I'm sure that I am not the only one that got a kick of out the latest Front Sight email notice on Front Sight's Monday Blog: Terminal Ballistics, Shot Placement, and Tough Adversaries... If not, this'll cheer you up on even the rainiest, nastiest day imaginable!:
What is the best handgun cartridge and bullet design for
you to carry on the street?
My standard response to this question is to carry the
largest caliber, with the heaviest bullet, loaded as hot
as you can handle it in order to deliver two, quick
center of mass shots... and have the skills to be able
to follow up with a precise shot to the cranio-ocular
cavity (between the eyebrows and mustache) when the
first two thoracic cavity hits don't stop an extremely
dedicated opponent.
They don't call him DOCTOR Millionaire Patriot for naught! And here I was thinking I was being precise when I run through my drills thinking "two through the gizzard, one north of the cake hole!"
