I think people put way too much worry into this. Some don't feel comfortable unless they have a .50 caliber AA gun in the closet. Personally, anything from a 5 shot .38 to an 18 shot 9mm to a 13 shot .45 is good enough for me.
Best handgun for self defense and home invasion
><> Good choice.I'd recommend 2 guns to purchase, and the best part is that you won't need to buy a different box of bullets.
A .38 derringer - I hear good things about Bond Arms. I have a .22Mag Davis/Cobra. That is my "sweatpants gun". If I'm not carrying my own Model 60 (no dash - I'm dashing enough), I've got this with me. That will get me to my CCW - in your case your M-60.
Once you've got your CCW, if the bad guys haven't fled from the first two shots as they get through the door, you use it to get to your rifle.
Your rifle? A Rossi M92 or Marlin 1894 in .38/.357. If you need more than this - I don't know what to tell you.
Problem with High-Cap HD guns is the same thing with High Cap CCWs - they are big, heavy and easy to set down. Laugh at my .22 derringer in my PJs - but it is THERE when I need it.
Actually, this is really poor advice. He already has a 5 shot, double action, model 60 that weighs 22.5 oz and has decent sights. Why would he trade down to a 20 oz bond with worse sights, a smaller grip, and two shots that must be fired single action? A 13.5 oz Ruger LCR or 15 oz aluminum frame S&W J-Frame would be a far better choice if j1 wanted a lighter gun.A .38 derringer - I hear good things about Bond Arms. I have a .22Mag Davis/Cobra.
