Gun Question

This information is a little off. The maximum chamber pressure from a 357 is about 3x that of a 12 Ga. The 38 special about 2x. The extra 4-8" distance from the muzzle of a shotgun makes a difference. In a hallway, all three will cause damage to your hearing. The muzzle blast I have experienced from a 20" 12 ga. OO buck has been less than that I experienced with my .45 acp. I have difficulty thinking that the blast/flash from a 12 ga would be worse than one from a 4" 357 magnum.

Thanks Bo, good points. I guess I'll have to try for some "real world" testing and check this out (not the hearing part!) I think I still favor the manueverability and retainability of a handgun inside a house, but if it makes too much difference in flash I might have to look at getting some different ammo or even swithing to a long gun. I'm kind of abashed that I haven't night fired my guns to check this before- major fail!
 
if anyone is still interested I'm getting a colt LE6920MPG-OD in anodized dark earth

also going to get the bravo company spring upgrade and a vortex sparc and eventually a ssa trigger

Can you have those in NJ, or is it just a mag capacity limit? For HD, I'd be getting a 9MM, or .45ACP pistol, and some ammo to practice. AR's are great though and the Colt is top notch. I bought the FDE version Magpul Colt M4 about a year or so ago. Great rifle.
 
oh I forgot. as of February I am a PA resident.

and it's not just home defense anymore . it's HD-Range-Hunting all around gun. plus I want to get one before the whining masses get them banned for civilian sale
