I understand the need for stopping power, but to stop a target you need to hit a target.

As always Im ready to be corrected by them what knows more than I do but my personal experience is that the larger the caliber the harder it is to reacquire the target.

A .22 doesn't hit hard but is easy to get back on target for 2 or 3 rounds since it doesn't move much on discharge. I know this from my own experience. Plus, a hollow point .22 in the chest especially a lung will cause a sheet ton of bleeding.

If someone can't manage the bang of a 9mm/ .38 then maybe a ,22/ .25 would suffice. No weapon is effective if you can't get on target.

I get that the length of a shotgun barrel is hard to manage but if she is at one end of a hallway and the perp at the other.....
