"Look at the Ruger LCP. It is a .380 caliber, small framed and packs enough of a punch to stop a criminal. It is not fun to shoot as it has some pretty fierce recoil. But finding a small gun that is a decent defensive caliber that has no recoil is going to be virtually impossible."
This is what I am afraid of. I don't want to deal with a fierce recoil. I'd like to spend 1-2 weekends per month at a firing range, so I don't want a gun that is hard to handle. I'd like something enjoyable, but that will still actually do it's job.
I have considered a .22, but I don't really want to have to buy another gun down the road. I've heard a .22 is terrible for home defense.
I haven't considered a shotgun. Not sure why....
