No i have never been in a firefight, and yes i do read gun mags. In all honesty though in a firefight people that arent in it tend to run away. At that particular time survival kicks in.

In that situation i dont have time to think where all my rounds are going and if i miss... that happens i'm not super gunner, let the lawyers come, cause i would rather be a live man in a court than a dead one in a casket. So yes more rounds are better...

Well i think that +P+ would be much more effective in a 9mm weapon.... I cant say that it will kill them, but it will have a better chance of stopping them. Thats why i'm thinking about .40S&W that in +P+ would be really effective.... or so i'd immagine.

Thanks for the tips on pointing to shoot and reloading mags while on the move... i have never done this... i guess it's time to practice up on that.
