But, could someone explain why size and weight are so critical in selecting a handgun? Wouldn’t a bigger gun be better for defense?

Gotta make sure it feels right in your hand, or the art of self-defense won’t be as pretty.

Caliber matters because it affects the stopping power of the weapon and recoil you’ll experience. Not silly at all, choosing the right caliber is crucial for effective self-defense.

Highlighting the importance of ergonomics and handling in choosing a self-defense weapon is crucial. Many overlook this aspect.

I believe there are other ways to ensure personal safety without escalating to firearms.

More options for upgrades can make a big difference in personalizing a firearm for self-defense.
