I don't want to start another caliber war thread, but I would like to address one aspect I see come up in almost every caliber war thread. I was at another site today where someone was trying to convince themselves that .32 ACP's and .380's were sufficient for SD. Someone responded that a .32 in the head was better than a .454 in the arse. Also typical are the usual "shot placement is everything" comments. While I agree that shot placement is key, I'm tired of posts pre-assuming that larger calibers (.40+) can't achieve shot placement. I also understand that some hot calibers might not be as easy to get good followup shots, but let's be real; it ain't that bad. I'd also bet my commander sized 1911 will outshoot a Beretta Tomcat any day, first or second shot, and that has nothing to do with caliber. My Ruger Target 22 will outshoot either and that has nothing to do with caliber. Anyway......just consider this my rant. I'm tired of the the incorrect argument basis that big bores can't shoot straight.
