okay, i know most say a shotgun in best for home defense. The thing is i have every shot gun ranging from a 4-10 to a 3 and a half inch magnum. I currently only own 1 pistol, its a 1970-something smith and weston .22 semi auto.

alot of people have different variants on the subject. the thing is, that im a pretty small guy. the last time i checked im 5'11 and 140 lbs.

i was thinknig about buying a Five-Seven...until i seen the price tag.

what would anyone recommend thats a 1 shot stop.

i know that a hit from a .22 is better than a miss from a .45, but im not worried about a miss. i have plenty of time to practice, as i do with my .22. the only problem i have with my .22 is the knock down power. ive considered everything for 38 specials to 45 acps, and i still cant seem to make up my mind.

any help would be awesome.

please remember im a small guy and i wouldnt want anything to large, but a barrel long enough for me to sustain accuracy over a nice distance would be great, as i also like to shoot for practical purposes.
