Perp is holding a gun to your wife's head 30 ft. away in your kitchen in low light conditions. You believe he will kill her. You are armed with a 9mm semi-automatic from your nightstand.
What gun would it be? How confident would you be in the gun and for what reasons?

It depends on if my wife pissed me off that day. It may be a shotgun with 00... "Oops!"

"What gun" is NOT the issue, not even close.

Non that I know of. My thought was based on the criteria for the FBI hostage team back when they selected the Springfield Custom model. Also, anyone who writes anything has an agenda. Mine, was the idea that someone expressed concerning their carry pistol saying, "they wouldn't be concerned with the size of the groups." Made sense in context, but if it was your wife, conditions weren't ideal, and you had a narrow window, then it becomes more important than number of rounds.

What is she doing in the kitchen in the middle of the night?
Is she eating my Oreos? Because god help her if she’s eating my damn Oreos again. I told her I was saving those for lunch tomorrow.

Maybe the perp is eating your Oreos. Maybe the perp wants your wife? Maybe they both are eating your Oreos. Problem is, you have to make a quick decision. If your first thought is what dating site will I get on first, then your wife is a gone pecan in more ways than one.

Nah, I’m safe. I got divorced in order to avoid hypothetical situations like this.
Well that, and the motherfucking Oreos.

My bureau drawer gun is a SIG. Of course I can make the shot.

I was thinking “Shoot the hostage” from Speed.

If you can’t make a precise shot at 10 yards your issue isn’t your equipment.

Is the "Chack-Chack" speech an option in this scenario?
And how many oreos are left? are they double stuffed?
