There have been a few reports of the low recoil buck not adequately penetrating on suspects. We tend to think that penetration is bad from a civil liability standpoint etc....but blood out and air in works.....

I tend to come down on the "end the fight" and worry about the rest later side of things. A trainer that I admire once told me- " People file bankruptcy every day, you probably know someone who has, they can start over. People get out of prison every day, you MIGHT even know someone who has and gone on to lead a reasonably normal life. You don't get out of a pine box and you don't get to start over from it".
