He hit the perp with 8 of 13 shots while wounded. The perp hit him three times before he was able to return fire.

“He hit the perp with 8 of 13 shots”

To all - the fact that the perp took 8 rounds means that the gun was too small. Not to mention that a brain shot should have been on the officer’s ‘gotta shoot’ list after the first center of mass shot failed.

Even though I carry a .44 Redhawk with Glasers, if the first didn’t do the trick, I’d go for a head shot.

“He hit the perp with 8 of 13 shots...”

Obviously fatter bullets are needed. Hard to imagine anybody moving after a couple of hits, much less 8!!!. Perhaps a .40 or .45 would be more effective?

8 out of 13, after being hit, is downright respectable, I’d say. Especially in the heat of the battle like that.
