Ok, so what brought this is on, is I keep reading the .357 Mag is the best man stopper in a handgun. There are so many choices out there. I know most folks won't carry a 500 S&W or a .44 mag but for home defense wouldn't that work better than a .357 mag? Would a .357 Sig be better since it has a higher capacity?
So I'd like to settle the debate once and for all what you consider to be the best man stopper (outside rifles and shot guns).
What handgun would you reach for when something goes bump in the night and why? There are so many things to consider, caliber, capacity, semi vs revolver, barrel length, etc.
Also, this is outside "what you can shoot the best", "what ever you practice with the most", "whatever you carry everyday", "shot placement" etc.
I think we all know, if you miss, it's useless.
Please vote and tell us why.
Thanks.
