Just got a S&W 59. Over 30 years old. Well broken in. Accurate too. My first weap...er... pistol ever (not pc to call it a weapon, I’m told). Not sure I want HP for home defense ammo. The 9mm should have good takedown capacity by itself. Being an attorney, I’d kinda like the perp to survive, so I can grow my business. :) Thoughts?

LOL, I stay away from the 9mm vs other arguments. Just about any caliber has stopping (they don't want to play anymore) capability. I like my .357 because it is highly regarded as THE round that will take the gumption out of a bad guy. Secondly, since my revolver can handle .38 spec, I can spend more range time with cheaper ammo.
