Is there any hard data to back up this statement?

This time of year in Arizona it's normal to layer clothing, we typically have 35°F temperature swings between high and low. For Camaro driving I like a 1911 in 10mm, Galco vertical rig. I live near wilderness and we have large predators as neighbors, who also like to walk on the property too.

If I lived somewhere a coat was a necessity I would absolutely be a 1911 in a shoulder rig. Hell maybe even double 1911's....

But I was wearing shorts and a T shirt today... lol

There are 2 types of bullet wound cavities. Permanent and Temporary. The permanent cavity may be impressive with frangible (although shallow which is by design) however there is nearly no temporary cavity as compared to hollowpoint. The temporary cavity delivers the shock to the attacker and their organs and nervous system. (The temporary cavity literally expands the attacker's flesh inside them causing huge shock and a large energy dump. The temporary cavities of many high caliber rifle rounds are larger than a man's chest while many pistol rounds are the size of a football). Either round will likely be fatal in the end, but I'd rather have the round that gives the better chance of stopping the attack sooner and with more punch delivered.

You're opinion/explanation about crush and stretch cavities is incorrect as related to handgun service calibers. The whole opinion about energy dump from a service caliber is a myth and it has nothing to do with wound trauma incapacitation.

There are five ways to incapacitate an attacker during a lethal force encounter;

1. Fear
2. Pain
3. Destroy the brain stem
4. Sever the spinal cord
5. Lower blood pressure (either destroy the heart or let a lot of blood out).

This is a subject better suited for the gun forums.

Also if you are interested in a 1/2 MOA 308 gas gun or precision rifle message me. We are building weapons for the public now. We have had great success for the government agencies and now selling to the public. Here are some of our weapons for a government agency that came out to Arizona for training on their new weapon platform. Each "person" choose the length of barrel, gas or bolt, color, etc.
