I can't offer an opinion as I own neither. However some things to think about.
> There are more 9mm rounds out 'there' than 7.62x39
> A hand gun is easier to conceal
> A rifle has more knockdown power
> A rifle out to 100 yrds and farther is more accurate
> Most people, man or women, can fire a rifle faster and more accurately than a handgun
> Right now there is a movement to confiscate AK's and not handguns. Of course that will change down the road
