In sales, we have a trilogy saying: FAB. It stands for FEATURE, ADVANTAGE, BENEFIT.

This thread has extolled the features of different ammo, the advantages of having or not having penetration, etc. What I have NOT read are the Benefits.

Specifically, why are we carrying weapons at all? The short answer is to STOP A THREAT! We are not there to KILL someone. that may occur in the act of stopping a threat, but it should not be the object of the shooting. If proven by an attorney that it is, you will be tried for murder, quite possibly.

Therefore, my question about the BENEFITS is this:

Will a .380 in ANY ammo configuration stop an assailant when they are shot Center Mass? I.E., will the gun do what it is intended to do...STOP A THREAT?

Your answer may dictate whether or not I throw the new Taurus PT 738 in the trash can. No pressure on you though! LOL!!
