If I bought a gun, I would probably by a 9mm Beretta, I've shot one a
couple of times and quite liked it. A friend has a... damn, I forget,
possibly a Glock 9mm that was also quite nice.

I am much closer to the anti-gun wackos than the pro gun wackos in most
respects. I think large capacity magazines should be illegal and I think
there should be restrictions on who can buy guns and how many. I support
restrictions on ammunition types. No one needs to own an AR-15 or AK-47.

I think the NRA Gun Lobby is an embarrassment to the human race, and
their fanatical stance is disgusting.

I've tried three different models of 9mm pistols and with each one, the
mechanism jammed when the expended shell casing did not fully eject. 
The range monitor told me that I have a weak wrist which takes too much
of the recoil, not leaving enough for the firearm to operate.  So I
opted for a revolver instead.

I'm not going to get into the politics of it, though.

The big problem is those folks who buy a firearm for defense/protection 
and then never use it. If you own a firearm you have a responsibility 
to train and maintain a proficiency with that weapon. There is little 
point in owning a fire arm for what might be a single life threatening 
event and not being able to actually use it to protect yourself. 
Therefore it stands to reason, if you choose to own a firearm you 
should should select one you are comfortable shooting and are prepared 
to train with so that you have control of the weapon in a stressful 
situation.
You cannot beat a good revolver for reliability and functionality, but 
it should be a quality firearm and quality can be costly.

As I have said, there isn't much better for home defense than a 
shotgun. There is also the old adage for defense and combat shooting, 
"You use your pistol to get to your long gun."

I have never owned a 9mm My favorite defense/carry weapon is a Kimber 
CDP custom, which is a 1911 type .45 ACP. My other carry weapon is a 
.40 S&W Glock M23. I am proficient with both. However, compared with 
the Kimber and other handguns I own, it is simple and crude, with a not 
particularly good trigger, but it will work under the most adverse 
conditions. I also own several target handguns two of which I have 
owned for some 50+ years. As a retired peace officer I have an 
opportunity to shoot regularly and maintain my qualifications with my 
carry weapons. (not that they get out of the house these days other 
than going to the range, or on a road trip.)

So, here is some of my little handgun collection and some of what they 
are capable of in trained hands.

Yep, that's exactly why I don't own a gun.

Damn! That is one ugly piece!
...and a .32 to boot. I would hate to have any woman I know put their 
trust in that very obvious POS revolver.

If they are looking for a lightweight handgun a woman might be 
comfortable with, and with the reliability of a revolver, I would 
strongly recommend looking at one of the small J-frame S&W 38 Specials.

Why should I?  It's a .32 caliber revolver, and I can handle a .357
magnum revolver.

You can shoot .38 through your .357 for practice (though you should 
shoot some practice .357's as well).

But for home defense you might be better off with a 9mm or 10mm that you 
can control with more ammo in the mag than a revolver.

10mm is a harsh round to fire, double taps are not easy and there is a 
tendency for over penetration. That isn't a good thing inside a home. 
The FBI looked to the 10mm to replace the .38 Special as their official 
weapon after a notorious Florida shootout which resulted in several 
agents being killed and disabled. They subsequently found it was not a 
practical combat round and have pretty much gone to the .40 S&W, and 
the good old .45 ACP.

Our agency went from .38 Special +P. to 9mm, to .40 S&W which is now 
the standard.

For home defense a consideration should always be potential over 
penetration indoors, and the .357 mag, 9mm, & 10mm all have that 
potential. I will stick with my "flying ashtray" the .45 ACP and/or a 
shot gun.

If the gun is a 357/38sp I would use either Glaser Safety slugs, or 
MagSafe rounds for home defense, not FMJ or JHP ammo.
As far as needing more ammo goes, if you can't get it done with 6 shots 
you are in trouble, and a good double action revolver can remove some 
of the issues related to operator foul up under stress to be found with 
automatics. Like not having a round in the chamber, safety on, no 
magazine in the gun, all of which does happen.

