It sounds like he did the best he could under the circumstances.
He had a very narrow window of opportunity to take control of the situation, and he had to shoot while his wife was in a headlock and the other perp was menacing him.
Any delay, and the two perps would have been in control.
Too bad the second perp didn't slice open his jugular vein while diving through the glass window.

Needs more time at the range. Still, though messy, he got the job done. Unfortunate one of them escaped.

Not bad for a 64 year old in a high stress situation with a .45 Auto. Those 1911’s are hard to master anyway if that’s what it was.
They would probably both be dead now if he hadn’t acted.

The shooting-your-wife-to-defend-her situation is one in which it’s nice to have a .45 and not just the 12 ga. Even the most understanding wife might get irritable about being blasted with buckshot.

She’ll forgive, but you can bet your bottom dollar she won’t forget.
