Yea, Video at least is a prime reason why not to use a glock for self defense

What does that have to do with Glock? As far as stopping power, Glock is no different than any other handgun using the same caliber...

i remember a story about a woman whose house was broken into. She drew a revolver, low caliber, connected 6 shots around center mass. Robber then walked out of the house and drove ~5 miles before dying.
Proficiency wont always save you.

Journalists make great actors for scripts like this. Anyone remember the BBC reporter saying that WTC building 7 had collapsed when it was in the background behind her?

I still get a kick out of that. People dont realize theyre literally just actors. I really dont understand how anyone can ignore that clear as day evidence.

home defense and trunk gun = shotgun with 00 buck / slugs

depending on a pistol to defend the castle is pretty sub-optimal even if you're a cowboy action shooter. Not like it takes more than 5 min to get proficient with a 12 gauge anyway.

Heres the story.
My memory was a little off on the distance and shot placement, been quite a while.
but 5 shots to the face and neck with a .38 , and he was able to drive off.
Id expect that from a bear, minus the driving. But never a man, heh

"center mass"

I bet you she connected maybe 1 or 2 in the torso, the rest went into extremities.

Like i said before, the best gun for self defense is the one you shoot well. People always mock the .380, but I don't see anyone volunteering to get shot with one.

Get a 7+1 shotgun, load it with bird shot and little to no choke.
Proficiency at its finest. lol
