1) For a range gun/ home defense, Do I go with G22 or G22C?

2)Light and laser combo or Crimson Trace laser and buy light with no laser?
or
3)Lasermax and a light?

OK, notlooking for a chocie of a home weapon. I do need a home/range handgun. I also want a laser and light. But which way should I go?

No compensated models...the flash will blind you in low light. I, personally, wouldn't go for a laser or a light. I'd go with a hand held xenon, like a surefire, with a button on the tailcap so you can spot it on and off really quickly to keep from giving away your position.

For real home defense...I reccommend a Mossberg.....and if you run out of shells you can beat them to death with the stock.

Edited for spelling.

Another vote for a Mossberg M590 shot gun for home defense. With 9 round capacity and the capability of attachment of a bayonet, I think any intruder will usually get the picture with the sound of the first rack of the action.

A Surefire 6P, Streamlight Scorpion, or any equivalent hand held light would be ideal for a wider range of use and not be limited to being stuck on your weapon. Having a light fixed on your weapon is just not a good idea in a home defense situation. That light just gives the bad guy a nice bright target to shoot back at and where are you usually holding your weapon? Directly in front of your face. Intermittent use of light to identify the target along with moving positions directly after extinguishing the light is usually the best method in low light encounters.

The Glock 22 is a very good weapon, but if you are looking for home defense only, then the shotgun is the best choice.
Definitely stay away from a compensated model as mentioned in KY_PO
