[QUOTE="wolfkpr, post: 3767748, member: 38471"] .22 is used a lot in home defense shootings- because lots of folks have them handy. I have an older relative whose house gun is a .410 ( because she aleady has it and she’s comfortable with it). Yes in a home invader shooting if they break contact it accomplishes the goal- but the immediate goal is to stop the attack, and incapacitating ( shoot til they stop) is the correct response. So use whatever you have, if its all you have- ( after all bullets are like real estate- location, location, location)- but i’d recommend a service caliber (.38+p, 9mm or better). There’s a reason LE doesnt use anything smaller.. [/QUOTE]
