IIRC, on a recent Tom Gresham "Gun Talk" show, he had a guest on who said that caliber was not
that important.
But to stop the threat generally requires 2 to 3 rounds, of whatever caliber you are firing.
That seems logical: if you put 2 to 3 rounds into a threat, you are doubling or tripling your chances of
hitting something that will stop the threat. Either psychologically or by degrading some physical aspect of the BG.

...I was taught, and taught all mine, that it's foolish to shoot once and then check for effects...shoot at least twice, as the effect may be delayed...by the time you figure out you missed or hit a fringe area, you'll be shot...personally, three is preferable, and in no particular choice of patterns...there's a reason that soldiers' rifles are now designed for 3-shot bursts...
