Revolver?
Semi-auto handgun?
Shotgun?
Baseball bat?
Bare hands?

Mainly would like to know pros and cons of using a revolver vs semi-auto handgun?

Shotgun?



Nothing will make a burglar shite their pants like the sound of a shotgun being cocked.

Chainsaw. Anyone stupid enough to attack you when they hear a chainsaw is plain insane.

You mean 'racked.'

And an armed intruder will probably start shooting towards the noise, killing or injuring the person with the shotgun.

Move to a better neighborhood.

If that isn't an option, shotgun is the best answer.

Short answer is revolvers don't jam. Seim-auto's = higher capacity.

Get a shotgun with some buckshot. Hard to miss and won't go through walls and hit kids in other rooms.

Shotgun is best for a room. Pistol is for personal protection.

I have mine loaded with 3" 00 buckshot. Some say #2 buck is best.

At house ranges you have to aim a shotgun also.

Overall, a small revolver is best for MOST people.

Pro

-No external safety
-Pull the trigger goes bang
-Good ones available at reasonable prices
-38 special has good stopping power with modern defense ammo
-Good in close quarters (very common to be close in true home defense scenarios)

Cons

-Capacity
-Reload speed
