I had a S/W .357 w/ 6" barrel and Packmayr grips. Love'd It!! Wish I never sold it

I'd go with a Revolver, less chance of jamming when fired. Plus you don't have to think if you put a bullet in the chamber. - jmho

I also had a 4516 semi auto. It was a 7 shot 45 cal. Excellant handgun for home protection. You could put a bullet in the chamber, take the clip out, and the trigger would get disengaged. Making the gun useless without the clip.

Loved that one too, but sold it
