Fresnel Stoic Socialist I'm sure a nice snub nose in .357 should do nicely for any self-defense shooting. MAG or SIG? I'd think a tiny .357MAG would break your wrist. Quote: Isn't the common SD shooting 2.3 shots or something like that? Not that I know any better, but I think the coincidence is too high that the average family has 2.3 children.
That's what compensators are for. Besides; with the massive adrenaline dump one would have, I doubt one would notice. We shoot standard 2-3/4" shells in the shotgun at the range, and switch to 3" Magnums when out hunting. It doesn't change the POI considerably, and I don't even notice. Sure, it's the difference of a pistol and long gun, but shotguns have been known to break collar bones before.
And that's very well possible... >.< I just remember that it was somewhere between 2 and 3 came to mind. Double taps, eh?

Desert_Fox_Rommel Requiem6661 Uryu's right. Weaponology compared the two during the Green Berets episode. 9mm Parabellum flies at 1200 feet per second, so it will usually just pass right through with little damage. .45 ACP, on the other hand, is bigger, and flies at a mere 800 FPS. It slows down when it hits, and that extra kinetic energy has to go somewhere- so it gets transferred to the surrounding tissue. My friend's grandpa told me that a well-placed shot with a 1911 can separate a man's hand at the wrist. However, for self-defense, I'd probably go with a .357/.38 revolver. A good amount of bang, and if you run out of magnum rounds you can simply grab a few .38 Specials. Wouldn't a .38 special be too big for a .357? !!!???
It's one of the most common multi-caliber firearms! The .357MAG revolver can safely shoot .38SPCL (+P?) rounds a a cheaper practice or self defense round. Some revolvers also have 9mmLuger cylinders for their .357MAG revolvers.
Rommel, it's just like the .32 adapter for .303 Enfield. It may be a bigger number, but it's not necessarily the actual measure.

To be honest about 2/3 of what I know about guns I've learned from being in this guild.
