I could use some advice here. In looking over my home defense handguns, I use mostly striker fired. I have both 9mm and 45acp in Glock platforms and 45acp in Springfield XDM. I also have a Sig or two around the house but no revolvers.

In the unlikely but possible scenario of waking up at zero dark thirty with someone in the house, do you think you are better off with ALL your home defense weapons being on a similar platform as opposed to a mix of 1911, hammer fired Sigs and striker fired?

Anyone have experience or advice on caliber commonality on your home defense setup? Do you have a mix of .40, .45 and 9mm?
