That being said, I'd much rather have the big thumper in my hands when it comes time to stop a charge. Same can be said for personal/home defense. Yeah a .22 can kill a man...eventually, but a .45 will put him down and keep him there.
For North American big nasties, I think something around the .338 Win or .340 Weatherby is the ticket, although a Marlin levergun in .450 Marlin for the 1200lb Alaskan Brown Bear or majorly pissed moose hiding in that tall grass 15 yards in front of ya would feel pretty good also.

Thanks guys for the input.
I got to the range today with a few of a buddies guns.
A Firestorm 380, Springfield XD 45cal, and a Mossberg 500 12ga.
I am gonna get one of them Mossbergs, I really liked it. As for the handguns, that little 380, I didnt care for. The price on it is nice at about 300 bucks, but the sight was too big, and the bullet drops alot, making the groups hard to control. The 45 on the other hand, sweet gun. I will consider that one

Laser grips are cool, only problem is the bad guy also knows where you are too. I'd much rather have some type of retina-burning Sure-Fire light mounted to my home-defense gun. Sure the bad guy is still gonna know where you are, but he'd have as much luck shooting you as Stevie Wonder.
Laser sights are only high speed in Chuck Norris's Delta Force or if it's IR and your allies are the only ones with NVG's...and that's partially so they can see where each other are located.

I'm really happy with my Glock 22(.40); a good, metal, 1911 frame is really nice...I swear there are more little mods to do to the 1911's than an AR! Ooh, you could always build an AR-Pistol! I suppose you could take it a step farther and build an AR10 pistol...nothing like .308 for stopping power.
Okay, that was just excessive.
