If'n I knew I was going to need to defend myself with a firearm, I have an HK 91 with 30 rd mags and a Beretta 1201 "Riot" gun that holds 7 of oo buck. I'd bring both. Most days I go about my business as a "nondescript old guy" with a 6906 holding 12 Fed 124gr HST's tucked in the waistband of my cargo shorts. I'd hate to have to shoot it out with it but it will bring the hate better than the aforementioned guns that are back at the house. Joe
...where a .45 takes 2.2 with a .45 for an average stop, so a double tap is usually called for to stop a threat anyway. That's why it helps to have three rounds/perp no matter the caliber.
This data comes from a recent article somewhere on the internet so I don't doubt it's veracity.
Seriously, I don't count on one shot of anything. I think that that the 'Mosazambique Drill' has some creedence with Mike Rousseau saying that an automatic double tap to the torso is required and maybe a third to the head..
