I've taken a number of training courses and none of them teach a double tap as the solution to a problem ... with some variations, all teach that you shoot to stop the threat; if it takes one shot, you're golden. If it takes five or six, keep shooting ... Stop the attack; if that means emptying your gun into a PCP-crazed attacker, so be it. But if one shot is sufficient -- and perhaps not fatal, which would be a good outcome for all concerned -- then one shot is enough.
