All you one shot guys need to take a few minutes away for this site and research what happens to people who find themselves in a deadly force defense situation.
1. Fear. Everyone is going to experience it.
2. Adrenalin. It going to be pumping like mad which is going to cause you to be unsteady.
Both factors are going to affect your ability to shoot strait. Heck, cops and soldiers who train for confrontations miss a lot of shots for those reason and they are wearing vest and a heck of a lot of the time have backup. Soldiers quickly improve in combat zones because they get accustomed to returning fire. Cops, thank God, don't get into those situations very often.
Now getting on to the original question. The 38 isn't very powerful. Plus we would have to know what she was shooting. If it was FMJ round nose they are not going in far nor will they expand much. Granted the gun/ammo did it's intended job of stopping this guy. But now this lady may be sued by the bum because he was only wounded. It also take practice to shoot a double action pistol because of the trigger pull. Most people don't shoot enough to really be good with one or cock it before firing each shot to reduce the pull on the range or plinking. Plain hard truth is that the bigger the round and the harder hitting it is will produce better results. The down side to things like a 357 or 44 mag is the round may go through a bad guy and hit someone else.......like a family member.
