I have another thread going about .38 special vs. .44 special for home defense handgun but it keeps popping up that a hand gun is just a stop gap to get you to your shotgun/rifle.
At the same time on other threads I see posts that .357 isn't a good home defense round because it'll give you hearing damage when shot in a small area like a bedroom or hallway.
If that's true why does almost everyone say to use a 12 gauge with various loads instead of a pistol. I have a 1911 .45 and a 16 gauge pump and I know which one is louder, is it the increased velocity on a .357 round or is it all BS?
***Please no "practice is the only thing you need to worry about" responses, I use the 1911 at USPSA events monthly so that's not an issue.
Thanks
