Actually the .357 has a better 'one shot stop' rating than the venerable .45. I'll chalk this one up to shot placement.

And I'll not fault the store owner in the least. He did well under very stressful circumstances.

I just called the DO at LRPD and talked to him. Said it was a S&W 686 4"

That's right. He's alive, and the perps are down. Combat is an iffy proposition no matter what weapons you bring to it.

Based on the picture of the perp (whose pants are pulled down to his shoes), it appears that the store owner got him somewhere below the waist.

Put the .357 vs. .45 to the Paint Can test with hollow points.

What splatters the most. .357 hands down.
