Never show up at a gunfight with a baseball bat.
Goal being to stop someone, as opposed to blowing away (which agree is quite doable with the mag). The concept of the "humane" round-irritating in warfare but PC for civilian use becomes the bread and butter for defense lawyers. Is what it is.

In re: 357 Magnum: The Handgun Reloading section of the Speer Reloading Manual Number 13 shows that 7.6 grains of W231 powder will drive their 125 grain bullets to a MV of 1129 fps, and 8.3 grains of W231 will drive the same bullets to a MV of 1168 fps.

Next time you feel like bitching about why we tolerate "political correctness," find a mirror!
Been there, done that.
Feeling like a pack mule got old real fast.
My answer was to upgrade my marksmanship rather than my equipment.
Yeah, things may go sideways in a real life scenario, but it won't be because I made an excuse for not carrying that day.
I believe the "neutralize the threat" doctrine is pretty defensible in any but the most aggressively anti-gun states.
BTW...you might want to update your tagline.
not at all.
through the use of a weapon they had possed a direct threat to him and others. hindsight is 20/20.
it also helps that police are taught to shoot even if the perp drops the gun and run aways for the same “present a threat” to the public issue.
Good Choice!One round of .45ACP goes a long way!
He(Williams)didn’t need anything as big as a .44Magnum.He needed at least a 9/19 or a .40S&W.
