1) He was carrying a Smith & Wesson. Get rid of that piece of crap and buy a real pistol.
2) He only shot him five times. The magazine probably held at least eight. Three should have gone in the trashbag's skull.
3) He feels bad about shooting this piece of garbage. It would make sense to feel bad if he MISSED, but he didn't.
But all in all, a story with a happy ending.
ExcuhYOOZE MOI?
My absolutely fave handgun is my 686P. "Did he fire 7 shots, or only 6?" But I like my sigs pretty much too.
Smith makes great revolvers, I've owned several. Their automatics leave much to be desired, however. Every time I see a cop carrying a S&W auto, I always feel like going over and expressing my sympathy to him. Of course, they'd think I was being a smart-ass, so I don't.
I have a 5906 that was a police contract over-run that I purchased brand new. It jammed with factory ammo on the third magazine. It's frightening to think that our men and women in law enforcement have to cope with this kind of equipment.
Get rid of that piece of crap and buy a real pistol.

What handgun do you recommend?
I don't know about that. The woman wasn't being raped, the man acted as a policeman without said authority.... something's not quite right about this story....
