I guess as an old-timer, I'll have to be the voice of reason here.
!st I'm a moderate w/liberal bias.
that being said, if I were to carry, it'd be a 4" barrel iver johnson tp22.
Silly, huh?
I could shoot a couple hundred rounds a week (silly cheap ammo), almost no recoil, it's less than an inch thick, uncle ben makes a holster inside the waistband that holds an extra clip.
If I shot remington yellowjacket hollow points (I might have a couple hundred laying around) with a 1,900 fps velocity out of a 4" barrel, they'd probably fragment on impact
@ 15-20ft.
Then for when the teeming masses run into my yard to storm my DI for parts,
I'd greet them with a winchester ranger pump (unplugged) with an alternating mix of #2 shot, then 1oz. rottweil hollows, shot, hollow, etc.
By then, the person complaining to 911 about their food order being screwed up should be finished, I'll call the police.
But I'm just old skool, I guess
Hugs,greg

a dream gun to own IF you can find one is a old Belgian made Browning Hi-Power 9mm.
my dad has had one since he was much younger then i am now. that has always been one of my favorite handguns to shoot and i often borrow it and go to the range or woods to plink with it.

It all depends on what you intend to use the gun for. Yeah a 10mm has good ballistics, so good that it will kill the intruder...go through 2 layers of drywall and kill your kid sleeping in the next room.

so your saying a Barret 50 cal is not an ideal anti home invasion weapon?,,,,
There is always such a thing as to much.
That is why I use a .380, 2 rounds to the chest will stop a man in his tracks, he may not be dead but he aint movin'.
You can handle the recoil with one hand, can hold, steady and shoot with one hand but wont kill your neighbor when you miss.
You dont use a 10 gauge when squirrel hunting so why use a .45 for home defense?
The FBI, CIA, Police etc. are dealing with heavily armed and prob flak vested bad guys so they need the extra power, not to mention that they have to practice all the time so that they dont miss.
If somebody breaks in and wants your brand new 42" HD TV, let them have it, if they want your wife, kill them.
The TV can be replaced, your wife cannot...unless she is like my first wife.

a real man never lets his TV go without a fight,,,,
i'd shoot through the TV to kill a guy on principle alone.
