As far as performance, 6 or 5 will do what you need. Now as far as which I'd pick...6 Round for sure! Never know, that extra round could make all the difference in the world in a Self Defense situation.

Hi Linda, this would be a good choice for home defense, and 6 rounds is always better than 5. Read about this gun here >>> https://www.shootingillustrated.com/content/review-rossi-rp-63-revolver/ Stay safe & have a great day

very good home defense gun use 38 special for practice and 6 shots are better than 5

Hi Linda and welcome. The 6 Shot is preferred over the 5 Shot for home defense. Effective .357 Magnum or .38 Special ammunition is the next step : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/61041/hornady+critical+defense+357+mag+125gr+hollow+point+25rd+box ---------------------------------------- https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/411555572/hornady+.38+spc+critical+defense+110+grain+25ct ------------------ Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
