.22mag ammo choice for SD

[flcracker]

My recent purchase of a NAA .22mag has me curious as to the best choice of rounds to use in it as a CCW SD pistol.

For anyone who currently owns or carries one on a fairly regular basis, all advise or comments are most appreciated.

Thanks y'all,

I find it hard to trust rim fire ammunition for SD, mainly due to reliability issues I've had in the past. If I had to pick a brand, stick with CCI. They have been the most reliable for me.

There are ballistic charts at NAA this is one of the choices...

Thanks much...this link was very helpful...

I live in a long, hot, and humid summer climate and for the past 8 years or so, my EDC has been a da/sa .45acp. It conceals well in a IWB holster under an untucked, collared over-shirt. But it's sometimes just a bit much to wear, especially if I'm not really going anywhere that I might expect 'trouble'...

The NAA is carried in a IWB clip-on, and will stay well concealed even wearing just shorts and a t-shirt...Granted it isn't nearly the 'firepower' that the .45 will provide, but at least I feel pretty secure that it would do well in a pinch.

The ammo it's currently loaded with, is Hornady 'V-Max' 30gr. They seem to be a pretty hot round, and in a CQC situation, will likely do some serious damage. They were given to me by a close friend, as there was none of any make to be found in my area or online at all, after I bought the NAA.

I still consider the .45 to be my primary, but I really like the ease of carry with that lil' pocket-rocket...Just want to have the best and most effective SD ammo in it if ever needed.

Best,
