Just a quick question for those of you trying to decide if Dr. Courtney's theory on BPW is worth taking a look at, consider this;

Assuming the same bullet construction for each and that they'll all penetrate around that magical 12" mark, give or take a couple inches, between all of: 380 Auto, 38 Special, 9mm Luger, 9mm Luger +P/+P+, 357 SIG, and 357 Magnum, do you believe all will incapacitate equally on average?

I don't. I believe 380 Auto and 38 Special will always be on the low end of expectation, and that 357SIG and 357 Magnum will always be on the upper end of expectation. Heck, in my mind for me personally, it's not even opinion, it's fact.
