Curious if others keep a separate gun for home defense and everyday carry (EDC). Personally, I have a Glock 19X for home defense with a suppressor and flashlight. For EDC, I carry a Sig P365.
I like the idea of having specialized setups for each purpose. What do you all use?

Home defense is a 5.56 rifle for me. It’s reliable, effective, and I’ve practiced enough to trust it in a crisis.
Have you fired a 5.56 indoors? The noise is a whole other level of unpleasant, even with hearing protection. A good argument for a suppressor if your state allows it.
I keep a Beretta 92A1 in the nightstand with a light and laser. It’s larger and more accurate for home defense. My EDC is smaller and more portable because I don’t anticipate engaging targets across a mall or parking lot.
For home defense, I rely on long guns—either a 12-gauge or an AR-15. My EDC is a handgun, but it’s more of a backup if something goes bump in the night.

I like keeping the home defense setup more specialized. Suppressor on the Glock 19X for comfort indoors and a tactical light for better visibility.
How does the CGS Mod-9SK suppressor perform? I’m considering getting one.
