Trapper7,

The guys gave very good replies about "stopping power." Much depends on the type of ammo, where you hit the target and how many times you shoot. Far too many folks expect a one-shot-stop, like in the movies. I suggest a double-tap, at minimum, before you decide the situation is neutralized when using a 9mm or .38 Special.
