Use Enough Gun– But Not Too Much
Get the right balance among accuracy, reliability, power, controllability, penetration, user-friendliness!
Standing in a gun shop looking at the array of handguns currently available can be one of the most bewildering experiences a novice interested in self-defense can face. There are guns of all sizes, shapes, calibers, designs, configurations and even colors. Trying to decide which would be best for your needs can be a stressful and confusing task.
But there’s more to it than that. A wrong decision can place you in more danger than necessary if you find yourself in a life-threatening situation. Moreover, it can cause your criminal and civil liability hazards to skyrocket to catastrophic levels.

As per my first question, my interest has to do with legal issues. If I use a certain round for home defense, I want to stay within the law, or at least what I hope is the law. Thanks again.

This is a question. In your article, you state that the 45 acp, 230 fmj round, was one of a few designed for human targets. What are the other rounds not mentioned in the article, designed for this purpose. I’m looking to purchase a pistol, other than a 45, so the information would be helpfull. Thank you for a great article, which was very informative, and interesting.
Thank You,
Robert Garland
