For the law enforcement officer and the civilian who may be in a
situation that requires the use of a handgun to stop a lethal
threat action, it is important that the person differentiates
between the crass, glib and self-serving advertisements of
ammunition vendors and the reality of how, what and why effective
stopping power occurs.
Factors to consider are the physiological response, the
psychological response, the time frame parameter and bullet
efficacy. Of these four factors, only bullet efficacy can be
somewhat controlled by the person, this only by understanding how
and to what extent the bullet contributes to the degree of stopping
power obtained.
A number of concepts / formulae have been included so as to
permit the reader to consider their merits and whether or not they
are consistent with the reality of biology, physics and other
relevant sciences.
Finally the material in this book is intended to permit those
persons to instruct, teach or make decisions regarding the
selection of a service handgun/cartridge combination that will help
to provide the means to prevail in a lethal threat
confrontation.
