Exactly--that's what the science tells us. Two provisos: (1) that "good hit" will be largely a matter of chance, hence the desirability of more shots; and (2) penetration must be adequate, and the .44 Special is on the marginal side.I really dont see it making much of adifference with any of them. A good hit will bring likely bring about a good result, a poor one, a poor result.
