Teddy speaks from experience but I think some of this is outdated.

I can tell you for a fact based on personal experience that a closely spaced double-tap with one heavy & slow round and one lite & fast round will disrupt more tissue that a double tap with either two lite & fast rounds or two heavy & slow rounds.

More disrupted tissue translates into more damage which translates to the more likelihood of stopping the threat.

Could you elaborate on the combo round double tap from your experience?

Were you able to secure a LWS 32 from Peter?

Thanks

I think Richard shoots the 147 gr and likes it.  Tom

True. I've adopted the "big-and-slow" philosophy when it comes to defensive carry ammunition, although I recognize that many reasonable minds differ on the subject. My R9 has never rejected a 147-grain Remington Golden Saber BJHP cartridge, and I've been impressed with the range results produced with the round using a variety of targets.
