    Default 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).

    Is this a multiple choice question?
    You are a straight white man. You don't get to be the victim, sweetie.

    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.

    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.
