[QUOTE="sushi & pistols, post: 4389661, member: 45152"] My every day carry is a 7 round revolver in .32 H&R mag with a backup of an older semi auto Beretta chambered in .32acp. You will get numerous opinions about anything smaller than 9mm. Myself, I'm a firm believer in shot placement. You mention shoot at dogs, I am assuming you are shooting towards them for sound effect to startle them away. Just about any boom will suffice for that. As for self defense I have a rule of thumb for myself and my red headed wife who is an outstanding shot. Carry what you are comfortable with and practice practice practice with that firearm so that God forbid if ever needed you will be able to place that shot (s) where they count. I've had to use a firearm in a self defense mode one time in my life. It was30 years ago and a s&w with a 2" barrel chambered in .38 special. I can tell you by experience that round was plenty!
