The addition of new guns to the stable is always a great idea! Still, your 9mm will send that fellow back into the bushes (or more literally under the bushes) with no trouble and with 20 rounds, you got plenty of "do-overs" in case your shaky.maximus2161 wrote:And while I want to move back up to a larger caliber my XDm and P30 in 9mm are no slouches I guess. 20 rounds of 9mm JHP is better than zero rounds of .44 mag, .45 ACP, .357, etc.
You handled it great. More important than anything else is that you were paying enough attention to actually notice someone coming out of the bushes, which is the key to survival regardless of what tools you do or don't have. Having your kid with you changes the dynamic of any encounter, and increases the likelihood of being distracted so I think you get an "A". I hope the cops get that guy before he comes across someone who is not paying as much attention as you were.
