[QUOTE="ol'browneye, post: 570534, member: 14003"] If you lived in Missouri you could have gone to Gander Mountain and come home with that gun within an hour! I guess you'll have to keep that loaded vacuum close to the bed for the next 30 days!:wink2: One newer gun is "The Judge" made my Taurus. It is a revolver in .45 caliber but also shoots .410 shotgun shells. This makes an excellent home defense weapon as the shot from the .410 will not penetrate walls if you miss and hit unintended targets (kids, neighbors) as easily as a .45 caliber slug. I personally don't have one but am considering making it my next handgun purchase. I have 2 Springfield Armory XDM's. One in 9mm and one in .40 caliber. They are both great shooting handguns with a trigger safety and also a safety mechanism in the rear of the grip. You actually have to be gripping this gun in the shooting position to fire it. No firings involving accidentally pulling the trigger. Of course there is always the good old standby-12 guage pump shotgun. The sound of a shell being jacked into the chamber is usually all it takes to make any intruder flee the scene. Do your homework on-line to get your choice narrowed down then go to the gun store and get the feel of different guns in your hand. One more thing to think about is price of ammo. If you plan to do any amount of shooting, (and you never know, you might really like it!) ammo can get expensive. Usually 9mm is cheapest, then .40 cal. then .45 cal. Happy Hunting!:gunsmilie (If you read post #56, I had a Smith and Wesson .40 back in November 2008 but I traded it this spring for my 2 XDM's.) [/QUOTE]
