re: Good home defense revolver?

Yea I’ve shot a judge before.
As a self defense gun I recommend staying away. A .357 magnum is more potent than anything you can get off the shelf to shoot out of a judge. They don’t pattern buckshot all that great. Cool guns for carrying around in the woods to shoot snakes and very fun to plink with, but for defense you are better off with a .357 magnum. With full power loads out of a full size gun .357 mag is generally regarded to be the best one-shot bad guy stopper. 125gr hollow points at 1450+ fps is about as good as it gets against 200 pound upright mammals.

I agree that the 357 is def a good man stopper, but the best would be a stretch. And your key words were one shot. Chances are pretty unlikely that a person, with little to no training, hits a human in the first shot. Hell, most cop shoot outs have a very low percentage of hits vs shots fired. If it had to be a revolver, a judge with .410 for the first few rounds would be the way to go. It’s going to kick any worse than a .357, and you get more projectiles on the first shot. Lots of bad info regarding women and revolvers out there. Mid-size 9mm is the way to go for a nightstand gun. 17 rounds of fury.
