Back in the 80's (that's
1980's), I remember a lot of 'testing' going on....shooting goats with various handgun calibers/bullet weights/styles/ect. I also remember there was a study going on of actual street shootings by an LEO. IIRC, the "gold standard" of "one shot stops" was the .357 magnum using 125 grn JHP bullets.
So what's the latest and greatest? Does this 'combo' still hold up to the scruteny 30 years later? I didn't place all that much faith in some of the testing, due to various methods (I guess they'd be fine if I was attacked by an anesthetized goat
), but I've done some testing on my own, and that, combined with my experiences in the ICU, O.R., and E.R., have me carrying what I do now.
Haven't read a gun rag in years........what's the latest?
