It may have been heresy, but I know I read years ago that old west gunfighters were more afraid of the 41 rimfire derringers than they were of ‘real’ pistol calibers because a 44/40 or 45 colt would usually pass on through while the stubby little 41 would lodge in the body, along with dragging in all kinds of dirt etc from clothes and not so clean skin. Like Jim said, I don’t want to get shot, but I think I’d rather bleed out pretty quickly than to die of an infection over the course of days or weeks!
