[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2996348, member: 5412"] I don't go out into the world with the anticipation of facing down a mob even though some have had to experience this. Reginald Denny comes to mind, but he was unarmed. We have all seen the video's and read the reports of drug crazed or just adrenalin enraged shooters that took multiple rounds without seeming to be hit at all. That's what I prepare for, and not fighting off a mob. If I walk around a corner and see a mob, I'm running the other way. If in a parking lot, or cornered at close quarters, and you can't run, (99.9% can't hit a moving target) I want capacity. Not only to stand there like a new to the theater operator and shoot it out, its because I'm going to be blazing rounds and in reality, some are going to miss because of the heightened stress levels and having to adjust the aim downward as my shorts will be filling with crap pulling my aim up with the additional weight in the rear! Seriously, when shooting USPSA, you're only facing the clock for pressure, and the clock doesn't shoot back. You would be amazed at how many highly experienced shooters miss a man sized silhouette target at 5 yards or sometimes less while trying to shoot fast, run on loose surfaces, etc. It's no different from the real world except the target has a gun and is shooting at you too.
