A question to you all.....what is the best revolver (not pistol, revolver) that can be used for "home defense"?
My thinking is that the report should be extremely loud, and the round accurate up to about 30 yards.
So.....?

Yeah. Any .357 will do you well. Colt, S&W, Taurus. No more than four inch barrel I’d think.

Best for home defense is a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with “00” buckshot. It hard to miss and lethal enough to stop a black bear.

"My thinking is that the report should be extremely loud, and the round accurate up to about 30 yards."44 Special -- unless you have hands and arms like "Ahnuld" -- then go with 44 Magnum...

Buy a Rossi .357 with four inch barrel and chamber it with .38 special +P hydra Shoks. Buy two speed loaders for it and practice by shooting .38 special rounds through it.
If you can handle an auto loader, the Taurus OSS DS in .45 ACP holds twelve in the mags and one up the pipe and takes an under frame laser. Very good home defense weapon if you can't reach a shotgun.

Yeah, .357 mag is ideal. Load it with a slow powder such as H110 and the resulting report and fireball are quite impressive.

All else being equal, I would want a .357 Magnum cartridge.
Revolvers from Colt, Ruger, Taurus, S&W, and Charter Arms all seem good or excellent quality. Find one that’s heavy enough to tame the recoil, light enough to hold easily. A 4” barrel seems about right to me. Aftermarket stocks from Hogue, Pachmayr, etc can improve handling greatly.

You must live in a very large house.
What happens if myou fire off a couple of rounds, inside your house, from a .357 and miss the target?
