How To Setup Your Home Defense AR-15

Nice vid. Run a very simple set up. Holosun sight, Olight flashlight, magpul iron sights. Nothing fancy and gets the job done.

what is that bad boy on the upper left??

All bullets penetrate it’s just more and less.

There’s no such thing as over penetration. Just more and less. Any gun you can stop the bad guys with is a good gun.

I put a small piece of foam rubber on my stock to know where to put my cheek EVERY time. Best thing I've ever done. Consistency, I have found, makes me shoot better.

I got the Sig romeo 5 and it also has that sleep mode when not it use. Barely move your rifle and it turns on. $150 at Academy. Love it

or no flashlight with eotech nvg

My HD rifle setup:
14.5” BCM ELW fluted
Magpul MBUS pro backup irons
Surefire mini scout pro
Trijicon MRO
Geissele SSA trigger
BCM ambi charging handle
Blue force 2 point sling

I went through a whole debacle a few years back on picking an home defense gun and I settled on a 9mm PCC. For me, it came down to sound level. A rifle or shotgun will almost certainly destroy your hearing if fired in an enclosed space, but 9mm indoors is tolerable for a brief period. Using a handgun is ideal, but with a PCC, you have a more stable platform, and you have the same, if not more capacity. Not too worried about stopping power as 9mm is plenty when you know what you're doing.

Waiting on Streamlight to make that HLX-Laser in green.

Honestly I love my Sig MPX with Romeo 8T and Streamlight with strobe feature loaded with Hornady Critical Defense and yep a sling because I may have to get one of my kiddos out of the way and only have one hand to fire.

.223 round actually has less than penetration than 9mm and other pistol calibers according to several studies making it one of the best homedefense rounds.

Also a big thing I've seen that people need to think about when you are using a AR-15 pistol ext for home defense please be mindful on what type of rounds you are using think about you're neighbors you don't need the green tip 556 rounds for home defense go get some good 223 hollow points they will do the job green tip for you're truck gun I understand

I wonder why you'd rather select a rifle over a pistol?. I feel like a pistol is easier to maneuver. You can still have a red dot and high capacity magazines. Just wondering 🙂

Some poor fuck is gonna hear the loud screeching of my velcro as I put on my plate carrier lol.

how to setup your home defence ar15…. it has to be a shootgun … simple and effective … and if your aim isnt perfect you will still take away a chunk of the intruder no matter where you hit

Do real soldiers attach flashlights to their rifles? It seems like a flashlight would give away your position to an adversary.

AR for me all day everyday. My M16 clone is my preferred choice loaded with 62 grain soft points with a lpvo and a wml. I use it for everything from plinking, hd, and hunting.

I don’t know about any of y’all but the only ammo I can find in abundance and thats not subject for a ridiculous amount of mark up is for plastic pellets.

1st AR-15 buy it stock and add things to it.
2nd BUILD YOUR OWN!

🙏🏼

AR-15 is the best!

Don't turn your red dot brightness too low for night time so that you can see the dot with your white light on. I'd rather have it too bright than have the light flood it out. Just sayin.

Great vid. You got all the important points. Ammo type is important. Getting an optic with a shake awake feature is a really good call. Mounting a reliable flashlight that can be easily activated from your C-grip is a big deal. I've got a custom 5.56 build with a 16" barrel. I have a Sig Sauer Romeo5 and a 45° mounted 250 lumen flashlight. I keep it next to my bed, with a 2-point sling held to the stock with a ranger band. I have young kids, so I have to keep the loaded magazine (loaded with red polymer tips) in a gun vault next to it.

Good comment on the training, my neighbor was asking me why I own an AR with surefire as well(he said it's to much of a firearm) one I like to range shoot, and then I said is I spent 8 years in the marines, primary home defense is my pistols….but if i need the AR i have it….he had no response!

Clint, does anyone manufacture an actual home defense round, that won't travel so far?

Love the LWRC, I just can't afford one, Clint…. Rich man 🤣🤣

I still feel the shotgun is a better choice… Though a pistol is still my favorite. But, I have it all so there's that….

As an instructor from way back,you are very good.

That’s nice man, my neighbor is 8 feet away 😭

Body armor and electronic ear pro if you had the time is not a bad idea either

Iron sights with a flashlight or red dot with a flash light on a AR 15 for home defense?? I feel more accurate with iron sights but just wanting opinions.

What about my HD X95??

I absolutely Agree with you on needing a flashlight on your home defense AR. Anyone who says otherwise is a moron! 🤷🏾‍♂️😂
