[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 851990, member: 5168"] I also champion the revolver for the "New shooter". .38Spl is sufficent for this. A good fixed sight S&W K-frame model 10 or 64 with a 4"bbl. .357Mag isn't a good idea inside close quarters due to the overpressure created by the cartridge for someone without hearing protection. .38Spl is going to be loud as it is, but creating a sonic boom inside a bedroom or hallway could very possibly rupture the eardrums of the shooter and those he's trying to protect. Its all about shoot placement, and penetration in the target, and a .38Spl will deliver the goods, as long as the shooter is practiced in the skill of placement, not spraying the target area. I for one will not have a .357mag loaded in the house. Even my Marlin 1894C is loaded with just .38Spl. If a shotgun is to be chosen, I would stear them towards one of the Stoger CoachGuns. Load it close it, and the safety goes on. When you need it, push the safety off, and she's ready to go. Doesn't get much simpler than that. [/QUOTE]
