A carbine like the SAINT is a great all-around firearm.
But is it not suited for home defense?
Check out my video above to find out my take on it.
The Why…
Lets go over why the AR is a good choice for a role like this.
Firstly, its the most configurable firearm out there today.
you might set a SAINT up exactly like you need it.
In my case today, I have a SAINT Victor 5.56 set up with a Trijicon MRO optic.
Also, it is a lot easier to shoot accurately than a handgun.
Entering a room with one is more difficult than with a handgun.
So, you should aim a few inches high to hit where you intend.
How about using a .223 round indoors?
Wont that penetrate every wall in your house?
This is a common misperception, and one that Ive found is inaccurate from my own ammo testing.
The bullets tumble on impact against walls, using up a lot of energy in a short distance.
As a result, your 9mm will likely penetrate much more than your .223.
Conclusion
Is theAR right for home defense?In my opinion, it is.
It offers great performance and power, and less of a tendency to over-penetrate than many handgun rounds.
