RE: All Around Hand Gun
Well I have to agree with the majority, the only two handguns that I own are a Ruger GP100 4" and a Springfield Armory 1911 45, for a home defense gun i would suggest the 357 if for no other reason than the option to shoot .38 loads which I feel are better suited for home defense and with the weight of the Ruger you'll have barely any muzzle flip at all.
