I have several handguns, and I'm currently trying to decide which one to use for a home defense/bump in the night gun. I know there are several issues involved in that, and I don't want to get into the whole 9mm vs. 45 debate, but I do have a question regarding these two calibers. My specific question involves the noise that would be involved if I ever had to discharge my weapon inside my home. There's no way that my wife, daughter, or I would have time to put on hearing protection beforehand. So, given that consideration, which would likely cause the least ear damage to me and my family if fired indoors -- 9mm or 45? Or, is there some other caliber that I should be considering?
I've done a lot of reading about this on the internet, but wanted to tap into the wealth of experience available here on DC. Thanks in advance!
