To COM? I would say 1 9mm or 1 .357 could be enough...Guy on drugs and mad...17 9mm or 6 .357 might not be enough.

One shot stop ratios are very unreliable. Some criminals are going to quit if they get winged with a .22. Some won't stop trying to hurt you until they give their last twitch. Add that to the fact that a lot of 'street fights' tend to involve the cheapest ball ammo that they could find. That makes a huge difference in the 'statistics'.

For the interests of your question...assuming point shots to COM, IMHO, 2 rounds of anything has a better chance of disrupting the central nervous system, hitting a vital organ, or causing massive blood loss than 1 shot of anything in pistol ammo. YMMV
