The .38 spl +P is a better alternative. But, I think if it were me, I'd opt for the Glaser safety slug in the magnum loading. It's a devastating round and is known for its tendency to NOT over-penetrate. I remember when they first came out with this round, years ago, they advertised, yes I said "advertised", "Any body or head shot to be 100% fatal." You Tube it, you'll be amazed........
Actually a 20 or 12 gauge with #7 bird shot would probably give you the desired result! Make sure you get a pump. I've heard that bad guys are really scared of pumps!  |
I had a friend do a test with Glasser Safety slugs. He made two simulated walls out of 2 by 4's and sheet rock. The Glasser rounds went through both "walls" like a knife through butter.
It's better to test what you shoot yourself. his test was an eye opener.
