“2.) Practice head shots. “When you fire multiple ‘lethal’ rounds into an attacker and he keeps going, you don’t have the luxury of waiting 20 or 40 more seconds for him to die while he can still shoot at you. Don’t waste time arguing the relative merits of various calibers. No handgun rounds have reliable stopping power with body shots. Pick the round you can shoot best and practice shooting at the suspect’s head.”
While the head is the instant kill zone, it’s a very hard target to hit, especially under pressure and with the target moving all over the place.
The pelvis would be a better target. It might not kill, but it’ll put him on the floor and he won’t be able to get back up, and it’s a bigger target.
Too often, yes. But this seems like an exception. He was hitting the target but the target was just plain demonic.
