Once again, m00t is a gun guru. Listen to the man.

Way of the world, bro. The trade off of ammunition. Car analogy: You can't expect "Ford" ammo to perform like "Mercedes" ammo... you use the Ford ammo during the week (training, popping cans) and keep the Mercedes ammo for "oh shit meth addicts in my house." Unless you're filthy rich and can afford high quality ammo all the time or you're willing to risk the safety of yourself and others to less-than-best ammunition.

You said this is a home defense piece, right? Take it to the range and shoot standard ammo... then bring it home, clean it, and load up the good stuff for keeping it in that bedside drawer. Simple enough, no?

A: They're easy to use. They have 3 moving parts you need to concern yourself with: the hammer, the trigger, and the cylinder release.
B: They're reliable. No magazines, rotating chamber means you can simply squeeze your way out of a failed cartridge.
C: They're safe. Open the cylinder and it magically becomes a paperweight. You can see into the gun from the side (between the back of the cylinder and the strike plate to see if it's loaded).
D: You can hit people with them and fire them inside bags. Hitting somebody with a revolver is much more effect than trying to pistolwhip somebody with a plastic Glock. You can also fire a revolver inside bags in emergency situations. They don't have a slide and can't jam due to lack of fore-aft room.

Don't be a wuss. Try it. You'll like it. It's rather comforting.
