You really can't go wrong with a 357 magnum Old School revolver.

My main weapon will be my rifle, so either 30-06 or 223. I'm taking both to the range to see how well i can shoot them. In the real world, misses don't count so it doesn't matter if i have the perfect cartidge if I can't hit the target.
I had a border patrol friend a couple years ago who passed on. His father was a WW2 combat vet who fought from the first landings in Africa and into Sicily and then got into Normandy on D-Day+2 and walked all the way to Germany were he got a golden wound in the Hurtgen Forest and was sent home. My friend's father prefered the 9mm over the 45 because it would go thru a helmet and a 45 often would not.
I'm not spending $700 for a new pistol that is just insurance and I'll most likely never need. So, again, no 44/357 mag or 10mm. I'm putting boundries around this with only 45 acp and 9mm.
I can play with ammo, +P, different bullet weights and construction. I shoot the best with my 45 and I've almost worn out the rifleing in the barrel. I shoot the 9mm OK and probably good enough for a mag dump at a charging pig.
