Unless I'm mistaken, there are no personal defense rounds manufactured or sold in .22 LR? Is the design of the cartridge reliable enough to warrant trusting it for self defense? Is a rimfire cartridge ever guaranteed to be 100% reliable?
We're both wrong but you are somewhat more right than I am.James Bond uses .32s and .380s usually. He might use 9mm now, though.
Thank you Vert I will check out the Walther PK380.
A .22 with the right round can be as effective as any other load...
Really? 9mm, 45ACP, 357 magnum?
.22 kills just as easily as anything else. I knew a guy who off'd himself with a .22. Bullet went in, and never came out. (he didnt want to leave a mess for his wife to have to clean up)
with the unquestionable effectiveness of the .22LR round, it amazes me the DoD has not started issuing our troops the Colt/Umarex .22LR M4s.
Yes, really. If you can't handle a 22, you sure as shootin' aren't going to be better with any of those loads. My point is that it all comes down to the person using the gun.Really? 9mm, 45ACP, 357 magnum?
And there was a kid In Detroit a few years ago who survived 3 close range blasts from a 12 gauge, one of which was to his head. Your point is invalid.Neighbors shocked after 4 teens shot at Clearfield party
The kid was shot in the throat by a .22. The only damage was the entrance hole. The kid actually swallowed the bullet and doctors retrieved it from his stomach. Minor surgery and he was on the road to recovery, thank God.
