warning shots, magazines, home defense....

1st off, Id sit down & really decide if you can use a firearm to defend yourself or if you honestly say you apply lethal force in a home defense event.
Guns are not toys, props, fashion accessories or political statements.
They are lethal weapons that can injury or kill.
Id also advise against "warning shots". Your actions in a lethal force event could be viewed as reckless or irresponsible if your "warning shot" seriously injured a by-stander or neighbor.
A woman in the Jacksonville FL was convicted in a recent court case partly because she fired a "warning" to scare off her alleged attacker(her husband in a domestic dispute). The State Atty's Office put criminal charges on her.
Id add that you can buy a 1911a1 .45acp & use it for personal defense if you feel qualified to carry it. For basic home protection & security, I'd look at a stainless .357magnum DA or DA only revolver like a GP100 4" barrel, a SP101, a 686+ 7rd, a Bulldog .44spl, or maybe a Ruger LCR.

As for pistol magazines, you can fully load them. Just check them often & keep them clean.