Amen to that... If you need a reload, you were probably hosed before the 
first shot was fired.

And again, the Amen corner pipes up. 

There's wisdom behind the "six for certain" mindset. MUCH wisdom.

Excuse me but, since most uses of guns at home are to kill the wife in a
uncontrollable rise of rage because she keeps nagging you to take the
garbage out, why do you need to reload ?

And if it is to defend youself against an intruder/thief, again, do you
need multiple rounds ? If with 6 bullets you can't hit the one thief,
should you have the right to own a gun in the first place ?

Clearly you have zero knowledge of guns aside from what you've seen on 
the TV or movie screen (Hint: Despite what the movies and TV show you, 
just because you point a gun and pull the trigger doesn't mean the bad 
guy will stop coming, or even be hit - a gun isn't a magic wand), or the 
ravings of gun-phobic idiots in the press.

When you've got more substantial knowledge than that, I'll be more than 
happy to have a discussion with you. Until then, well, some old advice 
about the perils of trying to teach a goat to sing comes to mind.

Who said "one"?!? Or, do you not have Home Invasions regularly in your neck
'o the woods. In these parts, it takes place daily where three or four thugs
knock on the door and when the resident answers, they overpower the whole
household, either incapacitate or kill them, while they proceed load up the
waiting drivers vehicle with all of the homeowners' belongings and take off.

What a simplistic view you have. Intruders are very sneaky, and surprise
is a huge factor. Can you wake up from a slumber and hit a target every
time? Doubt that. Use your imagination a little more.

Shooting real people doesn't happen to many people at all.  And when it 
does, that other person usually doesn't want to be shot.  If you scare 
them off, you've done as much as is actually needed.  If they keep 
coming it's easier and easier to hit as they get closer - assuming you 
haven't sprayed all your clip away and you don't panic.

CW is the defender has the odds-on advantage, but reality is that most 
people are never ready when it actually happens.

Correct. There are only a handful of Law Enforcement officers who are 
compelled to fire their duty weapons while on the job for other than 
punching paper when going through annual & quarterly qualifying.

Firing for any reason when not on the range is unusual and has to be 
explained (in California anyway) as a use of force. That is for just 
firing the weapon. If you actually hit somebody with one of your 
bullets there is a completely different level of scrutiny. After 25+ 
years in Law enforcement I have never had to fire my duty weapon at 
another person. I have used my duty weapon to euthanize 2 deer, one 
wild pig, one raccoon badly injured by vehicles. I personally know of 7 
of those I worked with who have had to shoot a person while on duty, 
two of those were fatal shootings.

It is a much rarer event than some folks might believe. Of course just 
drawing your weapon to secure a situation, provide coverage during an 
incident, or effecting an arrest happens much more frequently.

>   And when it does, that other person usually doesn't want to be shot.

That is why verbal commands are considered part of the escalation of 
"use of force". It is also why the racking sound of a pump shotgun has 
stopped and cleared many situations.

It is never easy. Adrenaline plays a big part. Training and discipline 
are key for all gun owners.

BTW: never say you just fired a warning shot. When it comes to 
justification for firing a weapon and escalating to a use of deadly 
force, you shoot to stop a threat or attack which a reasonable person 
would believe would result in death or serious injury.
Hit a bystander or anybody, and say that you "just fired a warning 
shot" it is time for you to find a criminal defense attorney.

Never. That brings us back to the gun owner's responsibility to train.

I've heard justice department people here say that if you're going to 
fire only shoot kill shots.  The civil case that results if you wound an 
assailant is not worth merely wounding them.

Ah crap!  We're in violent agreement again.

There are at least two other concerns/problems with shooting to wound.

You have to be a damned good shot to wound a person deliberately.  Most
firearms owners just aren't that good of a shot.

Even if you do wound someone, he's usually still able to shoot back.
