"Remarkably, Palmer had taken 22 hits from Soulis' .40-caliber Glock, 17 of which had hit center mass. Despite the fact that the weapon had been loaded with Ranger SXTs—considered by many to be one of the best man-stoppers available—Palmer lived for more than four minutes after the last shot was fired. His autopsy revealed nothing more than a small amount of alcohol in his bloodstream."
Scary stuff....

This appaerently occurred some time back (1997). The ammo would most likely have been pre T-series SXTs which didn't perform as well as the newer, redesigned T series. Nonetheless, handguns of any caliber are poor stoppers and numerous agencies have documented failures to stop with them even with multiple hits.

Never seen a zombie movie? If body shots fail, aim for the head. The pithy way to remember it is "Two to the body, one to head, all fall dead".

Couple of things about this incident.....
1. Probably happened in a very few seconds.
1A. A head shot is much easier on a keyboard at home than in a dynamic encounter on the street.
2. Despite COM comments, that doesn't mean what you might assume. Depending upon the various angles involved, hitting the dude COM might not have produced penetration of the thorax in vital areas.

There is a thread on this same shooting in the lounge. This is a clear case of needing to shift fire to the pelvis.

I can't recall where the bar was in the near west suburbs of Chicago, but?
They had a poster behind the bar that humorously explained the 12 or so stages of drunkenness.
The last one being "bullet proof".
