So I am "younger" guy, so much of my defensive handgun upbringing has centered around the use of semi automatic handguns.
So my question is, when revolvers were the predominant defensive handgun of choice in 60's, 70's and 80's did people debate caliber/cartridge effectives of the .38 vs 357 vs 41 vs 44 vs 45LC? Special vs Magnum? etc. much in the way people are constantly debating the 9 vs 40 vs 45 vs 357sig/10mm/45GAP etc. now?
And if they were, what was the consensus argument of the day?
