Yeah, you're probably right about the .308 Brett. It looks like as long I stay at a 10" barrel or better, the 5.56 will reach fragmentation velocity. As far as the handgun rounds, do you mean like Glaser and Magsafe? I wouldn't trust that stuff for home defense, there's alot of reports of it not even penetrating heavy leather jackets.
My rifle is for home defense. In the sense that I will use it to defend my home and property before anyone with bad intentions actually reach my home. Inside my home I have Mr. Smith & Mr. Wesson with very big .45 hollow point home defense rounds to welcome anyone who makes it inside. I pray it never comes to that but it feels nice to be prepared.
In that case, just remember that they have to be in your house, not on your porch or even beating down your door. If you're in your house, the law needs them to be IN the house. Of course, if a true situation came up where you knew they were coming and what they were prepared to do, then there would probably be enough evidence elsewhere to make your case!

I was just thinking worst case scenario - looting, Armageddon, zombie apocalypse, etc. For practicle purposes inside the home a handgun is our go to. Missouri Castle Law says you can defend your home and vehicle if you feel your life is in danger. We can also carry a handgun in our vehicle glovebox without a permit to carry concealed. I have heard of cases where someone has defending their property so that may fall use of force in defense of a person. The best advice is to know your state laws and educate and train. Like I said I just want peace and safety for my family. Hope I never have to hurt another person.
Yeah it is a small, but that's what I want. I wanted something slim enough to CC, but still have a punch when you pull the trigger. I picked up a Taurus millennium last year and it works great, but its a double stack. Trying to conceal a double stack is kinda hard when your a guy my size.
I was looking at the Milleniums recently, how do you like it? I'm a little on the bigger side, so concealment isn't too big of an issue. If I wear an open shirt over a t-shirt, I can wear my service size XD in a paddle holster and it doesn't print much. When I put it in a pancake holster, its pretty much invisible.

I love my millennium, I have put 500 rounds of my reloads in it without a jam. Other nice thing about it is the price.
Nice. I am leaning really heavy towards another XD, but I am definitely going to check out the S&W M&P and Ruger SR45. I might add Taurus to the list. I used to have a Taurus Raging Bull .454 Casull. Man, I loved that gun. Its the only gun I ever got rid of that I really regret. If I had a chance to pick up another one of those, I might go with that instead, lol.
I was liking the looks of the S&W until I picked one up. Felt like I was holding a cheep Chinese squirt gun for some reason. I'm a true believer that the gun must feel right to shoot it well.
I agree totally. Did you get to try it with any of the different back straps? Or did it just overall feel cheaply put together or something? I love the way my XD feels, like I said, its going to take something awesome about one of the other brands to get me to not go with the XD.
