Have you considered a 357 Magnum? This is the most versatile and reliable handgun. A 357 takes 9mm, 38, 38 special, 357 special and 357 magnum.
This is not only good for home defense but also when SHTF.
9mm,,,Oooopsie.??
9mm is rimless - you would need to attach moon clips to shoot them out of a 357 revolver. Not a good combo.

My choice as well. I like the simplicity and reliability of a revolver. It’s like a big club - crude but effective.
That's a revolver. Five or six shots and you're out of the fight. There's a reason no police department or the military uses revolvers. They're antiquated museum pieces in today's devolving civilization.
