And before trying to degrade someone's knowledge of ballistics, you need to fully understand what they're saying.

these are your words as you stated, "it should only take one shot to stop someone, and almost anything larger than a 25 auto will do it" then you reverse yourelf and state, " I'm not relying on one shot. I'm saying one shot can do it." i do agree with this in a sense. one shot could do it if shot palcement is perfect. yes, and even any caliber could do the job if it hits the right spot to do enough damage. but my point is, i would never consider one shot to eliminate any threat, that is intent on doing me harm. i want him shut down quickly as possible. multiple shots insure more massive and quicker blood loss.
i will stand by my original theories, of carry the largest caliber you can shoot accurately and control. shot placement is critical and more important than the size of the caliber you carry. well placed hits with even a smaller caliber are more effective than misses with a larger one. i also believe practice is a key element in being able to hit your intended target accurately.
