[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1391273, member: 796"] Some Army research done a century ago is still valid: A cannon ball striking a person is a guaranteed one-shot stop, and nothing much short of that is. Maybe the .50 MG. No handgun will incapacitate on sheer size and power, and you have to hit something vital. Most small 9mm handguns do not benefit greatly by +P+ unless you just like lots of noise and flash, and it voids the warranty on most (no SAAMI standards for +P+). A 4" barrel or more is more likely to benefit from more powder, if the gun can take it. Even the vaunted .45 ACP has documented cases where a person took a full magazine in hits and still had to be clubbed to the ground, so there are no magic guns or ammunition. [/QUOTE]
