Thinking about keeping something in my tool box at work. Second shift, sometimes dindus and crackheads wander onto the property or even into the shop.

Something cheap?

Well i have two pawnshop buys, feg clone browning and a discount Mak

he better not take our soda

I'd say go with the browning

It won't be terribly small but between it and the Mak it might be the better option

But the options aren't the most incredible to be honest

I'd suggest a canik

But I respect myself

I can't go that low for a joke

I mean it's a tool box gun, it doesn't exactly scream respectable

Only reason i even though of the mak is because of the size

That might be the best thing going for it

Id rather take one of those to put in my toolbox over my HKs

Especially in an area with tweakers

That's the only thing going for a Mak other than novelty in my mind

Don't make a choice on novelty, keep it far away from your mind while choosing defense options

Unless you have a full auto luger

I will accept that

Mak isnt bad if you're looking to do damage. 9x18 just likes to stay inside the target. Not a lot of energy but you can piss out your mag pretty easy.

just no

9x18 is even worse than .380 ACP because the quality defensive loads aren't there

a handful of loads exist

A handful at an expensense

and they don't all work

9Mak isn't good for SD

most .380 hollow points have lackluster performance

And the reason I purchased it is because it was cheap and I wanted one

That's fine, it's just not your best choice

better than no gun

True

A rock is better than nothing though

Browning Hi Power clone it is

Correctomundo

Although I don't know if Hi-powers like Self Defense rounds

they work better than 1911s

but, as with most things

You've sold me

I discovered that my 1911s don't like Hornady Critical Defense
