I agree. If somebody gets shot in the eye socket, with a .22LR, they are gonna stop attacking. However, I don't think for one minute, I am gonna be able to put that shot in my attacker's eye socket.
Heck, I think I'd be lucky to put a shot on my attacker's thigh. I'm gonna be pumped up on adrenalin. I'm gonna be practically ****ing my pants. And my attacker is probably not going to cooperate by presenting a stationary broadside profile...just like my paper targets.
That said, I don't think a handgun is the way to go, for me, in home defense. Not much that comes out of the end of a handgun barrel, is going to stop a determined and mindless attacker, unless it is properly placed. However, even a well off center hit, with 12 gauge buckshot, is likely to end the threat.
Just my opinion on "shot placement". Take care. Tom Worthington
