[QUOTE="Steelers Fan, post: 4021724, member: 16254"] I remember reading a report by what I believe was put together by a ballistician and a coroner. It was in reference to pistols primarily if I remember correctly. It basically said on the humans shallow body depth that the best one stop shot killer was the .357 mag. The speed of the bullet allows rapid expansion and energy transfer that the blow thru .40's and .44's couldn't match on that frame size. The 9mm's are preferred by everyone for shot control and capacity but the coroner said it almost always takes multiple shots to take a man down and especially kill. (Special note here - cops are well aware of this and they are the only ones allowed to overkill a target without repercussions. Even with quality ammo.) Bear in mind the majority of people shot with 9's are shot with plinking ammo, not quality rounds. The "American Thuggernaut" doesn't understand bullet performance and pops caps on the cheap side. Bustin' clips of the good stuff takes dope money away and they have to keep their priorities straight. As far as the shot gun goes it must be short enough to swing horizontally from the hip in a narrow hallway. A friend of mine says the " Remington 870 20ga Youth Jr." fits the bill without modifications. Rifle rounds are subject to come up short on home protection too. A nice, short AR can puke too if not in what I would call a stud busting caliber. I know my house as you know yours. In the home, if my wife and dog are in the room with me, I won't wait to identify target visually. Always be first to fire. Watch the cops and crooks, it matters not who you are, everyones knees get weak when the unexpected round goes off and all the fleas flee. When you shoot first there is no question if your afraid to fire the gun. I've alway told my wife and kids to shoot first. It gets the attention of of the culprit and the neighbors. I keep a shot gun and a pistol (not a nine) in bedroom. [/QUOTE]
