Thanks for posting. My son has a copy of "Street Stopper" by Marshall. It should be in every gun owners library. It's actually a compilation of all the better known studies on bullet performance from the early goat studies to the computer man.

In Michigan, a policewoman fired two light, fast .38 hollow points into a gunman’s chest, and apparently believing that this had done the job, lowered her service revolver. Instead of collapsing, however, the assailant raised his gun and shot her in the head, killing her instantly.

Well, she'll never make THAT mistake again...

"The Geneva Conventions and Hague Accords require that the bullets used not be designed to expand. Essentially, they call for full metal jacket projectiles that just punch neat, clean holes through the bodies of enemy soldiers."

The above doctrine makes no sense to me. We are allowed to destroy them grenades, blow them up with bombs, but in no way punch nasty holes through our enemies with soft point rifle ammunition? The .223 Remington would be far more effective with hollow points for our troops if we would abandon the rediculous Geneva bullet doctrine.

It's also too bad the U.S. Military doesn't toss the M-9 and adopt a handgun like the Heckler and Koch .45 USP as the standard handgun.

He doesn't even mention what I thought was the one-shot stop champion of all time - Peters 125 grain half-jacketed hollowpoint in .357 Mag. Also, if Winchester SXT or Ranger T, the CCI Gold Dot, and the Remington Golden Saber with 155-grain bullets in .40 S&W work so well, do the previous comments running down the performance of Hydra-Shoks in all but .45 apply and so should I go to something else in my .40? Answer to own question: I guess I will.

I *know* shot placement is critical but since I don't shoot people every day I don't get a lot of chances to get accustomed to shooting anything but paper and steel.
