Re: Tulsa LEO Kills man with stalled car
Reviewing the thread I read the autopsy report. One shot on a large, obese male, penetrated both lungs. I have not been able to find out what gun and ammunition was used.
God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can
and the Wisdom to know the difference.
Carrying a gun is a right, not a crime.
Gun control is racist.

Re: Tulsa LEO Kills man with stalled car
Best guess based on this article would be a 4th gen Glock 22 (that's a .40 Cal. for those of us that don't know glock speak) No idea what flavor of .40 cal ammo they use though.catfish86 wrote:Reviewing the thread I read the autopsy report.

Re: Tulsa LEO Kills man with stalled car
Sounds likely it was a .40...if so, regardless of the justification...one stop shot of a large male high on PCP. Impressive.

Until then, shot placement with any commercially available ammunition will offer you the best chance of maximizing your duty ammunition’s stopping power.

Re: Tulsa LEO Kills man with stalled car
Good articles. I will say caliber matters for at least one third. But that one third could be the difference.

Re: Tulsa LEO Kills man with stalled car
Shot placement is important, yes. Accuracy is key (so use what you're most accurate with, against a clock).
Using a projectile that is 2x the size of another (.22 vs .40/.44/.45) affords a margin of error that could also prove useful, yes.
