As long as you feel your or some one else's life is threatened and you decide you are going to take action, whatever you can carry that makes the out come in your favor and is legal is good!
Your intent should be to stop the threat.
Making sure the threat is removed accomplishes that!
One point to make:
These seem to be 9mm's right now(with more cal's to come). Really to long a story to tell and it was 9mm silver tips but, with the results of a police action shooting my department got rid of 9mm's and went to .45's.
A subject was wanted on a felony warranty for murder. He was found crouching in a closet. When the officer opened the sliding closet door the felon started to raise his gun. Officer, standing almost on top of the perp, fired his 9mm twice. The 1st shot bounced off the forehead, the 2nd went under the skin, traveled around the head, exiting at the ear. Neither penetrated!!!! Of course they did knock the perp out.
Lack of penetration of various 9mm ammo and other smaller calibers has been noted in many police action shootings, particularly if the perp is wearing heavy clothing, as in it's winter!
Have no idea what this ammo will do in the 9mm caliber but, I carry a .45!!!!!!
