That's exactly what a fellow I know who has MN & Utah Permit to Carry training says. He also says that "hollow point" ammunition for the same purpose, though effective, prosecuters and juries may say you're using to do undue damage to the perpetrator. This fellow has both extensive military and 30 year civilian law enforcement firearms trainer experience and a veterarn of L.A. Sheriff's dept. He had to face such a situation at least once when he had to use his sidearm against a felon who was threatening him.
The legal system is not your friend should anyone use deadly force even in a justifiable situation. So, you need to do everything possible including choices ammunition to give the other side as little as possible to make a jury believe you were trying to do anything other than at a last resort trying to stop someone who posed a deadly threat to you, you family or other innocents.
