Eli at the mall wasn’t a cop.If I were a cop - then no, it's not good enough.
But I ain't a cop. I don't do cop things. I don't deal with what coppers doing copper things have to deal with.
I think the cop was obligated to pull the trigger once for each time the guy filming said "Shoot his @$$". Must have been his supervisor or something.Statistically though, you're much less likely to need more than 5 rounds. Accuracy is the biggest flaw with the idea of carrying a revolver.
How Much Ammo Capacity Is Enough? - Lucky Gunner Lounge
How much ammo to carry is a controversial issue. In this post, we take a look at something you might consider when weighing the issue.www.luckygunner.com
Don't think trying to encourage good decisions should engender such animosity. He IS less than tactful about it, but if you take it in the proper spirit you can relax, Frances.Yet you take every opportunity to shove it in everyone’s face how dumb it is to carry a “low capacity handgun”. Seems to me
Like you’ve got an axe to grind and I have no idea what good it does anyone.
Doesn’t fix the fact that the human heart destroyed by gunfire does not prevent the bad guy from pressing his attack for another 10 to 15 seconds.
Did the deputy in the video just suck? Was that the problem?
Every defensive situation is different. Didn't BBI have some statistics at one point that said that the average encounter was like 3 shots to end or something like that?
They are still posted here and haven't changed radically despite a lot more cases being added. The average isn't even 3, but that only includes random crimes (no targeted attacks like domestics and drug dealer taking out a rival). To this day I've got more cases of people dead from accidentally shooting themselves in the groin then I do of people dead with an empty j-frame in their hand.
If you can carry a bigger gun you shoot better and that has more capacity, great, do it. If you can't, you're way better off with an LCR or j-frame than you are hopes and dreams. The whole revolvers suck/if you aren't carrying X number of rounds is as interesting as Glock vs 1911, a tired pseudo-debate to trot out and rehash every so often when the correct answer is use good tactics, carry a caliber capable of breaking adult bone, carry a gun that you can make go bang every time you want it to and 0% of the time you don't want it to, and don't suck. That'll get you through any but the most extreme of extreme outliers and you'll get to die a cranky old man from high cholesterol or some **** one day.
Headshots are viable for self defense.Some baddies have body armor too.After a couple shots to the chest that didn't stop the threat, at that range, wouldn't a third shot to the head have ended the threat?
I forgot, a head shot is murder and execution.

“Never needed it” and “Never felt like I needed it” are never relevant criteria when selecting a defensive weapon for what might happen in the future. Sounds like you would have been just as well off with a rabbit’s foot or four leaf clover. Why do you carry a gun at all?Carried a 1911 for a year, never used it in a bad situation, carried a revolver for over 40 years last 20 a 5 shot smith, never felt under gunned. Sounds to me like someone is attempting to justify there expenditure on the latest n greatest wonder nine. JMO
So what's the difference between hitting the heart with a j-frame or a Glock 17? Hitting it more times?
Is this a trick? The answer is in your question, HITTING.
