I SAW A FRIEND OF MINE SHOOT AN AMERICAN BUFFALO, AT MAYBE 30 - 40 YARDS, WITH A 500 A SQUARE RIFLE (HIS ELEPHANT RIFLE AND LOAD). HE SHOT IT GOOD IN THE SHOULDER AND THE BULL JUST STOOD THERE. HE THEN PUT 2 MORE INTO HIM, FORMING A BEAUTIFUL 3 SHOT CLOVERLEAF, AND STILL THE BULL STOOD THERE, FINALLY HE WENT DOWN AND EVENTUALLY EXPIRED. THE FIRST SHOT KILLED HIM BUT MY FRIEND KEPT PUMPING HIM. WE DID NOT BELITTLE HIM FOR THE 2 XTRA SHOTS, NOR DID WE DOUBT THE 500 A SQUARE, WE JUST MARVELED AT THE BISON'S TENACITY.

Thanks for answering. Looks like you've never had a bullet failure in a handgun....looks like a lot of your distrust in some handgun bullets is through others experiences. You never know, they might not be as bad as you think if you shoot something with one (jacketed bullets) out of a handgun
