“I wasn’t there,” Bloomberg told his audience. “I don’t know the facts—that somebody in the congregation had their own gun and killed the person who murdered two other people. But it’s the job of law enforcement to have guns and to decide when to shoot. You just do not want the average citizen carrying a gun in a crowded place.”
Take a sheet of typing paper and place it on your chest. Note what area it covers (all the vital organs). If you can get 10 consecutive shots anywhere into that paper at 10 yards...you're pretty much going to stop a threat.My father in law has a Smith and Wesson .38 special +p revolver and he has not been happy with his accuracy. It is his carry weapon and at ten yards he can get most shots somewhere on the black but there is always a few that aren't. That makes us nervous because if he ever did have to use it in a defense situation you don't want projectiles not on target.
He uses Winchester 130 grain FMJ for target shooting and I would say it holds a 10-12" group at 10 yards with a few fliers that are off target or not even on paper. I studied his trigger pull and also loaded a cylinder with rounds and empty Chambers to see if he flinches and his technique and form are good.
I know these are not made to be tackdrivers, but what is reasonable accuracy one should expect at that distance? Is there a different ammo or weight of bullet we should try for the length barrel? I would say the barrel is 1.5 to 2". Maybe we should be training at a shorter distance?
Thanks for the help!
????He is likely representative of real people who defend themselves everyday.

Has his FIL actually defended himself?I meant that his FIL was likely typical.
You are reading more into my statement than I intended. In retrospect I'm guilty of the same (in reading into the OP a context that only experts are allowed the right to defend themselves). If it's a problem simply delete my post.Has his FIL actually defended himself?
