[QUOTE="farmerbyron, post: 2642879, member: 4953"] No doubt a 2 way range is going to exponentially increase the stress levels during a shoot. I cannot imagine the adrenaline dump experienced during such an event. Given this understood fact, wouldn't you say that your accuracy will suffer to a pretty large degree over what it would on your practice range? If we know your accuracy will suffer under duress, would you rather your gun run dry after 7 rounds or 15? I suspect your counter argument will be that you would rather the rounds that connected would do more damage than the higher capacity caliber. Here in lies the rub. The difference in terminal performance is minimal between the major handgun calibers. You may not believe it due to previously held beliefs or machismo but many tests and real world examples show it to be true.
