RE: All Around Hand Gun
Some of you might think I'm crazy, but I use a Browning buckmark .22lr. I haven't had to use it on a person but it penetrates through 9" of wet phone book. Almost no kick and extremely rapid shots. Very cheap to shoot and great on small game. I know that it doesn't have the "knock down" power of the .357, but I figure at ten feet it will do the job just fine.
