RE: What is the best self defense ammo???
Not dogging the last post at all but wanted to relate a story from a retired cop and current DEA agent.... anyway - he was on scene where someone was shot in the pump house with a .25. the small rounds do so little trauma that it actually took the bad guy around 7 seconds before he stopped his attack. he had to bleed out before he stopped his attack.....
consider that most self defense shootings are at a range of 7 yards or less and that it only takes a person 1.5 seconds to cross those 7 yards and you are in a LOT of trouble with an intruder.
