I'm moving to a sketchy side of town and am buying a handgun

The p22 is garbage and 22lr is an unreliable round.

You're a faggot.

Get a P30

or a glock if you're a poorfag

Can a .22 kill? I've read differing reports

>>34354514

P22 is a great 22 plonker but 22 long rifle is inherently poor at cycling due to the rim so all 22 mag fed guns won't cycle perfectly every time. Also, 22 seems to have more duds than 9mm.

Get the 9mm if you value your life, not just because of power but mostly because of reliability. A glock 43 is a small slim reliable gun, other names also have reliable guns that fit the niche but I'd carry a glock 43 over many of them.

Yes, it does, just too slowly to be useful normally. You probably don't want to have to have to shoot someone and hope they don't kill you until they bleed to death

>>34354572
>can it kill
only if you shoot them in the eye and the bullet bounces around.
But really 9mm is ideal.

>>34354572
It can kill, but it will not do so reliably with one or two hits.

9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP are the trinity of self-defense cartridges for semi-autos.

.357 mag and .38 SPC +P are considered good revolver cartridges.

.380, and .32 ACP are the bare minimum for sub-compact semi-autos. Be a good shot.

Nigga a rock can kill. A sling can kill. "Can it kill?" is a poor question to ask. If you're a poorfag, and it sounds it, you're probably looking for something in the middle of Cost, Power, Concealability, and Penetration. A compact 9mm is pretty much square in the middle. There are a ton of guns in that niche. I'd look to spend $300-$400 and have ~$200 put aside for ammo, holster, cases, and a CC class. Go to a pawn shop and finger fuck all the guns. Then go to a different pawn shop and do the same. Then go to a big box store and do it a third time, then think about it. Then check Gunbroker/Armslist and see if you can get a deal. Factor in the ~35 for shipping and the ~30 for FFL transfers/background check.

You can get a new Stoeger Cougar in 9mm for ~290 shipped, it's a decent gun, maybe a little chunky for carry, but comfy in the hand, and a good company.

just get a 1911 in 45 or are you some kind of communist faggot

Pretty much, yeah. Catch one of those rocks, and if you're not dead, you're very very unhappy. But I still wouldn't recommend someone CC a sling to defend himself against redguards.

fuck off back to /pol/

>Redpill me on .22 vs 9mil for self defense.
Theres literally no reason to use .22 for self defense over any common pistol caliber. 9mm is fine with the right ammo.

Get a 40 or 45, the 22lr cycles poorly in my experience. Nothing really wrong with 9mm, but might as well have a bigger bullet.

9mm will kill groid more better.

>>34354514
I have a p22 and I would not trust my life with it.

>>34354514
what the fuck is that thing on the pig's head OP?
I'll assume from the filename that you took that picture

>>34355321
It's a screen cap from a pig slaughtering video

>>34355104
Yeah, slings are stupidly lethal if you know how to use one. But more or less useless if you haven't practiced for half your life.

>>34355321
That's a sledge hammer. You stun the pig with a blow to the head, then hoist it up by its hind legs and slit its throat. Kinda brutal, but you are trying to kill the pig.

This. I got a brand new S&W Shield in 9mm(dat $75 rebate tho) because I dont own any S&Ws and was curious.

Took 2(50 ct) boxes to the range, it only jammed once. On a brand new gun. Out of 100 rounds. Compared to Glocks that I had bought new, that was amazing.

>>34354514

if you have to get a 22 get the ruger sr22

the walther p22 really is crap

look at 380s if you don't want a big 9m

or look at ruger sr9s
