Ever been the victim of an armed robbery? Many years ago, while I was in college, I worked the night shift at a Holiday Inn. Gentleman came in, walked up to the desk and put a revolver, turned out to be a 38, in my face. I don't believe I could have hit the wall if I had attempted to open up on him. That hole looked like a cannon!
Those ladies did fine!
As far as the ladies did fine, I'm not gonna agree with that. Pretty sure the first two shots the mother took she dropped her head and wasn't even looking at the guy.
The daughter didnt even look like she was trying to use the sights. She fired at the guy when he was throwing the mother around like a rag doll. Watching it, I could have swore she hit her mother.
I will say things did turn out fine, because **** could have turned out a whole lot worse than it did. I'm glad they are safe, but were I an instructor, Id use that incident as a "what not to do"
Probably as evil cop-killer bullets specially loaded to be extra deadly.
They went home, bad guy in jail. Not pretty, but good girls won. A lot to learn from the exchange, but it's not like they are SWAT officers.
It is but there isn’t a round that is gonna knock someone down like in a movie. If a .357 had enough power to knock down the one being shot then the shooter would be knocked down too. Simple physics. A 9mm can be a devastating round. Heck so can a .22 if placed in the right spot.
Tony, I clarified that post by saying that what I meant to say was if he was hit in the shoulder which he wasn't ( my mistake)then it should have at least kept him from moving forward and slapping the woman around. I was later corrected and admitted that I was incorrect. I appreciate you helping straighten me out though.

No, but I stayed in a Holiday Inn once.
Wasn’t trying to sound like a rear. Sorry if it came off that way.
