Billo_Really
Litre of the Band
My father had a .357 that fired magnum bullets. He called it, "Bula". And he wasn't afraid to use it. He killed a guy who tried to rob him with a knife. And he put a ringer past my uncle's ear when my step-sister told him my uncle tried to hit on her.Agreed Billo. Besides, if you need 30 rounds that you can shoot off in 30 sec. or less for home defense, you're a crappy shot and need more time at the range.
A .357 with a "hot load" will stop damn near anything, and it will reduce a gopher to a nice pink mist and pieces of fur. My Uncle Bill used to go after gophers with hot loads a couple of days after the loading parties we had for hunting season.
Besides.......................a bolt action rifle is much more accurate.
I was never a gun guy. If someone try's to rob me, I just throw up on my money.
