Sidearms & Scatterguns Doctor's perspective on gunshot wounds; video.

Interesting presentation on gunshot wounds especially relating to handgun wounds. Well informed and articulated. One blatant mistake was mistakenly referring to the ".22mm round..." but other than that he seems to know his stuff.

Worth watching in my opinion.

Some really good info there. Kind of hard to carry a long gun with you though every where you go? Makes me like my .357 more then my 9mm.

Roger that on both! I'm sure that we've all heard many times that a handgun is just something you use to fight your way to a rifle. I appreciate that more now.

That being said, I can't carry a rifle all the time and when I'm home, I love just having a handgun with me as a "utility" weapon as well as a defensive weapon.

I don't feel that honest appraisal of the handguns stopping power detracts at all from its usefulness in combat, hunting, or self-defense situations, but it does drive home the Necessity of training until you are capable of killing even with a less-than-ideal weapon.

...and Yes, I love my .357 too. Pretty much the epitome of "utility gun" in my book, anyway.
