After watching the video from Federal I could swear that I heard him say that a faster lighter recoiling pistol would allow you to pump more rounds into the target. Increasing your odds for a hit. That sounds like what we used to call spray and pray. Col Jeff Cooper must be rolling in his grave.
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

Or it might just increase the number of hits:

I have never seen a gun port before. Why does this guy cant to the left? I would think empty brass would get hung up on the way out? Who had to shoot through gun ports?

A lot of what he's referencing is for competition type shooting. The scope is good for longer ranges and then he added an red dot positioned at about 45 degrees off plumb for close shots. It's fast to transition between the two. Doesn't affect the brass ejection in the slightest.
The gun port board is called a "viking tactics" or VTAC board. Have no idea where the name came from. It's used a lot in run and gun, 3-gun and similar competitions to test your knowledge of external ballistics. Typically used at 100-250 yards. If you don't understand the flight off the bullet in relationship to your optic, it will mess you up. It's more of a study in ballistics, than a practical skill, but can't hurt having the knowledge.
How effective all this is when there's bullets coming back at you is understandably debatable.
I think a gun that hits where you look is best no matter the caliber. Too many small guns with fixed sights shoot so far off that in a situation, you will forget. Change loads to get the right center.
My experience is that when someone is trying to kill you, you will want to kill him first. Being fast and accurate should be the goal and is attainable for most if you put in the work. I started out w/ an M-16 and a .45. Now prefer an AR15 and a 9mm. Once carried a.357 too, still far prefer the 9mm.

My feeling is speed is way overrated. If a truly bad person simply wants to kill you the advantage the guy with the gun already out holds is huge. Trying to quick draw under the circumstances is foolish.
Figuring out how to draw without being noticed as a threat is huge. Obviously, being shot at means it is time to draw regardless, but I doubt that situation is anything like as common...
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

So you decided the 9mm gives you better killing power than a 45?
