I read up on that Taurus...reliability is an issue. A lot of guys have had problems with this gun at the range after a few shots. A lot. Besides, I would rather the pistol be hammer less.

as others have said, I would shout out to drop his knife, the spouse should have already called 911 about the break in so cops are on their way...if he does not drop the knife and you have to hit him in the leg with your gun, then do such to stop him. If he is lunging at you to harm you, shoot to kill.

A 20 gauge shotgun would be the best thing for her as far as home defense. Like I said before, the sound of the slide is one of the most distinctive and scary sounds in the world, it may get rid of the perp without firing a shot which would obviously be the best outcome. 20 gauge is plenty deadly enough but doesn't have the kick of the 12, easier to handle in a home, especially with the pistol grip and short barrel.

On the stairs in the dark you are going to miss and he is going to close with you. Further if he is alive when the cops get there and you shot him, you are going to get sued as he makes all kind of lying statements about what happened with some slick lawyer costing you thousands even if you win.
NEVER shoot someone to wound. Always shoot center mass to increase the chances of a hit and never stop shooting until the target is down and unable to approach you.
well, my master bedroom suite is on the first floor, if i went in to the hall and saw that this guy was climbing my stairway, he was heading AWAY from me, NOT towards me!!! to kill him would be to shoot him in the back?Shoot or not shoot?
Here's the scenero. It's 11:30 pm. You are sleeping in your bed and hear somebody break into your house by forcing the front door. You have a pistol in your nightstand and you take it out of the drawer and make sure it is loaded. You get out of your bed, turn on your bedroom light and step out into the hallway. As you do, you notice a person climbing your stairway and the person has a knife in their hand. Would you shoot this person or not shoot this person?
I would shoot this person.

Just admit you would never use a gun in self defense, will ya? There's no shame in it. But cherry-picking and changing the context of the scenario, beating around the bush for post after post, just sort of knocks the pretty off your smile.
If he's going up the stairs away from you, that's when you yell "HEY" then shoot him when he turns around!Pffft.well, my master bedroom suite is on the first floor, if i went in to the hall and saw that this guy was climbing my stairway, he was heading AWAY from me, NOT towards me!!! to kill him would be to shoot him in the back?

i never thought the guy was coming up the stairs AT ME....black dog NEVER said that in his example, as I showed you....I thought he was climbing the stairs in the hallway?
When you get the gun, get the formal training.And I am certain I would use a gun if I had a gun IF I WAS ABSOLUTELY in fear of the perp taking my life, if i was not in fear of him taking my life, I would NOT just shoot to kill him...and you shouldn't either....imo.

Oh my God!
In the tragic story, the son was an adult and had been away awhile, and he was holding the screwdriver he'd used to jimmy the door. And was blown away. The dad thought it was a knife.You shoot. To kill. Immediately.
IF there is NO question at all it's a knife.
But, to be fair I have heard this story, the dude in question shot his son.
I would of course make sure it was not my son, besides why would my son be busting down the front door with a knife in his hand? He would not

How do you NOT recognize your own son???????? Yes, even in the dark, you can recog your own child.

Well, obviously he didn't recognize him or that he was holding a screw driver vs a knife...or he would not have killed him.
And THIS IS WHY you don't shoot to kill on a whim.....

It wasn't a whim and until an actual link is provided I will assume it never happened. Better not buy a gun Care cause you are one of those idiots that will simply provide the murder weapon to your killer.
No one ever does that. You're still assuming way too much.And THIS IS WHY you don't shoot to kill on a whim.....
You're really going to shoot at animals, outside? Have you any idea how far a slug can travel downrange? This is why it's illegal to discharge a firearm outdoors in most cities.My interest in getting a gun or shotgun, are to protect my cats from bears or coyotes or wolves!
Would anyone? In this scenario it's identified as a stranger in your house with a knife.i would not shoot till i idedntified my target....

I would never shoot a bear, a coyote or a wolf. If you want to protect your cats keep them in the house. The law says you gotta do that, too, in most cities.
If you live out in the County, these may or may not apply depending on local laws of course.
