I've shot quite a number of animals with handguns. Consequently I can't believe in stopping power no matter how much I want to. Big bores are psychologically comforting.........but they really guarantee nothing. Adequate penetration in a vital area will cause death. Instant stopping is awfully random. In my own experience on animals over 3 pounds the best "stoppers" have been the .22 WMR and the 9mm Parabellum ---which proves nothing since the statistical sample is small.
