This poll is for those of us who have hunted with various handgun cartridges. After witnessing the results of what the terminal effects of a handgun round on game are do you still believe in "stopping power" as it relates to defensive handguning.
Please elaborate on your hunting experiences.
Mine are from shooting various smaller pest, game and varmint critters with what are considered to be defensive loads. An example is I've noted that no matter how good the body hit a cor-bon .380 HP and a 115g 9mm JHP neither will not keep an armadillo from getting to it's hole. Sometimes a great distance away. A blast from a .410 at the same ranges and it's lights out.
