While it is too bad that the perp survived, I can think of a number of reasons for favoring smaller caliber ammunition including:
Lower cost = more practice time.
More accuracy in a high-stress situation = less collateral damage.
Less attention from the ammunition nazis.


Problem is that those reasons will get you killed.

In the case under discussion, the bad guy was able to shoot and kill the victim.

We don’t know why he did not, but the victim was very lucky that he did not.

Possibly the face wound restricted his vision or caused him to panic. Or maybe an arm or shoulder wound disabled his shooting hand.

As for the shooter, type of ammo is as important as caliber. Many uninformed are carrying cheap ball ammo which is only suitable for range practice.

There is ammo available that will make a 9 mm effective.

I like ammo that makes big holes and starts with .4.

Buffalo Bore makes a hard cast that makes 9 mm very effective at penetrating car doors, wood , heavy winter coasts, etc. A guide killed a very angry grizzly with that ammo and if you have not read about it, a copy of the article is linked on Buffalo Bore’s web site.

Since the grizzly was in full charge and almost on top of him, the guide emptied the pistol so it is not known whether one or two shots would have done the job.

That said, I still like big holes.

“357 sends them to heaven.”

You’re using the wrong caliber if they wind up in heaven. Use a .44 mag to send them to the hot place.

Most likely was a Daisy Air Rifle. The one with the compass in the stock.

It will probably give some libtard the vapors.

Yes, sir! Too old to fight and I dont even have to really aim. When he opens the door he’s getting one if not both barrels of .410 in his chest and upper torso. Don’t believe I would have to reload.

For the ladies...it’s called a Bond Arms (made in Texas) Rowdy. It shoots .45 Long Colt bullets or/and .410 shotgun shells. Perfect size for a lady to put in a purse or holster.
Great line of weapons.
