Let me get this straight....are you saying that a viable tactic is to shoot two rounds in the ground and one in the badguy's foot? Just because it "worked" once?
That shooting 2 rounds into the ground and one in the foot will keep IA out of your hair?
Are you saying that 2 rds center mass and one in the eye (fired bang!bang!bang!) is less effective than 2 to the ground and one to the foot?
Tell me, what is wrong with my "line of thinking" that has me putting all of my fired rounds into the badguy instead of missing him completely with 2 out of 3, then barely connecting with the third??
Here is my line of thinking: If it comes time to shoot, I'm shooting for the center of the available mass until the threat(s) is no longer there. I could give a flip about how IA or the DA will regard my shooting as I'm firing rounds into the badguy that's actively trying to kill me.
Somehow, I doubt that you had that concern during your encounter.
an officer that I worked with was able to abate a threat with 3 shots out of a S&W model 36, 2 in revolver. Two in the ground and one in the aggressors foot did the trick.

I'm willing to bet that 2 shots center mass and one in the eye would've "abated" the threat just a little bit better....

Tell me you don't work in law enforcement please. That line of thinking will get you before a Grand Jury real quick.
