From the article posted by Mister X:Just because a .38Spl can stop a bad guy doesn't mean it will. Remember, you have to hit that bad guy with that tiny piece of lead. That's easy to say on the internet, but not so easy to do in practice, even at a quiet range. It's very difficult to do under the pressure of potentially being killed by a moving, angry bad guy who's got body armor or is on drugs.

Very well said! Situational awareness is crucial as is the ability to perform well under intense immediate pressure and it's never gonna go how you expect and no matter if it happens to you once or ten times, you'll always look back and find at least SOMETHING you did wrong and need to improve upon. Something is bound to happen that you don't expect. It's like crashing on a motorcycle, only the people who have experienced it can tell you what they were able to do.
