Any Weapon we carry is good enough to get the Job Done as long as you are Comfortable and, Confident with your self But, being that I have 4 Children and money is tight. I purchased the Ruger P345 .45 Cal and $ for $ it is an Great Weapon Dont get me wrong all the weapons you members have listed are Great I just cant afford them at this time after doing some research I decided to go with the Ruger It seems to be the Working Families choice of weapons because of there affordable price range. and, realiability Thats just my opinion and im no expert. After shooting my new ruger and testing round after round I have become very comfortable with this weapon and, can honestly say I trust mine and my Families well being with it Thanks To all for reading. If any of you have any suggestions on more affordable choices I would gladly listen. Thanks again
