Re: Can a 9mm stop someone
A 9mm or even 10mm typically isn't enough for a male pitbull on PCP. What you want is a 40mm. With extra magazines incase he's in a pack (they usually are).

Re: Can a 9mm stop someone
9mm vs. bear:
black bear in you trash-Maybe
grizzley going after you- NO
9mm vs. pit bull:
Unless dog supernatural- yes if you do your job
9mm vs. 300 lb attacker (human):
Assuming normal person and shot placement in the A zone- yes (most of the time)
Variables include size of target, type of ammo (fmj is notorious for wounding, not killing), and other issues such as rage, drug use and health.

9 mm probably. 9 cm definitely!
Know your audience. Don't try to sell a Prius at a Monster Truck Rally.

Re: Can a 9mm stop someone
There are a handful of 9mm loads that have a long and distinguished record of stopping with one shot. My favorite is the old Federal 9BPLE: 115 gr. JHP @1,300 ft/s. It was used by the ISP for many years, and nobody ever complained about stopping power. It was also used by quite a few other police dept., with zero complaints. Street proven round.
