It is my opinion that a 6" barreled .357 revolver is an excellent home defense choice, especially if you already own one.

The revolver is much easier to handle in a narrow hallway than a 24" + long shotgun. Also it is easier to conceal in a nighstand near your bed.

Some people believe "you can't miss" with a shotgun, but that isn't true inside a home. The pattern will only be a few inches wide inside the house, and you can miss with a shotgun just as easily as with a handgun.

Most people anguish too much over the choce of a home defense weapon. Use whatever you already own, and just practice a few times a year at your local shooting facility.
