I'm slow to learn. Explain to me again how your 20 shot 9MM is more effective than my 6 shot .357

simple, there would have been fatalities if 20 shots of 9mm hit.
more hits = more chances of kills, even if with a .22lr

absolutely... this!...the more holes the less blood stays in the perp!

It was FMJ

Well if you hit center mass you are going down... get hit in an extremity with FMJ’s usually clean thru and thru’s... Not to many thugs can get stay on target..

Usually we would try to get the details after.. Ofcourse any fragments or projectiles we remove from the patients, gets sealed and handed to the detectives..

When we saw fatalities, it was usually a set up, deal gone bad, robbery, and usually very close range... Not a lot of room for escape.. We have a RN that is a Trauma Registrar.. That’s when you become a statistic on a Government Chart...........

I carry a .357 for 4 legged critters and a 9 mm for 2 legged critters.

Oh yeah. 9mm is definitely mo betta...

but as Colonel Cooper said "be aware of the man who only owns one gun..he probably knows how to use it"

Let's see -

Trained shooter (two actually)

Multiple assailants

Point blank range, no fatalities, EVERYBODY ends up shot.

So this would have been worse how, if the good guy had a 6 shot .357 revolver?

LOL...explain to ME how your 6 shot .357 is "more effective" than my 13 shot .45 ACP..

They should have used an RPG, that’s the only caliber better than .357

Glad you asked.

Everyone sloughs off into a caliber debate.

Supposedly 30 shot semi-autos have made the revolver obsolete, supposedly because of the possibility of encountering "multiple thugs intent on doing harm" I believe is how one poster put it.

So rather than speculating on "what if" scenarios, here is a real life situation, where

(a) you have a pistol marksman who has been certifiably trained to a minimum level of competence in accuracy and gun handling,

(b) Who encounters multiple bad guys at point blank range

(c) Is only able to hit one of the perps, despite having 40 rounds or so at his disposal, he is able to only inconvenience the bad guy.

and

(d) ends up getting shot hisself.

So my question is, which no one has addressed, is how the good guy would have been worse off if he were carrying a 6 shot revolver.

Ah OK, I get it now. I can think of a few reasons why a 6-shot revolver in ANY caliber, other than 12 gauge or RPG, COULD’VE been worse in that situation, but don’t really care to entertain it because I’d simply be speculating since I wasn’t there and don’t know exactly how it went down.
