One round from my .475 Linebaugh (400gr @ 1400FPS) would have done the same thing. If it can stop an Alaskan Brown, it can stop a deranged twit.

She used a weapon she could hit with, to good effect.

Hits with a 9 are better than misses with an elephant gun.

And even if you have a BIG, BIG gun with BIG, BIG bullets, you still need BIG, BIG stones to close the range on a shooter while taking fire and still put him down.

Congratulations to the heroine of this affair.

We need an open record push for the autopsy photos, let those be the ones that the press gets for the copycats...

And here we have the essence of who she is.

She is somebody who did not hesitate to engage the bad guy, even though he had a long arm and she just had a pistol.

Most definitely. My response was in the context of dispelling the rumor that revolvers were somehow inferior.
