Aim or empty
I would get out of the line of fire, obviously he has the drop on you already. Then again, in this scenario it sounds like you could be the car jacker, so I don't care if you get blasted.
I think this is the kind of scenario we were warned about posting. Good luck. |

Inconsistent enforcement...
...is no enforcement at all.
Charlie just closed a threat because he said he doesn't want law-enforcement tactics discussed on the board. Now we have a discussion on law enforcement tactics using the word 'clip.' What's next, FBI agents discussing fully-automatic bolt-action rifles?

The only reason to winchester a gun is to give covering fire so you, or others, can get to cover. That is suppressive fire. It's ok especially if you have enough ammo to give some real suppression of the incomming fire (5 shot J frames don't do so well.)
I can see if suddenly fired upon by someone in a car that is difficult to hit one might fire as fast as they could wile retreating (or advancing). Some type of ambush situation. But for most SD situations, if you can see what you need to shoot, then aim and hit it.

My uncle, a retired LEO, just left 5 minutes ago. I showed him this OP, he read it, shook his head and asked: "Why the h*ll would a cop even ask that question, I put my glasses on for that"?
I'm no cop, but I know several. It seems this would be well covered in training. Yeah, you do what you need to in real-life, but emptying a "clip"? So the place is littered with brass & glass, and you have an empty sidearm. You're going to explain this to your superiors....How? I've got to agree with my uncle.
