anything smaller than 9mm is for a backup gun or target shooting. and anything below .38x doesn't belong in a self defense situation. Handguns are incredibly weak to begin with, and choosing the weakest of the weak is asking for serious trouble.
That's what I was trying to say....if you only want ONE gun and it is for both target and carry, a 9mm is be the cheapest target gun (ammo wise) that I would carry. If you want something for your house, I say a .40 or .45. You can target shoot with those also, but ammo is a higher.
