I don't know why everybody is so hung out on the caliber of gun used. I taught the wife, who had never held a gun in her life, to shoot for the guts. If ya don't blow up the liver or take out the...

I carry a .357, a Ruger SP 101 with the 2 1/4" barrel. It's reliable and has great stopping power.I carried a 9MM for a number of years until I realized that placing the shot was much more important...
