I learned everything I needed to know in kindergarten.
Three rounds of 45ACP out of a 4" to 5" barrel landing in the center of mass is very often going to have desirable results whether the projectiles penetrate completely through or not, whether the projectiles are expanding HPs or not and whether you chose the 'awsome always deadly Rangers' or the 'lowly, rarely expanding HydraShoks' as HPs.
Someone made a reference to what the gun rags say about ball ammo... gun rag writers are probably more inundated with the alleged pros and cons to various HPs that the rest of us... How boring is it to recommend 'ball is best' over the latest greatest HP that has been shown to expand up to twice the diameter in this one special kind of gelatin?
Regardless of how they manipulate the data, one shot stops don't make sense from a purely logical point of view simply because across the country, most officers aren't trained to shot once into the center of mass then immediately reholster their weapon and never draw it again. If someone is doing something which prompts a LEO to use his weapon, it would stand to reason that very often, they are going to shoot at least once more than is probably absolutely, positively neccessary. And that is a good thing. In Marshalls defense, this makes it difficult, if not impossible to report anything resembling comparable numbers. I still say that the numbers are 13.781% more effective than nothing at all, but can still lead to largely misleading percentages.
A few words of advice: If you want to be as prepared as possible, try spending half as much time drawing and shooting on a range as you do arguing over if Marshall's number crunching is better than Facklers predictions and learn to place the bullet as accurately as possible. And if the need arises, three shots in the upper half of the torso are much more likely to stop the bad guy very quickly than ANY one shot from ANY handgun.
Just my two cents.
