[QUOTE="Junior Bonner, post: 2929911, member: 33416"] It goes without saying that I feel some trepidation about not having any big bore on me when I go light. And I have wondered. Yes, I've been lectured by the tongue in cheek pundit, saying, "Shot placement - it's all in shot placement. Not how big the bullet is!" And I digested this morsel of wisdom from our clucking, finger wagging guru, who chortled on and on. But I was still bothered by my uncertainty of the stopping power of the Makarov - of the maligned 9x18mm. "It's just a little more than a .380," they say. So, let's see. Let's see how it does on the range. Not against four layers of denim in front of ballistic gelatin. Let's shoot a 4x4 with it. Let's see what we have here...
