Well, hello. I'm new here and want a suggestion for a caliber and weapon (pistol, revolver or shotgun). The firearm would be for home defense only. Most calibers are illegal here for civilian use (Brazil). These are the options I have:
.22 LR pistol
.380 ACP pistol
.38 Special revolver
12 Gauge shotgun with a 24" barrel or bigger
I can use FMJs, Soft Points or Hollow Points
I can use +P and +P+ ammunition
Range is not an issue, I live in a small place. I think that overpenetration is not an issue either, I don't think that any of those calibers can pass through brick walls (can they?). I appreciate any suggestions
