will this work good for home defence

Well... I sharpened mine. It will definitely cut off someone's hand or get stuck in their head now, but I wouldn't try that! Just buy a shotgun for home defense and use this thing when your in the woods.

No, get the Kbar kukri. Much thicker steel and better quality. This one is very poorly made.

25 yards is not the usual self defense distance. Sight it in at 7-10yards or less if you are using it for home defense.

I would not recommend for the front door even if it works- this would leave your frnot door unlocked and any body could break into your house while you are somewhere else inside.

I can't think of a home defense scenario that I would have a large knife on me. A smaller revolver or mace would be far likelier to be carried discreetly (not freak out neighbors) and be ready to deploy. Knife work takes real training and you don't need something this size except in a knife fight. This is really a top notch survival knife for field conditions.

I bought this for that exact use, it is identical to the real-steel 9c which I carry every day,the weight, trigger and controls are a perfect match. The 9c is wider and heavier than the Shield as well as a slightly different grip. It should be fine for training at home...if you buy this use .25g BB's, they are significantly more accurate.

For a defense shotgun you would be much better off with a light. Target identification is critical with a weapon intended for use in the home. In the dark, a laser alone is useless. As far as aiming assistance, you're not exactly threading a needle here, this is a short range weapon not a sniper rifle.

It certainly will be good for self defense just not very practical. Furthermore, depending on the state you live in, it may not be legal to carry on a regular basis. Check your state penal code on that. Notwithstanding, it is a good knife and keep in mind that it was designed for underwater use against large animals in their element, I think it would hold up fine against an assailant.

Likely it would however I only use the bench for working on the weapons. Scopes, triggers, and sites. You could also fashion a clamp to your range bench to really secure it.

If your neighbor' house's is 15 feet from your, yes you would scare them. It is too powerful for small patios. It also depends on what kind of neighbors you have. Other than that the rifle is awesome.

I bought this knife primarily to serve as an firearms retention item. It will do that well. As a primary self defense weapon the tip may be a bit thin. Hope this helps.

I purchased this primarily to use on my home defense weapon. I want to see what I'm shooting. Because many of my usage scenarios are inside, I actually went outside in the sunlight to check the range. There is a big difference when you are in the sunlight, but I could see it roughly 30 - 40 yards away.

I really like it for home use , it is light weight and easy to use. As far as an explosion , that would be unpredictable ?

It would work fine, but might not last long with the recoil of a 12 gage. I got one of these and it broke the first time at the range with a 9mm carbine. You get what you pay for.

I'm not sure how well it will hold up to recoil but on crossbow and .22 cal rifle. It works well. The reviews on this were very good so I bought it for that reason. It seems pretty solid and should hold up well. I'd check other reviews and see if you can find more info on this item.

Yes it would probably work. Keep in mind that you need to press the trigger to activate the smoke. Also, it needs to be kept more or less upright most of the time.
