I have extensive experience hunting. Like I said. Vitals, CNS and flesh. We all need the same basic things above. And all mammals react to damage of these in the same matter.Everyone has an opinion, but not everyone has experience.
I have a few military friends. 3 army and 2 marines. They all say if I can hit my target go with 45. So I'll agree with them. They also did not like the 5.56 and opted to get their hands on a good ak or 308 rifle when or if they could while over seas. A specific one I remember is the constant argument on who got the m1a variant.
I wont go into detail but I have hear a couple scenarios of failure to incapacitate.
I would like to have served but a foot condition which has left me with 1 surgery so far was absolutely a no go.
I dont doubt your experience and I'm glad it has worked well for you. I'm just confident I will not need more than 8 rounds. In that aspect I carry a full size 1911 loaded with 45 super and I know it will out perform any 9mm or 40sw per trigger pull. If I run into 10 bad guys I guess I'm screwed. Or if I miss a few shots with 4 bad guys. But in all reality I doubt I ever have to mess with more than 3 bad guys. Or for that matter even 1. Each to his own.
