Read my post #23. I answer this guys question. Don’t agree? Well too bad, a lifetime of experience stands behind my statements, how about you? Any firefights in your past, or are you just parroting what you have heard and what you think is correct?
No doubt marksmanship trumps caliber in most situations, especially when range comes in to play. And you are no doubt correct that “learn to shoot” is better advice than simply “carry large-caliber”.
However, if a crack-head with an ax was running towards someone you love (your wife, your kid) and that someone wasn’t as good a marksman as you but did know how to shoot a gun, which would you rather they held in their hand at that moment, a .22 or a .45?
