I have had tons of people message me about purchasing AK-74's. They say "Are AK-74's reliable, accurate, etc."? So let me outline my experience with the AK-74's I have shot and used over the years.

If that fits you, then I am unsure why you are reading this in the

What is the most important thing when defending yourself with a gun? Ammo? Stance? Quality of gun parts? Holster placement? .45 ACP vs 9mm? None of these are the most important thing when defending yourself with a gun (or in general). For a while now I have seen people drone on about how to setup a self/home defense or concealed carry gun. Hell, even I have! The most important thing is your damn brain.
