Default RE: All Around Hand Gun

"No wheelgun's going to defend a home better than a .45 acp, you're gonna get a faster cycle rate, less recoil, and more shots." Again your logic is flawed. Since Gscuttles admits to being unfamiliar with handguns that probably means that he is also unfamiliar with how to clear jams and all those other little things you need to know to be proficient with a semi-auto pistol. Anyone can pick up a double-action revolver in the heat of battle and fire it without having to worry about things like, is the safety on, is the hammer cocked, is it going to jam, etc. A good 357 Mag round will be as effective as a 45 ACP. As far as more rounds I can think of two different 357 Mag revolvers that hold eight rounds. Besides, if you need more than six you aren't in a gunfight, you are in a war and need to call in an airstrike. The recoil of a good medium weight or heavy 357 Mag is not going to be that much more noticeable than that aggrivating muzzle jump of the 45, and if the shots are on target, who gives a rat's butt about cyclic rate.
