[QUOTE="Boomer45, post: 2337322, member: 24682"] I have to agree with Cowman on this. I think our tendency as gun enthusiasts is to get locked into the numbers over everything. What grain weight is the projectile, how fast is it moving, what is the muzzle energy of a particular load etc. While I do recognize that all of these numbers are important and to represent a given loads capacity to inflict damage on a target. There is one other important thing to remember. All bullets are designed to do damage of some sort. I am not sure that most have seen the damage that a bullet can do to the human body. This is a picture of my family members hand after he mis-handled his S&W 38 special. This is not to bust on him because he knows that he made a stupid and paid the stupid tax. Its also not to gross any one out. I just think that sometimes we underestimate the amount of power that a modern hollow point can deliver in almost any caliber. I think that if you were to put this wound on any bad guy he might want to re-think his desire to play any more which is the ultimate goal. Shot placement truly is more important than caliber or personal choice of weapon. Just carry something that you can shoot accurately. Just my .02 [ATTACH=CONFIG]33659[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
