[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 3687584, member: 5391"] Thank you, GED. This is the point I was trying to make. People get too hung up on which caliber/cartridge is best. The key, in most instances, is bullet placement. I've said it before and I'll say it again especially to the one poster who tried to imply that I am in denial, bullet placement is more important than cartridge selection. A 357 in the brain stem is an instant stop. A 45ACP or even a 44 Mag, to the leg may not be. I know of one instance where a man was hit in the head with a 44 Special, and because of the angle of the hit, the bullet did not penetrate the skull, but skidded along with the skull stopping on the opposite side and was removed with a local anesthetic. Look, I'm not knocking anyone's favorite round. Anything from 380 on up will get the job done and so if one wishes to carry a 9mm, 38, 357, 40/10mm, or anything heavier, he certainly is entitled to do so. Trying to belittle the choices that others make is not kosher. [/QUOTE]
