An Alternate Look at Handgun Stopping Power - interesting article.

The .38 special works fine. The issue there was likely due to ammo selection. 4 clean pass throughs.

This.

I'm willing to bet she had the cheapest range loaded FMJ rounds in it. If she had some heavier JHP defense loaded rounds he would have been dead on scene. Even with as much crap as the .380 auto gets, you can still easily kill someone if you have the right round given how close most confrontations requiring you to draw a concealed handgun are.

This is a duplicate post, but I'm too lazy to look up the older thread.

Thanks for posting the video.

This is the rule of holes for handguns; Bigger holes are better than smaller holes and more holes are better than fewer holes.

Don't get shot!

One day I am going to pick up a PF-9. Well that seems to be what I am leaning towards.

If you are concerned with recoil, you may want to shoot one before purchasing. These are downright brutal on your hands. That said, any pistol can be manageable if you have the correct grip and posture.

If you are going to carry, please please please learn to shoot. And not just standing in a lane trying to hit the bulls-eye without any stress or time constraints.

It's not the size of the pill- it's shot placement.

And holes in the right places are best of all...

Yeah, I hear they are pretty brutal. Which most likely has to do with the size and the lack of mass in the weapon. I am going to try a friends before I ever purchase one just to make sure. I also believe in practicing with what you own, not just owning it and never firing it. I had an M&P compact before. It was a great weapon just too bulky for my frame and clothing choices.
