Placement, and P for Plenty.
Placement, and P for Plenty.
Reading some Marty Fackler and the odd Doc Roberts posts, I finally realized how conceptually silly it is for even a 200 grain projectile traveling at subsonic speeds (or one a bit over half that weight in the transonic velocity region) to actually have any sort of stopping power.
Even in ideal situations where the bullet discharges maximum energy into the target, there's still not much raw power, so it comes down to placement.

I shot my neighbor's amstaff Monday as he was trying to use me as a chew toy, 2 shots from my G19 with 147gr Rangers sent him running but he was still walking around when I saw him last. It took the aggression out of him but he was still moving, wish I would have had a 12 gauge or 7.62 instead. Yeah, handguns suck.

We were always told to follow the 3-F rule; Fire at the Felon 'til he Falls.
My father got his CCW and I offered to help him select a new carry piece. He wanted a .380 - I insisted on 9mm/.38.
He has been shooting for 40+ years, and has shot dozens of deer with a 12 gauge and watched them sprint a good distance.
So imagine the look on my face when he explained he doesn't like the 9mm because:
"A deer got hit on the edge of our property last year. The Sheriff showed up and shot him in the chest with a nine, and it took at least twenty seconds to die!"
