[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 2981681, member: 2469"] Dennis, what weapon is going to be ideal if you only have the use of hand? From the article by Greg Ellifritz: “Stopping Power”- In the 36 shotgun gunfights, 31 criminals were hit. Eighteen of those criminals died from their wounds. Only five of the 31 people shot required more than one round to neutralize. That means 25 out of 31 stopped after being hit with a single shotgun round. An 81% “one shot stop” rate is quite enviable. In my [URL='https://www.buckeyefirearms.org/alternate-look-handgun-stopping-power']2011 study of handgun stopping power[/URL], I found that in nearly 1800 shootings, service caliber handgun loads stopped people with one shot between 34% and 49% of the time, depending on caliber. In 126 rifle-caliber shootings, the criminal stopped after one shot in only 58% of incidents. Twelve gauge 00 buckshot loads are likely the most potent shot for shot “manstoppers” we currently have available. [/QUOTE]
