I need some input concerning my current home and self-defense weaponry. I currently own a Winchester Model 70 in .30-06, a Yugo M48A, a .38 Special revolver, a .22 mag, and a single-shot 12 gauge.
My .30-06 serves as my GP hunting rifle; the mauser serves as a back up. The single-shot 12 gauge and the .22 mag serves in small game hunting and pest control duties. Obvioulsy, the .38's role is home and self defense.
I do believe I need something with a bit more oomph to it to serve as a dedicated HD weapon, and I am torn between a 4" .357 and a 12 gauge pump. I am aware of the obvious advantages to each; what I need to know are the subtle differences that would sway me in one direction or another.
Thanks for any input.
