Re: 17 center mass hits with a .40 and still alive

The truth is it doesn't matter. If this officer did have a G17 with this same exact situation, if the first bullet from the officers gun hit the guy in the right place, 1 shot with a 9mm could have stopped it. Heck, even a .22 in the right spot could have stopped it in one shot.

The point is, like others have pointed out, you don't stop shooting until the threat is over.

People have taken hits with a .45 numerous times and have lived.

It's about shot placement and luck! 9mm, 40, .357 sig, .45 ACP or heck .45 GAP all work if bullet hits in those magic sweet spots that instantly turn the BG's life switch off. Also, any of the above can miss all those spots and the fight continues.

I carry a G19 9mm right now and I have full faith that it can help to save my life. I will soon be carrying a G23 .40 and will feel just as safe with it.
