40-60 yards isn't a self-defence distance even for a part time cowboy.
"...The owner had a restraining order..." Not you. You'd have been a Third Party. Would have created all kinds of legal issues for you.
Your 4" M29 would do nicely just the same, but as mentioned not if you didn't practice at those distances. A .25 ACP will go right through a 2 x 4 at 100 yards. Hold over was something like 6 feet though.
