There is nothing wrong with using a .22 for HD or CCW.

22 are great very low recoil & get a good semi-auto like ruger sr22 can fire several shots very quickly

but 22 ammo is more prone to misfires than centerfire ammo & obviously does not hit as hard

but if you have hand problems dealing with recoil then yes 22 is great

i recently upgraded from 22 to 380 and so far doing ok, i can't shoot as fast & have to grip much harder

Itll likely do the job regardless of how badly the practice gets denegrated. In certain cirumstances its even the best solution for certain individuals for carry though i couldnt say the same for HD.

Determined attackers are a small minority of violent criminals and pulling out a gun and shooting at them will deter the vast majority of criminals from continuing whatever actions were scaring you enough to pull out a gun.

No its not ideal, but neither is using a pistol either. Just another comprimise to make for those whose conditions make it a rational decision.

Moreso nowadays than before--quality control has really slipped with the .22lr being pumped out at full breakneck speeds. I've even had multiple duds in the same box of CCI Mini-Mags, which up until then I thought was toppest-tier of non-specialty .22lr.

No.

>Muh shot placement is a straw man when dealing with large chemically enhanced criminals undergoing adrenaline dumps.

.32ACP is the absolute bare minimum and considering the selection of new firearms the real minimum is .380ACP.

Stick with duty grade cartidges like 9mm, .40 and .45

Fuck off with your shitty irrelevant country that can't even trust its troops with loaded firearms in war zones.

If you are using 9mm for HD kill yourself. Get a rifle or a shotgun. For ccw any gun will do for the most part. If you mag dump a .22lr at a car jacket he is going to take the hint. And situation awareness it 99% more important.

There is plenty wrong with it it's just not as terrible as people say it is.

A little 10/22 or 597 with a red dot and 20 round mag would work fine for HD.

It wouldn't be ideal, but it would be fine.

Enjoy your permanent hearing damage.

t. audiologist that cares about your long-term hearing and would prefer that you use a .22

>>31867045
No thanks, I'd rather not clear a house with an 18inch or 16 inch barrel.

9mm's and .40's kill uppity crackheads nearly every day in America. They don't become magically less offensive crossing your property line.

Virtually all .22 handguns are unreliable turds and or as big as other handguns.

>>31866495
a .22 pistol is still going to be about as loud as a .380/9mm. there is no point to a .22 pistol

Nope. You break in my house, you will die with a minimum of 3 Speer Gold Dot 9mm +P made holes.

I'm 99% sure you don't use it for either, and just argue about it for the sake of argument.

I'd rather have hearing damage than loose a gun fight
