[Las Vegas Ron]

It’s been awhile and I forget the arguments pro and con between those two weapons.

Here's a good synopsis, about a third of the way down the page under: Best Caliber Handgun for Self-Defense

Thanks for all the comments, everyone, and the link, Las Vegas Ron... which is a bit of iRonic since the place where I lived when I last owned a gun was, in fact, Las Vegas.

I’m going to go to a gun shop with a firing range in the basement and try out a few of these suggestions. I’m particularly interested in Eric’s suggestion of a Glock. I at least want to look at that, even though I am still partial to the .357 which, as several people mentioned, can handle the .38 loads.

Who knows. Maybe I’ll end up buying TWO guns!

Thanks again, everyone.
