Three shots are known as “insurance”.
There have been reports that gunmen on drugs don’t feel or react to bullet wounds unless they hit a vital area such as the head or heart.
Filipino rebel forces on drugs during the early years of the U.S. liberation of their island from Spain often continued their attacks despite being hit several times.
That is why the .45 caliber gun was invented, for it’s stopping power.

Yep... Absolutely...
Very true—there’s a growing number of hand gun instructors in this area teaching the triple tap instead of the double tap in a life or death encounter.
I believe 2 to the heart, 1 to the head, was the old standard for insuring that a terrorist would not be capable of further violence.
The military had poor stopping power with the .38 S&W Long. Since expanding bullets were verboten, the .38 cals were doing complete pass throughs, with not a lot of shock value.
The reissued the .45 SAA Colts (.45 Colt Long) and that got the job done.
When the Army decided on the semi auto pistol, they wanted something to match the .45 Colt Long cartridge.
