Everything this guy says is worth considering. He is really knowledgeable, and gives proper consideration to the familiarity factor.
Love how he ends it: "Remember, shoot straight on the range and in life."
Some people say "Just get a pump action shotgun (like this Mossberg) for Home D." Good idea, but I would suggest getting one in addition to your sidearm. They only cost a couple hundred, and the sound of the pump action will put the fear of God into some garden variety burglars. But in a life or death situation you can't call time out to reload. So it's nice to have the magazine load option. Even a revolver can be speed loaded with these suckers, so it almost as simple as magazine switching, and can probably be just as fast with practice.
Plus there is the factor of being able to hide more easily with a handgun than with something possessing a long barrel.
I used to (15 years ago) have an S&W "hand cannon" revolver like the one he shows, and I configured it the same way, i.e., kept it loaded with 38 special plus P hollow point rounds inside a combination safe. I sold it on a time, and sort of regret it now. (Hmmmmm....)
