Folks worrying about multiple attackers... if you shoot one guy, the others won't attack you. No one wants to get shot. The biggest problem with a gun is when someone pulls it, but doesn't have the follow-through to actually use it. A gun is only a useful detterant if assailants know you'll use it. Shoot 1 guy...the others will get the message, and it's game over for them. Now, if you're facing a bunch of armed-assailants...wtf are you doing that you're surrounded by armed assailants?!

For the laymen, a small revolver is good. No worrying about separate clips, loading separate clips, etc. For a laymen, don't buy into the whole "stopping power" and thing. You're not buying the gun to kill someone, you're using it as a threat deterrant. Most folks will back down at the mere thought of getting shot, regardless of where they may get shot. In a real threat situation, usually a shot to the leg or some place else, even with a small-caliber weapon, is enough to deter someone.

my chosen self defence handgun: glock 20 10mm forget the over penetration,, i got no kids or neighbors

Why is he only looking at little ass guns. Im 6'6" and have a big hand. I dont think I could comfortably shoot any of the guns he shows in this video

@EtiamSiOmnesEgoNon I agree with being comfortable with it and getting the initial shots on target is crucial.

But as far a civilian needing a wheelgun over a semiauto, the semi auto just gives you more options. You may be proficient with your 357 and put down one attacker..but im just saying there isn't always just one guy, there could be 2 or more of his buddies (bad guys dont fight fair) Id rather have 10 more rounds than an empty revolver

I want to buy a .45 pistol glock?how much?and the problem is, im in the Philippines...how could i bought it?

[EtiamSiOmnesEgoNon]

@GojiraRR Yes, human beings sometime do not go down easy. However a couple of 357 rounds in the chest will get the attention of even the most pumped up idiot.

You may be right about the need to reengage opponents. Your military background gives you an advantage... and a bias. But I wonder how many newbie gun buyer will train hard enough to be able to really engage multiple threats with any effectiveness.

I guess it is my own bias: I have seen to many people spraying rounds with little accuracy.

[EtiamSiOmnesEgoNon]

@GojiraRR It is a very valid point, and I think our respective points are not mutually exclusive.

Within the limited arena of selecting a selfdefence gun for civilian use, my point was that "comfort" and initial accuracy were much more important than capacity. And that in selecting a weapon I would favor the one that gives me those 2 initial killing shots above having a large clip. Nothing wrong with having a 15 rds mag but it should not be the prime consideration.

@EtiamSiOmnesEgoNon I agree with your other post about practice practice practice..I think everyone that owns a firearm should do this or not own one! I would be more afraid of a woman with a .22 that has spend thousands of rounds training and behind her gun with the will to defend her life than a man with a .45 that thinks he "has what it takes" in firepower to make up for training and practice

Also, who says every human being goes down in 2 shots? Im not nocking your instructor but from my background in Marine infantry..sometimes they just don't go down that easy. Put all you have into them..if there are multiple attackers put 2-4 into the first most harmful threat, work to the others and come back to the first guy
