worse than the 45 acp. Hi-points were every where and there was a Taurus with low capacity and a used smith & wesson
. The Taurus slim 740 fits the ccw category, but I'm not feeling the capacity. It has a manual safety, good for carrying it loaded. Biggest downside for our need is the 6+1 capacity. 40 cal does bring more punch, but your short on rounds if someone came into your home. You'd be better off with an extra mag. I didn't want to configure an added mag to our search because that would expand our options indefinitely. The point is...everyone doesn't store mags all over their home. Most people who carry concealed just carry the one magazine. Rambo
kind of people who do carry multiple rounds need not be concerned. Option 2 is to go used with any of these calibers. I found a S&W M&P40 LE standard size at the used price of $300 dollars flat. It's most likely a police trade-in. These guns were very popular with police country wide in the mid 2000's, Check the youtube video below on it. Remember to consider all of your options before making the decision to buy a gun. You want to make sure you have the right tool for the job. It would be like having to head back to autozone repeatedly because you keep buying to wrong tool.
