Point of fact, most people shot with handguns do live. The issue is, what incapacitates your attacker the fastest? A .38 Spc round will probably not expand, so you'll have a .357" hole, neatly drilled. A 9mm likely will expand, so you'lll have a .5 - .6" hole, less neatly drilled.

Actually I am not stating any facts. And you perfectly right, most do live. I'm not arguing fact or even experiences. I just know what i've seen. You make excellent points, you really do. You know a hell of allot more than me about calibers and guns and ammo.
But shouldn't we be concerned about what to carry? What would work well for each individual, and how well they preform while using their firearm. Any gun is deadly, right?
Like I said, I love my .9mm. I switch off from ball and hollows. I surprise myself in my mags by mixing. And truthfully, I can't tell the difference. The gun preforms the same way with either ammo. The .38 on the other hand feels much different to me when I use different ammo. FMJ and SJ hollows. I guess its up to the individual. Hey, i'm not here to argue anyones logic. I can't i'm not that experienced. I just wouldn't recommend a snubby for a woman. They hurt. Sometimes I look at the .38 and say how could something so cute hurt so much.
Do you think a .38 is puny? Or do you think a .38 is a good choice for a woman?
