Whole heartedly agree. We are in this for self defense, not clearing rooms, or advancing on the bad guys. Our objective is getting out of Dodge in one piece. Avoid the shoot out if at all possible. If it isn't possible, then shoot, but make it count. Don't panic. Take your time. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. If you've handled your fire arm enough you instinctively know how it feels in your hand. Some just feel right and others never do. If yours is one of the latter, you need another one. Semi-Auto's just don't fit my hand, so I forego the extra rounds. I'm not going to need more than 6 rounds anyway. Statistics say 1 to 3 is enough. If the Semi-Auto's fit your hand, that's what you need. Just make sure you make the right choice because when the doo doo hits the fan every micro-second counts.
In passing ... leave the FMJ's at the range. You're going to be dealing with soft targets. Take a hint from the Border Patrol back when they were carrying .357's. They knew soft targets was what they would encounter. What did they choose? It for sure wasn't three layers of denim and fourteen inches of penetration like the FBI. It was Win 110 Grn HP's. Lousy penetration, but dumped a lot of energy real fast. Perfect for their use and pretty much perfect for self defense.
