    Let's see...
    Hi point C9. It's a good, solid pistol. And a spare magazine.
    Hi Point 995, it's a wonderfully capable little carbine, and has ammo commonality with my sidearm.
    Chiappa badger shotgun. It folds, uses 9mm flobert, and is perfect for everything.

    Oh, let's see. I'd go with a Sig P226 in .40 bought as a LE trade in. Add in barrels for .357 Sig and 9mm, plus a bunch of mags too. That's about $1100 down.

    For a rifle, I'd go with a good quality 14.5" AR with light and Eotech. Add a quality 20" upper and decent optic plus a bunch of mags. That's probably around $2500 for $3600 so far.

    For the shotgun, I'd pick up a Mossberg 500 with a couple of different barrels, a side saddle and add a red dot. Call that $1200. With the remaining $700, I'd pick up as much ammo as I could and have some fun getting to know everything.

    Tell me the ideal 3 gun, handgun/rifle/shotgun, home defense set-up. $5500 budget.
    Glock 19 ($550) with Surefire x300U ($300) - $850 total

    BCM or SOLGW ($1800) with Modlite PLHv2 set up ($400) and T2 with quality mount ($900) - $3300 total

    Langdon Tactical 1301 ($1800) with Steiner MPS ($425) - $2225 total

    Grand total $6375. Throw in a few Ferro Slings and you’re sitting right at $6500 and have quality firearms that you can depend on. If you needed to trim the $1000 I’d hold off on the RDS for the shotgun, maybe look at some refurbished lights, run a standard mount on the T2, etc.

    Ok given the budget ...I think I'd stock up on ugly dogs and pineapple pizza, that should keep the bad guys away ...

    If it doesn't work, sig 320, 12.5 inch AR, and a good semi auto shotgun, versamax or Benelli. I'd spend the rest of the money on really good optics, mags, and of course ammo. Do they make body armor with a pocket for pizza? I get hungry when I have to work.

    No guns.

    $5400 on red strobe lights, fog machines, and sound system with speakers in each room blaring "let the bodies hit the floor". Other $100 on a leather thong, a bottle of baby oil, and 3 flea market Bowie knives. First sign of a bad guy I'm hitting the button to start the lights/fog/sound, slapping on the thong, dumping the oil on me, grabbing a knife in each hand and one between my teeth and charging out.

    Are you looking for a setup based on what I paid for them?

    Springfield XD compact 10mm wearing an Olight Valkyrie light, backed up with 4 magazines. $850

    Yougslavian M70 under folder AK, backed by 8 magazines.
    $350 in 90's money.

    Winchester model 12
    5 rounds of 2 3/4 9 pellet steel buckshot and a slug at the end for good measure. Slam fire baby!
    Inheritance, so no cost to me. My father shelled out $60 for it in 1962 money at a pawn shop.

    I tend to be happy with what I have. The XD replaced an HK USP9 I have owned since the 90s and paid around $450 for.

    So in other words, a typical Friday night at Printcraft's.

    Two very large, overly-barky, light-sleeping dogs: $1100, plus maintenance.
    One Glock 21 Gen4 & 3 magazines packed with Federal 230gr HST (total 40 rounds): ~$600.
    1 Sig-Sauer P365XL, 1 Sig-Sauer P365 w/XL grip, 4-12round magazines packed w/147gr HST (total 50 rounds): ~$1500.

    If I had to have a shotgun, it would be a 20" Mossberg 590, stoked w/2-3/4" #4 Buckshot. I don't feel the need.
    If I had to have a rifle, I'd move to a safer place. Perhaps Eastern Ukraine?
