A P-38 as a CCW gun?

[Adam Helmer]

Lycanthrope,

Are you a LEO or a retired LEO? I should have said "Alternately loaded Ball and JHP" and not "on top" of the mag and I am sorry for the confusion. As for the "Double Tap", that is because many bad guys wear body armor. We always planned on 2 rounds per BG, minimum, and did not have to worry about "the rotation," it all works out in the end.

As for different bullet weights, at handgun distances it really does not matter, just go for center mass. We also had the "Triple Tap" which was two on the sternum, one in the head. That came out of the LA bank robbery scenario where the bad guys had full body armor. Far too many civillians carrying CCW think ONE round is all they need, "Just like on TV." In reality, go for double or triple taps and then look for the next BG. With a magazine full of ammo, just keep fire discipline and keep alert. One-shot stops are few and far between. Hope this helps.
