From Jim Wilson, talking (as we have been doing here for a week or so — and as has this article) about defensive chamberings:
The purpose of a firearm in the hands of a defensive shooter is not to kill an attacker. The purpose of the defensive handgun is to stop an attack and to stop it as soon as is humanly possible. What they seem to not understand is that these small calibers, while perfectly capable of causing death, may cause death hours, sometimes days, after the person has been shot.
And that’s it, right there. In other words, “stopping power” is the sine qua non of defensive shooting.
While that quote is true, it’s nice to know that a hole all the way through the perp’s head insures he won’t stalk you in the future.
Carry and behave as if your life depended on it.

Aw, jeez, not this shite again. A bad guy took 17 rounds from a Glock 21 (.45ACP) firing Gold Dots and he didn’t fall down (he eventually died). https://americanhandgunner.com/the-ayoob-files/the-lessons-of-tim-gramins
