      A revolver would get you around magazine feed problems, but not the poor power or getting a dud strike. Double-action could let you skip to the next chamber, but that's less than stellar, you wouldn't have to do that with a centerfire revolver unless you were using the shittiest and funkiest ammo in the world.

      It beats a sharp stick, but that's a low bar to clear. If you want a tiny gun that isn't loud, I want to suggest .25 Auto, it has the same ballistics but a far stronger crimp, a far smaller rim, and a dead reliable centerfire primer. Really though, you may as well step up to .32 Auto, you'll have better ammo selection, more power, and with some options more capacity with a gun that's barely bigger.

      I aimed my goo into your dad's ass just fine.

      >Just go with .32 at that point.

      Kel-Tec sells one, Beretta sells another. You also have North American Arms and Seecamp. If you wanna look for older ones, there's a bunch from CZ, Beretta, H&K, Walther, etc.

        crimp prone to failing, causing or making misfeeds worse
        I have never had this happen in the tens of thousands of rounds of .22lr I've shot. I've seen bullets end up slightly off axis after a failure to go into battery with a shitty mag that resulted in the cartridge getting rammed against the face of the barrel rather than into the chamber, but never a failed crimp.

        https://i.imgur.com/vGpUUPe.jpg

        8 or 9 tiny rounds where the chance still exists for a dud, together with a way stiffer DA trigger.

        [...]
        [...]
        I find that my life is worth more than saving maybe $100-200 over a period of time.
        Optionally see if you can find a very similar gun in .22LR which you can practice with, that'll cost some, and you'll still have to practice with the larger caliber, but it could save money over time.

        Otherwise, step up to a gun in 9mm Luger, that caliber is generally less expensive than .32 Auto and stuff like that. Something like the Kahr CW9, or the Kahr PM9 (same thing but slightly smaller). Recoil will be a little bit snappy in a very small 9mm, but you can get used to it.

        >I find that my life is worth more than saving maybe $100-200 over a period of time.
        At current prices, that's about 9 1/2 months to save $200 at 100 rounds per month vs 9mm. Alternatively, that's shooting 100 rounds per week rather than 100 rounds per month at the same cost.

          The crimp failing is less common than the primer failing, but I have actually had that happen myself a couple of times. It probably depends on your gun.

          Ammo is pricier these days, so I get you, but there really is so many drawbacks to .22 for life and death situations. Depending on what gun you have currently, see if you can find a .22 caliber conversion kit (exists for Glocks and CZs), or .22 caliber version of it, so you can practice with that.

        As long as you're fine with 8 rounds and one long ass DA trigger pull. But if you're rocking a .22le revolver, you're most likely either riding dirty in one way or another, so I assume you know what the frick you're doing.

        I mean, you can mitigate it, but the gun not going off when you pull the trigger is bad. Center-fire automatics in very small calibers, like 25 or 32 are more reliable, but not really any more difficult to control.

        22LR is unreliable in autos because it's a rimmed case and feeding from a box mag for a round that was never intended to do so has long been a challenge. Some are better than others but...
        The second challenge is consistency. To automatically charge the gun everything has to be just right, but 22LR is inconsistent from round to round causing lots of jams, which is worsened by it being such a dirty round too which leads to the next point...
        Revolvers are inherently reliable but only if they are kept clean. It can go bang all day until some debris gets caught in the pawl, or the cylinder stop, or some other mechanism. They have an easy manual of arms but this comes at the expense of a relatively complex (compared to an auto) internal mechanism.
        Carbon fouling from dirty 22LR ammo can exacerbate this but only if it's neglected. Typically people think
        >revolver = reliable
        >reliable = runs when dirty
        >runs when dirty = I don't have to clean it
        Until they run a ton of dirty ammo through the gun over time, carbon fouling collects all around but most critically under the extractor star. The gun heats up from firing, the metal of the cylinder expands and pushes the extractor star against the pawl, seizing the cylinder, preventing it from coming out, which, through it's linkage to the trigger, prevents the trigger from being able to be pulled completely rearward.
        You should notice this by the trigger getting heavier and heavier.
        >tl;dr
        Yes they're reliable but just clean it every few hundred rounds particularly the cylinder and cylinder window

