[QUOTE="Erick, post: 1633833, member: 11535"] What was his reason for not wanting a shotgun? My problem with the .357 is wall penetration and capacity. If you are in your own home, why handicap yourself with limited capacity? I think an AR makes a fine Home Defense weapon too. It's proven to perform well in drywall penetration tests (As in not penetrating past too many). And one can be had for about the same cost as a higher end semi-auto. If it was strictly a revolver vs semi question, I would go semi. More capacity, faster reload, easier to set up with light/laser and typically cheaper ammo. I always wanted to take someone to the range and show see what a [I]virtual[/I] shout out would be like. Set the targets out to a good distance, see who gets a vital hit on their target first. If you could pick your location and your gun, who wouldn't want the place they are most familiar with and a carbine high cap semi auto rifle? [/QUOTE]
