I carry a .357 S&W, and keep my S&W 500 Magnum tucked up under the front seat of my truck. I'm more of a revolver kinda guy. More reliable, pack a mean punch. No matter where ya hit, your putting something down.

.500 is way overpowered for self defense. If you shoot someone your going to kill an innocent person standing behind them.... I usually carry a 9mm, or .40

Like I said, I keep it tucked up under my seat. I don't carry it. Read the first time big guy.

I didn't say u carry it.... I just said that's an accident waiting to happen. Way too much penetration for defense.
