I’m leaning .357

Snake shot to Magnum Hollow Points.

Pistols...
Lever Actions...
DERRINGERS in .38 .

NO SCARY BLACK GUNS!

Hmmm. Dan Wesson 6 inch and a SS Rossi lever action. Dang ammo is expensive though. .38 or .357

May I offer a vote for 9mm in your debate? Your options with 9mm are infinite. Every possible handgun model comes in a 9 version. The current trend for compact carry pistols like the M&P Shield or Glock 43 can be easily purchased at great prices in 9mm. Numerous Carbine options like the CZ Scorpion Evo or Sig MCX are in 9. Not to mention ammo prices.

.357 offers none of these.

Not to mention that “the opposition” is likely to be carrying it as well for one to scavange should the opportunity arise.

As you both have different opinions and thoughts, you can see why I debate.
There is good reasoning on both sides. I started Cowboy guns as a boy and now(82) am looking for defensive items. I have a few Ruger convertibles and a Browning Hi Power(bought new 91).
I love Levers and Carbines
I have shot .357 shot with snake shot, years ago. Got them in
Hollywood, Fl., gun shop. I believe, 4-5 pellets, per round.
Thanks to you both and have many Great Days!

Don’t hold your breath on any clarification about this gobbledygook. Someone that really doesn’t know much of anything about guns is just trying to put as many anti-gun talking points as possible into one article. It’s not like you can buy just one gun for self defense that is going to be adequate for all situations. Ammo is now better, so you can actually get by with a smaller gun in many cases. But in the case of a terrorist attack or widespread “zombie uprising” you may need some extra firepower.

I have a friend who owns a .50 caliber revolver. Now that’s larger caliber!

What caliber?
Is it a large caliber rock?
Is it a deadly rock?
Is it an assault rock?
Is it a black rock?
How many do you have?
Do you have a large capacity container for transporting multiple rocks?

You’re 100% right, of course; I was just being facetious.

I recently sold my S&W 460V (.460 Magnum). It’s good for all North American game. For elephants you’d need your friend’s .50.
