I was wondering what everyone thought about this round for self defense??
The pistols that carry it are smaller and easier to conceal. I am looking at a Walther PPK/s made by S&W.
Those are very nice little guns. ANY gun is better than no gun! IF you are able to carry any handgun you want for defense, all rounds smaller than .45 ACP are about the same-you have to hit a real vital spot with them! So a .22 LR is just as goodas the .380, maybe even better, because the .22's are generally more accurate. Also, .22's are a lot cheaper to shoot, so you can practice a lot more for the same cost!
