That's Caliber vs Shot placement folks..

It depends on many factors.

Anyone who shoots understands that there are many variables involved in good marksmanship. So, for personal protection lets just focus on two: Caliber verses shot placement.

There is a wealth of information available, studies, experiments and personal experience to support both sides, but how do you view it?

My opinion is shot placement is more important. You can have a canon but if you can’t hit the target it’s no more than a noise maker.

No doubt that's a reflection of my experience with firearms and doesn't make it the correct opinion/ conclusion for everyone.

I am taking of pistols for personal and home protection.

What do you think?
