I'm new to this site and am picking up a ton of information ( faster than I can process it all ! )
I'm looking for suggestions for a home defense handgun. My carry weapon is a .38 spec S&W 642 which is also my home defense gun currently. From reading here I see that opinions vary so I'm just looking for some thoughts before I purchase my next gun. I'm mostly trying to decide if a .45, .40 or .357 is the best buy.
( I have 9m and .32 and really want to add to my collection as well ).
I use +P ammo in my .38 , but have seen a few different thoughts here regarding the best home defense ammo. ( hollow point Vs semi wad cutter).
I've been shooting for about 50 years (since about 8 years old) but only in the past couple of years when I retired did I decide to get my carry permit and become more serious about really learning about more than the couple of guns my dad gave me....So I'm trying to catch up on what I should long ago have learned ! I'd appreciate any suggestions.
