Still, I prefer the Saiga 12 for home defense.

Ive been leery of taurus autos, but since youve shot so many rounds from yours it’ll probably be just fine.
I have a 9mm and a .45 in Taurus autos. The 9mm had a feed problem with the factory mags, which I solved with a small file and careful removal of material from the top of the mag. The .45 has been superb right out of the plastic hardcase, with both factory mags.
Actually, I have three Taurus pistols. I also have a Beretta lookalike which is a joy to shoot but the grip is large/fatter than the 24/7 9mm. Aftermarket mags have to be ‘tuned’ for the Beretta knockoff, but I have altered Beretta 30 rnd mags to work just fine in the knockoff.
My buddy has the compact 10 shot taurus 45 auto..that I cant seem to remember the model number of. Im thinking of trading him out of it for a woods carry gun.
Probably the 24/7. I prefer the OSS DS .45 because of the mag capacity and the feel in my hand when shooting it. I even throw a few hollow points down range each visit, so I remember the feel ... it is slightly different from ball ammo shots.
Just put 80 rounds through it today (today was family range day).
(Nobody will give you a hard time about putting a recoil pad on a Mosin. They kick like a friggin’ mule.)
Rifle, sling, bayonet, ammo pouches = $79 on sale at Dunhams.
It ain't pretty. But I don't care. All of my weapons are for shooting. A lot.
But my late-night 'oh crap, what was that' weapon is the bedside companion, a .40 S&W Taurus OSS with decocker, single or double action. Holds fifteen and one up the spout. The decocker allows a chambered round in a hammerless pistol so there is not even the clicking of the hammer going back or the thumb safety disengaging on a 1911. Eats hollow points or flat nose without a hitch.
The Taurus OSS DS in .45 ACP is also very good for reliability and effective wound infliction. It also comes with a decocker and you can get it with night sights. There is also a rail for a laser, should you want one for off hand shooting.
Anyone have a line on a glock 19 to .22 lr conversion with a higher capacity than 10 rds?
The feral yutes are running in packs and herds. Need more ammo to stack a row of flesh up to slow down the survivors for careful targeting.
Still, I prefer the Saiga 12 for home defense.
Oh my, I’m so envious!
☺
Oh nooooo, if you’re allowing the fed to withhold that much, you’re being used! My next acquisition if some sort of .45 ACP carbine. I may go with the Hi-Point, if the mags will function in their JHP .45 ACP hand boulder. ... I settled my concealed carry issues long ago, so everyhting is about HD for me, and mine where they live.
The only .45 carbines I know of are the Hi Point, the Marlin .45 camp carbine (out of production)
And the Shansei .45 C96 Mauser with shoulder stock/holster.(also out of production but very cool)

Awesomely awesome!
and expensive...about a grand.
For that price I got the 9mm Sterling carbine with 6 sterling mags and a WWII mag pouch.
The 7.62x25 Sterling and 3 modified Sten mags.
I added leather HK G3 slings because I had a few laying around and they worked perfectly.
Yep...for just over a $1,200.00 I picked up two Ruger P89s with 15 rd capacity and a PC9 carbine that uses the same mags.
