[QUOTE="Commander Keen, post: 954599, member: 9126"] I would never concider it, not even as a BUG. In a ccw, you want to be able to put down a BG asap. To do this, you generally need to cause enough blood loss for the BG to be unable to continue his attack, or to hit the CNS. A .22 just doesn't create enough of a wound channel to cause the necessary blood loss, and may not penetrate deeply enough to damage the CNS. Personal opinion (and that of most trainers as I understand): the .380 is the bare minimum calliber to carry for defense, with the 9mm being more preferable. Also, many (including Mas Ayoob) recommend carrying the largest calliber weapon you can, while still being able to control the recoil enough to fire accurately and quickly. [/QUOTE]
