What’s this about shooting .45 ACP? Is this bad or good? I read some people writing about “stopping power” or “knockdown power” as if a 9mm wouldn’t stop someone.

Personally I think if I got shot with a .22, I’d try to leave the premises ASAP, I don’t think I would want to wait around for the heavy artillary.

Are 9mm’s and .38’s still OK or better than nothing?

It’s nothing at all, I’m only trolling. And nobody is biting. Dang it. ;-)

I had a ex-NYPD guy tell me that a .45 to the earlobe is a wound. While a .22 to center mass will create a mass card.
