Would you carry a 22?

[Crazy bird]

Yes , as long as you can use it effectively !!

 

[Firefighterchen]

No I personally would not. But i understand why someone would.

I often carry a PMR30 (22 magnum). It will do the job. 31 rounds of 22 magnum are just fine for self defense. It is light, reliable, and accurate.

A 22 mag NAA revolver, its a big bang in a small package

Better then not having a gun. The .22 killed JFK I think so it's a deadly round

 

[zacklmpd]

Actually jusxboxin he was killed by a 6.5x52 Italian rifle but the .22 Is a good round I use it when I do alot of target shooting got the conversions for my rifles

 

[NCIC105]

Yep carry a S&W revolver to squirrel hunt with.

I new a cop who carried a .22 when he was undercover with a bike gang.
He put the .22 in his under shorts.

I carried a little 22 for quite a while. An Iver Johnson TP22(copy of Walther PP in 22lr) in an ankle holster was totally concealed. Never had to use it on a human but it terminated several 4 legged varmints. Had it in my hand the afternoon a couple of teenaged hoodlums decided they wanted to drive my Jeep. That was enough that day.

I carry a North American Arms 22 magnum mini-revolver. It also has a conversion cylinder for shooting 22 LR. It is effective within the self defence range. I practice with it regularly. Many people ridicule carrying a 22 but the 22 with you beats the 44 at home. A bigger gun has more recoil and therefore more recovery time between shots. Also IF you can NOT hit what you are shooting at with a bigger gun what good is it? By the way Ive been licensed to carry for many many years.

i used to have a remington .22 back in the late 70s friend gave it to me it was really small when i left my husband i left almost everything i had had my son in my arms a few dollars in my pocket and walked out not sure what happened to that lil gun but if i had it today i would definitely carry it it sure would be easy to conceal but i'd use it as a pocket back up most likely dang i forgot i had that thing wished i still had it it was a little derringer model it was an old gun probably a collectible by now

 

[jtg452]

Would you carry a 22? If, so which one?

No.

I've had far too many .22 rounds that didn't go BANG! when I dropped the hammer to trust my life to one.

Now I did not say I would carry one for a main carry piece, I said I had one, and I do carry it from time to time, but along with it is generaly a 45 and a 9mm or 40, and maybe a 380 for good measure

You might look into a high quality round. I have had more crap rounds with 9's and 45's then 22's.

[woodruff]

Usually keep one in the truck or car, Walther P22, but have my 40 on me.

 

[crowsnake]

With my Mark III Ruger 22 I could shoot a smiley face into the BG's forehead from quite a distance. But, its kinda big to carry so I carry my LCP. 380 most of the time. Its not as accurate but it do the job.

 

[gunnerbob]

Yep, a quality revolver... doesn't matter what make.

I wouldn't prefer an auto .22, an auto .25acp yes. Generally, centerfire will be more reliable... generally.

Since we passed our open carry law here in OK I might have to have one of those North American Arms belt buckle/22mag of course it's kind of over the top as far as belt buckles go. But I have always wanted one of the micro's.. They're just cool
