The only problem with using an expensive handgun for Home Defense is that If you ever have to shoot someone (in your home, justifiably) the gun will be "Impounded" in many states....you may even lose the gun permanently.
How much money are you willing to risk?
Things to consider:
Can everyone in the family handle a large caliber handgun?
Can you afford the ammo for practice?
How thin are the walls in your home?
Shotguns are cheap to buy and shoot and they are effective.

What do you think about a .32 H&R Magnum revolver?

a m1911 or a 45.

YOU CANNOT CANNOT SHOOT .357 IN A 38 REVOLVER!

You are right I agree with you the best choice would be the 9mm it is cheaper to train with. A few days ago I picked up new Kimber CDP full size 1911 and will have buy 45 ACP rounds on line at the tune of 190 bucks for 500 rounds plus there us a break in period. My next chic would be the Sig P226 9mm.

Your first home defense handgun should be a shotgun. 12 gauge pump, model 870 is perfect. Like the old adage goes. "You only use your handgun to fight your way back to your rifle."

"One Shot Drop" is a myth...more or less
I am a lifelong handgun shooter, name it and I've shot it..
BUT my Home Defense weapon of choice is a 20Ga shotgun cut down to 18 in.
(Or as short as you want if you pay the $200 Tax for a Class III Weapon)
12 Ga and 20 Ga shotguns (loaded correctly) are the only weapons civilians can buy that are PROVEN Man Stoppers. (16Ga and 10Ga too but have fewer load options)
Ballistic Studies (and Mythbusters) agree, shotguns are the deal.
I "carry" a S&W 642.

@noblinger What does this have to do with this video? I'll answer your question anyway, this video is in MY computer room, in MY house that I pay for with MY job that I earned with 22 years of service and 8 certifications. Your question seems to be condescending so I am answering in the same tone. If you were not, then I am sorry in advanced.

Just went to Amazon and checked out that book. I read the forward and was hooked! That is a perfect explanation, and great analogies to give to the anti gun people that want to debate. Thanks!
