What would you suggest I shoot to simulate an armed response? Please... Feel free to list the multitude of shootings you've been involved in for us , Harry.
Who said I ever shot paper? I just fill it up with ball and toss it in my purse.... Yawn.
We're not talking tactics here, just effectiveness of a handgun. You could start with trying to kill something bigger than a cat with it. Multitude of shootings? Yeah, I've killed a multitude of living things with handguns. Mostly not bigger than a jackrabbit. I got rid of my one and only .380 many moons ago. No confidence in it here after seeing its lack of penetration. If it's all one can carry, it beats a pointy stick. But confidence inspiring, it is not.
