I think a .44 revolver is plenty for home defense. A couple few howdah pistols would keep you pretty safe too.took me 3 years of debate with the other half to allow guns in the house
the deal reached is black powder only for multi shot weapons, modern guns must be single shot
The state is much more lenient than my other half.
So that is why I have a bunch of BP fire arms.
I always loved BP guns so it wasn't too much a hassle to me. My dad got me into it as a teen. And honestly, the revolvers have plenty of whompability. Especially in close quarters where any need for a pistol is likely to ever happen. And for hunting a .490 PRB inside of 75 yards is all I need to put meat in the freezer.
Did you ever get your sweetie shooting? Is she still feeling that way?
Well fact is if I had to do with one or the other I would keep my front stuffers. So your decision makes sense.
You get your guns and happy life
