For carry 38/38+p until I can find a snubnose in a caliber I like better. For home There is a 12 gauge on my wife's side of the bed, and a Marlin 336 in 30-30 Winchester on my side of the bed. Pistol calibers are fine for concealed carry, etc. But if it comes down to an intruder, who you MUST assume is armed, I am taking a rifle into the fight. My 30-30 may not be a rapid reload once it's dry, but it is very hard for a intruder to argue with six rounds of 170 grain lead.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004

I've been shooting for a number of years now and chose to progress in caliber size, not out of necessity but desire and I've landed where I have and am comfortable with mag cap limitations and felt recoil as a trade off
If that works for you, then I have no problem with that Just wanted the record to show that the 38/9mm family of bullets/cartridges is not as anemic as some of the gun writers or armchair experts out there would have you believe.

Now, if you were to go in the OTHER direction of the caliber scale, then I think we would have to have a discussion!
