Guys who have been in many more gunfights than I, Jim Cirillo NYPD,
who's record was 19 & 0, and Bob Stasch Chicago PD, 14 gunfights,
both said the one shot stop is very rare. Jim only saw 2 one-shot stops,
both to the brain. Bob only saw one.
One shot stops with a handgun, even in the hands of professionals, is
extremely rare. On the other hand, the majority of self defense shootings
are resolved with 2.7 shots.
So carrying the 5 shot revolver, as I and many others do, we know we
are betting with the odds in our favor, but it is still better than falling into
the fetal position and crying for our mommy.
