One bullet 99 times out of 100 will not stop a knife wielding assailant unless you hit head shot that penetrates the skull, or hit spine which shuts down the body. Out of all people Doc, with your service record, you would know the facts. Don't know why you are keeping on this 1 bullet will do the trick mindset.

If you haven't been keeping up with the Military, they are all complaining about the 9mm not stopping Taliban and have to use multiple rounds to put them down, and that the .45 is making a comback.

The standard firearm for the Police? 9mm.
