to stop a threat?
Let me preface this with "THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION ABOUT CALIBER".
My wife and I routinely attend training by professionals in the use of guns (pistols and rifles), tactics, and medical.
Recently we attended a course where the instructor quoted a DOJ report that it took on average 8 rounds to stop a threat. I have not been able to find the reports myself but basic research shows that yes, there are many shots fired to stop a threat no matter if the person is a LEO, Military or Civilian. Rarely is it a one stop shot. He also sited reports that there are usually two BG in a majority number of cases.
I carry 13+1 on a daily basis and no extra mag. I've been thinking about an extra mag now.
I'm a very good shot, take quite a bit of training, as I've said, and practice under stress situation but this has me thinking.
I thought it would be a good topic for discussion. Thoughts?
Again, this is not a caliber discussion!!!
