Preppers’ PING!!
For handguns the writer seems to favor semiautomatics. I will generally agree - to a point. For things that go bump in the night I favor a double action revolver - mine is a .357 mag. The double action’s harder trigger pull give you some additonal time to be sure of your target and back off. Some semi’s are not as forgiving, except for those who can be set up for a double action first trigger pull. A revolver is simpler in operation - key if deaing with a middle of the night event. However, during awake periods, semi’s offer more rounds and good fire power.
