Thanks to Blindjustice, I am looking at CZ. I looked at the CZ 75B and it is a nice firearm. I did see they also have a .45 auto (CZ 97B) - I may be on to something! http://www.czub.cz/index.php?p=32&idp=1&ids=3&idz=15&lang=en

Thanks Mike PGS - Many have been talking about a 12 gauge shotgun - I already have a Remington 870 Express pump action 12 ga. I want a hand gun. I find the L-O-N-G shotgun unwieldy in close quarters.

RE: Blindjustice - THANKS - That is EXACTLY what I was looking for, a straight-forward knowledgeable analysis

RE: m38shooter Desert Eagle Mark XIX Pistol DE357, 357 Rem Mag = $1,342 With JHP rounds, maybe thats the solution? Although I have heard less than stellar things about Desert Eagles... only twice the price of a S&W 686 :-)

RE: CWL - Thanks Blanca Who has 100% accuracy during a dynamic critical incident? Learning to shoot is only part of the picture. Of course one is responsible for their rounds after they leave their weapon... even more so one wants to statistically minimize the chances of collateral damage...

Thanks All! My quest for a solution that has power, low penetration with maximum disbursment still seems to lead to the common solution: -> .357 Magnum with JHP rounds. I just wish I knew of a solution that would perform like the above, on a semi-auto platform. Thanks again.

Re: Ala Dan Thanks ALA DAN, we covered that. There are no guarantees in life. The question was restated twice requesting higher stopping power in a semi-auto. The only answer seems to be 45 ACP, no one has opinions on the 357 SIG Thanks all!

CWL - Misunderstood? CWL: I understand that the opponent varies - the BG may or may not be stopped by one bullet - the BG mad? haev high levels of adrenaline? on crack? PCP? there are many variances. None of which matter to the question I asked. The essence of the question is still the same...

Thanks Thanks kindly for all of your responses. Maybe I should clarify, instead of "1 shot stopping power" I should say: "maximum stopping power" or, "NOT 6 round stopping power" :-) Can anyone address the question of high power / caliber semi-automatics? I realize a 357 SIG is really...

Hi, I am marginally experiences in handguns (I have owned a 38 & 9mm – I have shot 22, 380, 357, 45, etc. and my friend at the range even let me shoot her S&W 460. !! :-) I am shopping for a new firearm for home defense purposes. My wife is a total rookie (fresh out of NRA firearm safety...
