Josh M.: thanks for the two cents worth but we were basically discussing the availability and effectiveness of a particular bullet, not what one should do in a life and death situation.
Please understand that your last two statements preach to the choir here and do not need to be spelled out in detail to the members, many of whom are combat veterans who have used handguns in close quarters combat and know full well what actions are required.
I've mentioned this before and I will say it again: that statement (made previously) is pretty harsh and is not the type of advice I like to see here. And whether I like to see it or not is not a determination for you to make. It's seems that benjaminw7528 is looking for what he feels is a more effective loading for the 45 acp for defense.
Let's stick to the topic, shall we! Moderator.
