Erich, I will cede that you are vastly more experienced than I; it is my contention that civilians encounter a vastly different situation in a hand gun self defense situation than a LEO.
The oft cited average distance of 21' was stated by the FBI for either law enforcement gun fights/gun battles which is far far greater than what civilians can expect.
We civilians can expect: that should a shot/s be fired (in the vast majority of situations showing the gun will end the the threat) the number of rounds will be far less than any wheel full, that the distance will be very very close, either touching distance or just outside touching distance, and that the incident will be over in just a few seconds.
Thoughts appreciated.
