If I was going to keep a piece behind the counter it would have a lot more stopping power than that. Either .357 Magnum (my preference) or a .45 ACP.

So true. And also in practical use:

The cop that taught our intermediate tactical self defense class observed that while being able to get to your concealed weapon quickly is important, in reality about 90% of the time your first move will be to seek cover before drawing. Those times that extra couple of seconds to get the gun out are not nearly as critical.
It was quite enlightening to see what happens to your accuracy when trying to quickly draw and shoot compared to simply shooting. Our drill measured draw/shoot time and then added penalty time as accuracy decreased. Fast draw without a good center mass hit isn’t worth much.
looks like the clerk got him in the lower left torso (kidney maybe) right before he reaches the door. you can see him reach back akwardly and grab at his side.
What was he thinking? He should've grabbed a can and thrown it at the suspect.
