That I agree with.Shot placement is vastly more important than caliber.
That's what Im talking about, when compared to rifle rounds, handgun rounds are ballistically deficient.I wouldn’t say that most handgun rounds are ballistically deficient, just are so when compared to high velocity rifle rounds.
There was a case of a woman taking a handgun class who accidentally shot herself in the foot. She was flown into a hospital and her foot was patched up and she was back the next day and finished the class. Had it been a rifle round it probably would've been no more foot and she would be fitted with a prosthetic.
That is true, that's why training is crucial.The issue is that during the engagement your body dumps adrenaline, your field of vision narrows and your heart pounds in your ears. People that are inexperienced will focus on everything except their front sight post.
