I agree. I own an HK-91 and and AR-15 and if I had to carry one very far with accompanying ammo I would definately carry the AR. For home protection I have a .45 Kimber and a 12 guage Mossberg with 3 inch 000 buck.
My 12 gauge Winchester 1300 has a pistol grip at both ends. I didn't like it at first, but I like it now. I have more left hand control.
Take care and stay safe!!!
