Several weeks ago -- well before the Texas church shooting -- I had a discussion with a friend who is a retired police chief and law enforcement firearms trainer. I said something about the triple tap (two to center of mass, assess, then one to the head if the threat wasn't stopped). He said that's no longer valid, because too many bad guys now are wearing armor.

He didn't advocate shooting to slide lock, but he said a practical minimum is five to six shots, then stop to assess.
