[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 601313, member: 9"] Also remember that any live confrontation is filled with panic, "slow motion perception," difficult to aim accurately, confrontation may be in dim light or at risk for collateral damage, etc. Even with a high score in practice on targets, an actual encounter may have a wide range of hit patterns and/or misses. Unless one has been professionally trained at one of the high-end range schools, it is darn better to "lie in wait" for an intruder than to nervously start to "clear rooms" as a novice. Homeowners have died after walking down the hall, discovering an intruder, then going back to get and load their gun. Another item: Revolvers only (as a rule) hold 6 shells. Pulling the trigger is slower (for most people) than using a semi-automatic with a lighter trigger pull. You want to get shots off to stop the threat before the intruder advances too close and/or starts firing at you! The pros always say to aim for the largest part of the target...only trained snipers with sophisticated equipment go initially for a head shot... On another note: If you are out somewhere and you encounter a charging wild hog, bear, or such...you want something with a lot of punch and that will fire more than once easily and rapidly as needed. ;-) [/QUOTE]
