oldgray, I got my VEPR12 mags at www.k-var.com and www.atlanticfireams.com. You are correct the Russians have metal re-inforced locking lugs. I have two SGM mags and they are not as good as the Russians. All the best to everyone.

German Shepherd is the first line of defense. Unless perp gives her a treat then she's useless.  :)  Glock 29 is her backup.

This thread reminds me to develop a few scenarios that get me rousted out of bed and take defensive action.  I am always very worried about family playing tricks on me. Up until now I have been hoping that the best defense is strong doors and windows.  Nonetheless, I am never unarmed when home.  My secondary fear is over penetration.  I like the idea of a 20 gauge with #3 shot.

The BlunderBuss.. One in each hand!  ;D

If that fails then the Classic Walther PPQ Speer Gold Dot 9mm or Ruger GP100 357 depending on which side of the bed I'm on. 12G, AR or 454 lever rifle and revolver for the zombies...  ::)

I grew up in a house that was never locked! None of our neighbors locked their doors either unless we were going away. Most days people were coming and going so often visiting each other no one locked their doors. Today and living here our doors are closed and locked unless were coming or going. Note also that most exterior residential doors can be easily kicked in and entirely removed within minutes unless installed in a way to deter this or a bar device is installed. 99% of doors offer very little protection.

Mine is a simple 12 gauge side by side with exposed hammer's ( Coach Gun ) loaded with 00 buckshot.

Otherwise, my old snubnose .38 S&W I bought decades ago that I ware in the house so to try and used to carrying a firearm.

Glock 19 on my nightstand 43 for the wife. There's also a Mossberg 590 close at hand.

For me, it's my Sig Sauer P226 NSW with a Streamlight TLR-1S mounted to the frame rail and loaded up with 124 gr. Federal HST's.  I shoot Sigs very well, I've had this one the longest, and while it won't be winning any beauty contests, I've got a few thousand rounds downrange with it and no malfunctions of any kind.

Springfield 1911 in the drawer next to my bed and a Rugerr SR9 in the drawer on my wife's side of the bed.
Either one will do  the job.
