He said he'd rather have a pump action rifle. I used to own a .357 Magnum, but sold it. Wish I would have kept it.

Which would you rather have and if you have/had your choice, which brand, model, etc. would you prefer?

TIA!

I have not read through the whole thread..........

.......But I was told that a pump shot gun would be safer in the house if you had to defend your self against and intruder.

Because a big caliber hand gun will travel through walls and possibly hit your family.

well if you liked the 357 hand gun, then get another, it is true that what you are planning to do with the weapon makes a big diff which one to get, by the way i live in god forsaken wisconsin, and we like weapons too, lol,dt

I do it all the time with no fear of shooting my foot or leg!

Thanks for the additional info, MOW!

Thanks. I hadn't thought of that. I wonder if that is why he was leaning for the pump action? He doesn't always explain every detail - oh - man involved! Hello!

I did like that .357. Being a foolish young woman I was driving to San Antonio at night in my Camero. A couple of guys in some supped up old car, probably a Monte Carlo, drove next to me and gunned their motor. I told my passenger, "There's a gun under your seat. Pick it up and hand it to me."

I pointed it at their vehicle. Sound of rubber burning - They sped on up the highway - really fast! The gun wasn't even loaded.

I prefer the 9mm baretta, unfortunately I cannot afford it.
