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.

and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Carrying a gun is a right, not a crime.

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.

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.

Good articles. I will say caliber matters for at least one third. But that one third could be the difference.

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.
