    Not mine either, it’s just the only .22 I have. My neighbor gave it to me, she used to shoot in middle school way back when.

    Unless you're a hit-man or rabbit hunter I don't see the point of a .22.

    You really need to do some research.Like I said I can kill anything in north america with a .22. especially if it's a rifle but to each their own more ammo for me.

    Please don’t be one of those clowns who goes bear hunting with a tec22 and puts 100 shots in it while it’s screaming bloody murder until it finally dies.

    Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.

    The problem with .22 or .25 is that they are not effective "man stoppers". They will kill a person, provided they are introduced in an appropriate part of the body (eventually), but they are not really suited for personal defense. Remember, we are talking about stopping a threat that has gone beyond presentation of the weapon. Often, the presentation of a means of self defense will ward off an attacker, but if you have to pull the trigger you had better be able to cause a wound channel large enough to induce shock quickly.

    This is why a .355 or larger hollow point bullet is better suited to the job. And why .22 and little poky things aren't optimal for the job. Better to hit an attacker with a baseball bat than shoot him with a .22. The area of effect is greater as well as the amount of energy transferred. This is basic physiology, an area of study that is of great interest if you are going to go up against other living beings.

    And, for what it is worth, I'll take a two shot .357 magnum derringer over a .22 WMR pistol or revolver (of 6 or 8 shot capacity) each and every day of the week.

    It's better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.

    22 kills just as dead as fast. Keep that in mind...

    IF I had a PMC .22 with 30 rounds in it and a couple in a mag carrier on the opposite of that holster I would be able to make war. It would beat hauling 54 rounds of .45 around...
