Would you carry a 22?

It's not something I would recommend to do on a regular basis but having something to defend yourself with is better then nothing.

I agree with this, but in an emergency or other situations its better than nothing if thats all you have.

I carry a Taurus PT-22 with CCI mini Mag's. I also have a Walther P-22, but it is a little large for my pocket. I do carry the Walther in a pouch on my belt sometimes.

Sure you can unload a mag of 22 into someone real fast and believe me it will stop him. I want to get a pocket 22LR soon.
I know a guy who got shot in the gut with a .22LR and he lived but he was never the same. Those little bullets can jump around inside you and really cause trouble. Never underestimate the .22

I can and do: my favorite carry 22 is my NAA Black Widow with 22 Magnum 45grain Hornady FTX ammo. It's a five shot revolver. The drawback, once your 5th round is expended, you are going to need cover if you have to reload. You must remove the cylinder to reload. You could just load a preloaded cylinder that was timed to this gun or just use the 22LR cylinder preloaded, but still must pop out the empty one. For a warm weather pocket gun, they don't get much lighter or smaller; my Black Widow has a 2" barrel, adjustable sight, weighs about 9 1/2oz. fully loaded and is 5 3/4" long; you can get a 1" barrel version PUG (not the Black Widow) that weighs about 7 1/2 oz. fully loaded and is only 4 1/2" long. That is a tiny gun with a decent punch for it's size! Great boot gun, shirt pocket, small purse or shorts pocket.You can even get a belt buckle version : )
