Idk why but recently I've wanted to get a little mouse gun in .25acp. Something tiny to hide that's more reliable than rimfire.

.22 lr has more killing power than .25 acp. At least use .32 acp, nothing smaller.

.25acp is cute CUTE!

It could work as a backup to your backup gun.
So basically carrying just for the fuck of it. Even fmj 25 doesn't pen 12 inches in gel, 32 is a much better choice. They're cool for the range and just to have in your collection

>>34316921
That is only true if the 22 is from a rifle.

>>34316777
It's a garbage round that isn't good for much of anything and costs way too much to be so close in power to 22lr that I want so bad.

Out of a pistol that size it is the same power as a 22lr but without the risk of using a rimfire round. 22 hollowpoints do not expand at velocities that low so it's better to use the 25 with that in mind. But why not a 32acp?

>>34316777
Has more potential than the outdated .22lr if ammo makers gave a damn.

>>34316777
Great caliber for its intended purpose, in my 30 years of carrying my baby browning, i had to use it in defense 3 times and almost many more. .25 acp is a great caliber within its effective and intended purposes. 2 of the times i used it, it was fatal. Never more than two or 3 shots each bout.

>>34316777
Shit.
Now I want one.

Thanks man. They don't make a comparably sized .32, do they?
I'd like something smaller than my wallet to chuck in my pocket when I go places where I can't wear the normally baggy clothing I like.

Be warned the old .32s had problems with frame cracking but supposedly the new ones fixed that.

storytime

Couldn't a double stack .25 auto be made in something about the same size as a single stack 9? but it would hold 12 rounds or something like that

>>34319202
You would be better off with the single stack 9. The only reason for using .25ACP is if you cannot or don't want to carry something bigger.

>>34319348

Is that a picture of the tweeker?

>>34316777
With modern tech: yes, since you can have similarly sized and lighter .32.

And .22 lr is much more reliable than 100 years ago.

Maybe if you make some sort of pocket double stack?

>>34318593
The entire point with .22LR is low cost, that's why it's rimfire, that's why it's got a heeled bullet without a jacket.

Updating it is not in anyone's interest and if you want small caliber high performance there are cartridges just for you.

>since you can have similarly sized and lighter .32
There's also shit like Lehigh Extreme Cavitators that make .32ACP penetrate deep enough to consistently matter, so a little Beretta Tomcat (or larger Cheetah) can actually have pretty deadly performance.

Stop speaking retardese or get off 4chan.
>giving a rats ass about what genpop thinks of you or what you do
I think he should do his yard work wearing only that mask and a speedo. Maybe one of those Arab bedsheet tunics because they're comfy.

>retarded sight
>retarded calibre
conclusion: no.

>>34320906
This also. Modern .32 can be pretty competetive.

25acp best pocket pistol round

>>34324363
Fuck that

Seecamp 32 for all your pocket gat BUG needs

>>34320872
The point of .22lr is not low cost, it was an update to the .22 long, another outdated 19th century rimfire round.
>Updating it is not in anyone's interest
True. Ditching it in favor of .25 acp would be.

>>34316777
It has more energy than .22lr in subsonic loadings and is better suited to double stack magazines. It's a shame no one makes a full-sized .25 pistol.

>The only reason for using [a smaller caliber] is if you cannot or don't want to carry something bigger.
No shit? I guess that's why .22 lr pistols are so popular.

like what, 25 acp?

I want one of the older .25 pocket pistols, but can't bring myself to spend more than $100 on one.
