A pause for the COZ

We haven't really looked into toning it down for home protection use. I get it though its a very violent round in noise and flash.
Weighing the desire for as much power as possible against that issue.
IMOP 32's at low velocity just wont get it done. It can kill them but may be not before they get you. Same debate as .380's
We have been practicing closing the other eye when firing at night and indoors to preserve night vision.
My home gun is a 45acp so not so much of a issue. I let 230gr's do the work in that case.
The noise issue is secondary in a life and death situation. You have to still be alive to not be able to hear.
I dont have any real life experience shooting people. ( Thank God)
100% of what I know I have seen on You Tube ect. But I watch these as close as I can. One of three things happen.
#1 The gun comes into play and the perp runs. ( the prefered result)
#2 He is undeterred and takes many rounds before succumbing.
#3 The only ones I have seen that result in incapacitation. Have been a good shot. Or larger caliber.
Thats completely unscientific on my part.
