Caliber debates about pistols are worthless

If he did that at the start the fire fight would have been over a lot sooner. Carrying more ammo only promotes failure to aim at the thing you are shooting at. If you are not aiming and simply basting in the general vacinity of what your are shooting at you are still going to miss your target more than hitting it. Carrying more ammo daily so you can continue to fail in executing the shooting fundamentals is a retarded strategy if you ask me. He would be better served with daily carrying a reasonable amount of ammo but instead improving his firearms training and practice to a point where he can execute the fundamentals properly regardless of the situation.

Then again I am not a police officer or have any experience in being involved in a fire fight. So my thoughts on this are probably pointless.

You didn't read the quoted article did you? He got a lot of good hits. The suspect didn't stop upon getting hit in vital areas.

Or... you have the ammunition to put to use when you do realize that you need to slow down. We generally train for center mass shots, he had 14 of them. He had a far better hit ratio than 95% of the police involved shootings that you read about. I don't fault the guy one bit.

At the core of his desperate firefight was a murderous attacker who simply would not go down, even though he was shot 14 times with .45-cal. ammunition — six of those hits in supposedly fatal locations.

That's out of 47 rounds to start the fight.

In this free-for-all, the assailant had, in fact, been struck 14 times. Any one of six of these wounds — in the heart, right lung, left lung, liver, diaphragm, and right kidney — could have produced fatal consequences…“in time,” Gramins emphasizes.

Anyone remember the old "Reading Is Fundamental" commercials? Reading comprehension FTW.
