I have a friend who swears that the .45 is the absolute best for home defense. His reasoning is that the bullet is heavy but slow, and less likely to go through walls and kill the wrong person. I don't know, I'm just sayin'. Of course he can choose which eye to hit at 20 feet, so I'm not him.

On the other hand, it's my opinion that the best handgun is the one you feel most comfortable with, so all size arguments are null and void.
