When I hear people say that 7-8 rounds of 45 is better than 16 rounds of 9mm I wonder how many fire fights they have been in.
If you look at police shooting stats, there is a hugh difference between the number of shots fired and hits.
If I'm bouncing and weav'n shooting at someone else that is jumping around I think I would stick with the motto= "A hit with a 22cal. is better than a loud miss with a 44mag."
The few friends I know that have really been in eyeball to eyeball gun fights ( military duty and on the streets back home)all say they didn't have time to line up the sights like you would at the range.
So a shot with just a 20% hit probability might be the shot that saves your life, so you take it.
And hope that IF you miss you still have more ammo to keep firing.
So with that said ,,, what do I carry?
- 5 shot model 642!-
