Pretty much any handgun is not appropriate for home defense if you are in a multi-family type of building, or for that matter most neighborhoods with wood construction and small plots. Your bullets will go way farther than you want them too.

A solution would be to buy Mag-Safe or Glazer bullets. These are meant to fragment on impact. This keeps them from over-penetrating walls, but at the same time, the frangible bullet does extra damage when it hits a person. As I understand it, they were originally designed for law-enforcement and were mostly intended to prevent deadly riccochet's (hope I spelled that right).
