when training with my browning high power ive always practiced the "double tap" because in general i dont fully trust the effectiveness of the 9mm round. now i dont wish to turn this into a "9mm vs. .45acp" debate.....i know there are some quality hot 9mm rounds available but for whatever reason if im not confident in it, im just not confident in it. ive also trained to double tap my ar15 because regardless of what the numbers say, its still a .22 calibler projectile and i feel more confident in hitting my target with more than one.
when training with my 1911s however, ive never bothered with practicing the double tap because:
1) i fully believe in the capability of the .45acp round
2) i fully believe in my ability to hit my target exactly where i intended to hit it with my 1911
3) the capacity of a 1911 doesnt leave a lot of room for double tapping
that said, these days im carrying a hi capacity (13 rounds) hk usp .45. the high capacity would afford me more room for double tapping, but i wonder how necessary it really is. i understand the importance of the ability to hit with a follow up shot if necessary, but im wondering if others feel its necessary to train to instinctually double tap a .45?
thanks,
