I shot a .50 BMG over tg weekend, and a slew of other things (enfield, ak-47, mini-14, m14, 20gauge, 12 gauge,
a few .45s (glock and 1911), several
9mm, a walther .22 that was just stupid(good round, bad construction, felt kinky), a few other things)
If you've never shot a .50 before, I highly recommend you do. Its an experience. A .50 handgun just scares the hell out of me.
For home defense? a 9mm or .40 s&w with frangible ammo so it won't go through sheet rock, but will nicely pepper anyone coming through the door. Its a bit more expensive, but hey.
If you want to show off the size of your dick/gun, don't get one. you'll just end up killing yourself or someone you care about. If you want to protect yourself,
go take some shooting safety classes before you buy. Go to a range where you can rent a bunch of weapons, BEFORE you buy. (and don't buy a fucking Makararov, they're cheap as hell for a reason). Try before you buy! If you have small hands like me, a .45 is a bit too much. A 9mm? right on....
good luck, go find a range.
