Guy must be made of steel
Too bad the Amber Lamps got there in time.
Mom needs a bigger gun! Bet she gets a .45 or 12 gauge ASAP.
She doesn't need a bigger gun. She obviously knows how to use that one quite well. To be able to put all five rounds loaded in a 38 special and hit a target the size of a melon from across a room, particularly while hyped up on adrenaline, is the halmark of a sharpshooter. Furthermore, the most
effective (not most deadly) handgun calibers, statisticly speaking, are the .380 automatic followed by the 22LR. In every defensive case, your goal is to get the attacker to
stop, not necessarily to kill them. With that in mind, the above small calibers are well known for accuracy as well as their ability for follow-up shots. The most important factor in a defensive handgun caliber is your personal ability to
hit what you are shooting at, everything else is a secondary consideration. Also, statisicly, the 45 is a terrible choice for a defensive handgun, because the recoil is so harsh that nearly everyone under 6' 2" and 240 lbs has trouble bringing the sights back onto target for a follow-up shot in any speedy fashion.
