Not a good man-stopper for a determined attacker. The idea is to stop a bad guy from doing any (any more) harm. The .25 ACP doesn't have a good track record for this. It does have a good record for lethality, but that is from the bad guy getting away and dying later (sometimes days). As has been stated though, it is better than nothing. The Valor doesn't seem to have the good reputation for functioning and durability that some of the other more expensive brands have, i.e. Beretta, Taurus, Browning, Colt, and FIE Titan, etc.
