I think my opinion on the matter is moving after this; prior to this I'd not liked the idea of banning another class of small arms, but then too I was unaware of bump-stocks, for instance. Anyway, thanks for the informed opinions.

For close quarters and in narrow hallways something along the lines of the Taurus Judge or the S&W Governor is all that I'd need. Both guns shoot a variety of 410 shot gun shells as well as a 45 ca. bullet. Much more maneuverable for home defense than a 12 ga. shotgun or a rifle.
Yeah, I was looking at a 1911-type .45 for home defense today. I don't much fear for intruders, but 911 has a thirty-minute response time out here in the sticks. I'd been looking at various short Remington 570s before, but I've got a small place and a handgun seems a better fit.
The 1911 45s are classic. I was looking at those too some time back. I've always been partial to Rugers. It seems you can almost shoot those guns forever and not wear them out
But, over the last couple of years I've been wanting either a Taurus Judge or a Smith and Wesson Governor for home defense, and both are excellent close quarters defense. Either gun are beasts and both shoot a variety of 410 shot shells, including 45 ca. bullets.
