Top 5 Accessories Every Home Defense Handgun Should Have

About this video

Colion explains his five essential features for a home defense handgun, sharing why he transitioned away from his HK45 Tactical to guns like the FN 509 Tactical and Springfield Prodigy. He breaks down his criteria—weapon-mounted lights for target identification, red dot optics for faster aiming, suppressor-height backup iron sights, suppressor compatibility to protect hearing, and extended magazine capacity (at least 18 rounds)—and argues that these features optimize safety and effectiveness in a home defense scenario.

Key takeaways

• Colion emphasizes that a weapon-mounted light is critical to positively identify threats at night and avoid tragic mistakes involving family members
• According to Colion, red dot sights offer faster target acquisition and can be zeroed to specific home distances, with suppressor-height backup iron sights providing redundancy if the optic fails
• Colion advocates for suppressor-ready handguns to mitigate hearing damage and extended magazines (18+ rounds) to handle multiple intruders without reloading under stress
