BTW, I'm seriously considering one of these:

It's possible to buy it in a variety of calibers for stopping bad guys, and also buy a conversion
kit to fire a .22 long rifle round for cheap target practice.
Good idea, huh?

It's too big for concealed carry of course. If you just want
something for inexpensive target practice, there are better guns such
as the S&W 41, Ruger III or an old High Standard Supermatic.
For home defense something like a 38 Special revolver is probably the
safest.
But a 38 special doesn't have the phallus power that he's looking for.
Why do you have to do a double tap with 9mm? Because it isn't a .45!
I find it interesting that when the military is equipping guys who
actually have to shoot people, they do not give them M9s
The Marines just bought 12,000 .45 Colts, a 1911 variant.
Back when the big fad was to arm police with 9mm sidearms, it got a few cops killed. I like to target practice with mine, but if I has a crackhead coming at me with intent, I'd definitely want something with more stopping power. My .45 ACP or .44 Mag should do nicely.
