Im in the camp that says: "stay away from pistol calibers for home defense".

Theres far too many reports and videos (a new one in General discussion) where perps survive MULTIPLE pistol wounds and keep fighting. ANY pistol caliber is a poor man stopper. Every single one. If someone is perceived to be breaking into my home to do me and my family harm, I am grabbing my 10.5" AR pistol loaded with Gold Dots. The glock is for concealed carry only.

"But your 10.5 is gonna be louder than your 16". Yea, I already have well documented hearing damage, and its way lower on my list of nice to have's over: bodily harm or legal prosecution.
