Your 9MM is over rated

Best stopping power? One shot stop? Seems to match what I saw on the streets.

Analyzing 1800 Shootings: Which Caliber Has the Best Stopping Power? - Tier Three Tactical

I'll cut to the chase. Stopping power is largely a myth. Regardless of what the internet tells you, there aren't any magic rounds that are guaranteed to stop someone violently attacking you. However, there certainly are calibers that perform much better than others. This article is going to look...

.40 is looking pretty good....

If I am looking at this graph right, it surprisingly shows a .380 has a better stopping power than a 9mm.

Looks like 12 gauge, and 44 mag are not over rated?

Actually shows equivalent to .357 mag.

Pretty good coming out of a 16 inch barrel.

Wow!

Where are the hand grenades on the graph?

Like dad always told me - "shoot 'em 'til they drop. If you run outta ammo, flip it around an' beat their asses with it!"

It’s because people with .380’s and .357’s have better shot placement than those with 18 rounds of 9mm who can’t miss fast enough.

I’ll stick to my 9

It’s what I use and it’s what I train with. YMMV

"One-Shot Stop" was a thing back in the 70's.

In the current year we measure "stopping power" by Mag Dump.

17 wound channels trumps 11 all day long.

what is survivorship bias for 700 dollars Alex?
people have an issue of taking statistics like this at face value and they tend to be skewed.

I can’t figure out if the reference to 22cal is distinguished between centerfire or rimfire - does “22cal” lump 22LR and .223 together?
Did I miss it?

If wound channels equal stopping power, I choose 10 Guage with "00" buckshot. My loads are 16 pellets per shot...holds 5 rounds
Survey says...86 wound channels.
Ouch.

I imagine .223 was lumped in with rifle.

Civilians can't afford that kind of potential liability from even one of those 17 going astray into a bystander. THAT is the biggest thing being ignored - but please continue.

What are the diameter of the wound channels? Makes a difference.

So you do two back to back or 2 front to front? Or one of each?
Asking for everyone here.

Someone needs to show this to Mr Brandon.
