it’ll be very interesting to see caliber weapon that Wilson was using...i carry a Glock 19 9mm...might have to rethink that.
I think a 9mm would do fine if you emptied your mag into a guy.
There have been some reports that the final shot hit the perp in the forehead. My mouse gun would work fine in such a shot.
Glock 20 10mm.... Only way to be sure ;-)
Everyone I know that carries a 9mm uses hollow points or cartridges like “Critical Defense”.
To me that is tacit acknowledgement they are under-gunned.
The 9mm (.357/.38) was originally designed to put the .38 Colt cartridge into a auto-loading designed pistol. It was rejected by Army Ordinance Department (Col. Thompson of “Tommy gun” fame) as inadequate from test results on cadavers, gelatin, and sides of beef in it’s search for a new service pistol to replace the .38 revolver.....
To put this all in prospective Officer Wilson emptied (”dumped” in the words of a witness) his pistol on a charging felon who had already assaulted him once.
Many police departments require their officers to carry the 9mm then teach them to fire repeatedly until their target is down. Again tacit admission that they are under-gunned.
Note that firing a pistol is the application of “deadly force.” Given that, the firearm should be truly deadly on a range of bodily types....even 6’ 5” 290 lbs. “gentle giants” on PCP. To fire multiple times or empty your 9mm’s magazine on someone leaves a very poor image in the public’s eye.....time for the police/sheriffs to dump their full auto M-16s for the more traditional pump shotguns, and upgrade their pistols to a pistol/caliber more akin to the 19th centuries Colt “Peacemaker in .45 Colt Long......
just saying.....
