But not the guy with a 9mm/.40/.357/.45 in his hand, or 5ft away with a knife, or even baseball bat. Or multiple other aggressor scenarios.

Please provide real-world examples.

I used to work with a fat guy who’s wife emptied a Raven 25 auto into his gut one Friday night. He was back to work on Monday morning.

There is new ammo for the 32 acp that make it a formidable tool, especiallyt with second and third shot placement with the nearly non-shocking recoil.

Started WWI you mean? In the book, Casino Royale, James Bond carried a .25 when dressed in a tuxedo. The .25 has put a lot of beefy guys in the morgue.

One of the rare cases in which one shouldn’t aim for center mass. Wow. Was the wife sentenced? Like, ordered to go to the store to buy a box of band-aids?

As I recall he didn’t press charges. This guy used to walk around the workplace singing a little tune out loud “It’s cheaper to keep her!” Even after she shot him - lol

"...Glock just updated their .40 S&W to Gen5...not a sign of decay whether you love or hate Glocks..."

I was thinking the very same thing. This article seems somewhat like clickbait.
Just saw a concealable Glock G27 Gen5 at my local gunshop in the past week or so.

9mm is what
I call “.38 Short!”

[Texas Fossil]

9mm is much faster, much lighter bullet (normally) and almost always shoots jacketed bullets.

There are some Jacketed Hollow Points now, but I reload for lead bullets. Cheap shooting. And still effective.

Where in that document does it refute my original assertion that when a gun comes out, everyone scatters?

Here's some real world examples of what I'm saying.

New York Gunfight Has Unfortunate Victim

Every Gunfight Is A Competition

Prepared Defender Is Paying Attention When Getting Into His Car

Correct
Started WWI

Aw that is too bad.

Glad to hear they are back in action. I don’t want to see the .45 Colt go obsolete. It can’t be a super popular cartridge. I don’t think most Colt SAA owners shoot them that much and most lever guns are in .44mag or .30-30 and such.
