[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 958636, member: 1535"] Seriously,I dont think theres anybody on this board who would carry a .22 as a CC or even have one around for HD. Most of us just plink with em. Maybe a BUGs BUG,but with .38s and .380s being so inexpensive it just wouldnt make sense to only have a .22 around. But. On the other hand, I wouldnt want to get shot with one. Ive been shot at twice and hit once and it didnt feel good. I was a ******* in the wrong place at the wrong time. I sure didnt call out and ask what I got hit with. I got the hell out of there. I would imagine that most BGs breaking and entering are there to burgle,not kill. If a .22 is all you have at the moment then it seems to me that a few well placed shots with a .22,even though it isnt going to kill them or maybe not even stop them,would still be a good deterrant. It makes sense to me that surely they aint gonna want to stick around to see what it is youre shooting them with. If youre getting shot at are you even going to question the calibre of what youre getting shot with? Not me. Surely the odds are that anybody shot with anything is not going to charge at you but more than likely they will get going as fast as they can-in the other direction. And,yes,I did think about what if they return fire. Well then if that happens youre screwed there anyways no matter what youre shooting them with. Anyways. I dont know any of this for sure because it has never happened to me. I do shoot at an old wooden door I have set up down on my land when I go down there to ride our moto bikes and plink around with my .22 rifle and .22 revolvers. Both, the CCI MiniMags and the cheapo Remington Golden Bullet HPs go right thru the door-rifle mostly but the revolver does get some thru. I dont own a .22 pistol so dont know what they would do. I dont trust em. The ones Ive had had too many FTFs. And I dont like to waste my CCI Velocitors on plinking soI dont know what they will do,but I'm sure they would go thru also. I'll stick with my 9mm's for CC and SD and my tactical 12gg and 9mm for HD and save my .22s for target practice. [/QUOTE]
