And yes, it is "ordnance on target" that counts. But I do believe the .45 has more punch and more destructive to tissue, which promotes more rapid blood loss. If I was knowingly going in harm's way, then I'd pack a .45, but for casual carry where I might be forced to engage an unavoidable threat, then I am confident in Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-64712413185289145642009-09-25T08:27:02.718-06:002009-09-25T08:27:02.718-06:00I prefer the .45.

I don't flinch with the softer shooting .45; I used to flinch with a barky, little parabellum I used to have. Since accuracy is paramount, I go with the .45.

It seems to me that the chest is well-armored, while the belly is soft, hurts more, and if you miss you may hit the hips and drop the guy to the floor.<br /><br />I guess there's more chance of a stray headshot if you go for the chest, but the upper and lower torso seem to be about the same size to me.Wolfwoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-55303367259692951132009-09-24T23:13:34.867-06:002009-09-24T23:13:34.867-06:00Is the theory presented: does the 9mm gun (with mo...Is the theory presented: does the 9mm gun (with more shots) have a higher chance of hitting the bad guy again and therefore doing something extra (after the heart hit) that would stop her attack sooner?Overload in Coloradohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277277751144486368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-91431070518981323462009-09-24T20:57:52.118-06:002009-09-24T20:57:52.118-06:00After listening to Burkett tell a class that over ...After listening to Burkett tell a class that over 80% of folks shot with handguns live, I gave up on the pistol caliber debate and only use the handgun to get back to the rifle. ;)catfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124423063293021127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-8514932684388303712009-09-24T19:27:05.564-06:002009-09-24T19:27:05.564-06:00I wonder how many 45 ACP advocates actually carry ...I wonder how many 45 ACP advocates actually carry them without exception.
