Hmmmm....
I've not had the occasion to shoot anybody, but ... if I were worried
enough to fire one shot, I don't think I'd be waiting to see if I hit the
right mark and if the subject had slowed down, especially if he/she were
close. I may be very wrong, but I think adreneline would take over and I'd
be firing several shots (and more than three in two seconds, Scott! More
like three in one second... I did that when I took my concealed handgun
test... with a gun I'd never fired before... surprised both the instructor
and myself.)
Believe it or not, I'm a very peaceful person and don't even want that .357
around here. AAMOF, it's for sale. I'll just keep the .22
