As an aside, Glasers work so well because of complete energy dump. Hollow-points are effective for the same reason. Glasers beat hollow-points because the frangible interior just liquefies what it hits, preventing any sort of return to even partial function in the damaged area. Mag-safe has a similar design using somewhat larger shot and is apparently even more effective in various tests (including the infamous goat test). Neither has any greater one-shot-stop potential than a properly designed hollow-point anywhere other than a trunk hit though.
The lesson here is aim for center mass, know your weapon well (through practice), and use the best load you can with whatever weapon you choose.
(As an aside, I use Federal Hydra-shoks for carry. The only reason I don't use Glasers/Mag-safes is because I will not carry a load that I have not shot extensively, and I just ain't wealthy enough to drop a coupla dollars a shot on practice runs.)
