“I already have a .357 revolver for home defense”
Just be sure you have something else to shoot at night. The muzzle flash from a .357 will blind you for a minute or more and leave you unable to defend yourself or your family.....
Yes, extremely good point (would apply to a marauding coyote or dog at night too, even if at modest range): After test firing it at night I backed the .357 revolver down to sort of “last resort” at night for that very reason.
