Every action has exceptional events. For every person who survives multiple rounds to center mass, the r Wil literally be hundreds who go down with a simple shot in the shoulder, or other non disabling hit.

If the chances of a bad guy taking a metric fartload of hits from an expert like yourself and still firing his weapon and wounding you afterwards are maybe 500 to 1, why would anyone choose to take shots at a probably moving target the size of a pummelo?

Myself, just like a hip shot, my chances of getting a beautiful, knockout shot in a big hurry are probably no better than even before the by fires at me.

I'd love to hear from real cops and trainers, hear their policies for training. Shoot for mostly reliable center mass, or take the time to s t art with an alternative target Thais a much smaller disabling zone?

I refuse to even contemplate calling a femur shot as a kill zone. Nothing down there will do anything more than put the shooter on h I s knees and eventually bleed out.
