as you can tell, handguns are defensive in nature. Bad guy gets hit a couple times, 1 a thru and thru and he's still in the fight...One comment cracks me up by RIDEMODELS:
<quote>Funny thing is that an AR is a varmint rifle, its a good sniper rifle but a 40 with hollow points does more damage.</quote>

I don't care what kind of handgun you have, never bring it to a rifle fight...
So back to my main point, why do we need to limit the good guys with a mag cap on round count?

I bet those guys clear the cars outside next time they serve a warrant.

That was the biggest tactical mistake they made.

This vid should become a training video for other officers.

Shoot in the head and still moving. What the hell, they never do that on TV.

Not a zombie, apparently. (I couldn't resist)

Don't they usually observe the subject's property before a raid or even executing a warrant?

Car was pretty well tinted but they absolutely should have cleared it.

In all of our PPITH classes we do a power demo. Nothing fancy, just full power self defense loads vs target loads into a gallon of water. We usually have our students do the firing. It's pretty funny to watch the fudds say oh my 45 is bad ass, when there's such a miniscule difference between handgun rounds when compared to a slug or a rifle HP/BT round.

3 against 1, distances from 5 to 20 feet. Bad happens quickly and almost never gets better after it happens.

Be safe.

The shot to the spine immobilized him enough, but he didn't let go of the gun so they were full within their rights here. In this situation: GO COPS GO! They really should have opened fire sooner, but damn policy and bullshit running through their minds makes them slower.
