Interesting perspective on Ballistics.

Note to self...
1) change out wife's CCW .380 HP for FMJ
2) get her another .380 magazine
3) move shotgun closer to bed so I don't need a pistol to get to it.

Seriously, we've always heard stories about how ineffective handguns are at "stopping" threats. This puts some serious data behind those stories. As a hunter I'm quite familiar with how even a small deer can travel quite a distance without a heart or lungs, and how that can can be correlated to a BG continuing to move several yards towards you. It's exemplifies quite well the need to keep firing until the threat stops, usually by interrupting the nervous system.

When I decided to make my CCW a .380 I made the decision at that time to use only FMJ.

I'll stick with my critical defense...

When I carry my P238 in .380, I use FMJ as well.

Although now I am confused on what to use for my regular carry,... H&K P2000 in .357 Sig. Maybe FMJ during winter and JHP when it is warm out. Either way,.. keep firing.
