The Indiana State Police observed several with the S&W M66 when that weapon was still their duty weapon prior to their adoption of the 9mm Beretta M92FS. During part of that time I was a city police motorcycle cop working traffic [carrying a Browning GP per my chief's authorization] and we'd seen several other city police departments with the same difficulty.
This was usually more a problem with using the wrong ammo in the guns, usually 110 or 158-grain JHPs rather than the preferred 125-grain JHP or 158 grain lead hollowpoint, particularly in 2.5" barrelled .357 snubbies. But even after multiple .38/.357 hits there have been those determined assailants who survive long enough to also kill their opponent. A hit that eventually kills is sometimes not enough, whether it's a single hit or multiples that result. If only one connects, it needs to be the very best suited to the job.