        To your original point I think 22LR is better than nothing. I wouldn't feel bad carrying one but realize that if an attacker doesn't stop because he hears a gunshot or realizes he has been shot he will only stop when he has lost enough blood to function. With a 22LR that's gonna be a while.

                in a lcp going from the .380 to .22 models you only go from 6 to 10 rounds of capacity so about half the muzzle energy at that barrel length for less than double the capacity if someone wanted to maximize stopping power they wouldn't carry .22 but like other .22 for self defence situations it's a convenience thing people are familiar with .22 the guns are cheap and the guns are small and easy to carry

            Those are another good option. You could maybe get it a bit cheaper if you look around for a 1.0, rather than buying the newest 2.0, it'll be basically as good.
            Another thing you could do also is to get a longer magazine with a grip extension as your spare magazine, like a 15rd or 17rd one.

            The main goal will be to find a decent but not too expensive brand of 9mm which has the same (or very similar) point of impact with your pistol as the ammo you decide to carry.
            This may take a bit of trial and error, but you wouldn't spend a fortune on it, and you'll still get some practice out of it anyway.

    is a one inch dick acceptable for sex?
    think of it this way you can get the job done especially with high quality .22 hollow point magnum rounds and a high quality .22 gun but if you are gonna pay up for that why not get a real gun instead? there is a good reason cops and military use 9mm and .45 ACP etc its because it is more effective at stopping and killing the enemy when it comes to pistol rounds same for 5.56 and 7.62 etc they are more effective when it compared to .22 rifles. and keep in mind these are government agents the government would love to outfit agents with cheap shit .22s but its not effective at killing people especially when they have armor or cover
    so in short can you use it yes does it work yes is it ideal frick no. there are arguable use cases like trying to use subsonic .22s with a fancy pants silencer to be completely covert in an assassination scenario for example but in terms of simple one shot kill power which is the primary factor to consider in SELF DEFENSE as you inquire .22 is sadly lacking in that department.

      I'm poor. I don't want to carry one forever. But it makes sense right for my situation. The guns are cheap and I can shoot a lot of practice rounds. It can also share ammo with fun plinkers of which there are many for chumo change too.

    Your fists not being acceptable for self defense is the real problem.

    It's acceptable if it's the best you can get. But what are you, some kind of homosexual European or something? You can do better than that.

    The people who want to use them as carry pieces are some of the worst shots I've ever seen in my life, so no.

    No but the main reason is reliability not lack of power.

      Those are another good option. You could maybe get it a bit cheaper if you look around for a 1.0, rather than buying the newest 2.0, it'll be basically as good.
      Another thing you could do also is to get a longer magazine with a grip extension as your spare magazine, like a 15rd or 17rd one.

      The main goal will be to find a decent but not too expensive brand of 9mm which has the same (or very similar) point of impact with your pistol as the ammo you decide to carry.
      This may take a bit of trial and error, but you wouldn't spend a fortune on it, and you'll still get some practice out of it anyway.

      crimp prone to failing, causing or making misfeeds worse
      I have never had this happen in the tens of thousands of rounds of .22lr I've shot. I've seen bullets end up slightly off axis after a failure to go into battery with a shitty mag that resulted in the cartridge getting rammed against the face of the barrel rather than into the chamber, but never a failed crimp.

      At current prices, that's about 9 1/2 months to save $200 at 100 rounds per month vs 9mm. Alternatively, that's shooting 100 rounds per week rather than 100 rounds per month at the same cost.
      >t. someone considering moving to .22lr with how much ammo prices have increased over the pre-2020 norm

      The cost of the ammo is the main concern

    As long as it shoots it's better than zero for self defense. There's more reliable options though.

    I think I would honestly prefer a cap and ball revolver to a .22LR pistol for defense, reloading is a non-starter, but at least I can have something .38 Special-like which if loaded correctly, would actually go bang like it should.
    You can even make your own blackpowder if you're inclined.

      Fun is one of the best excuses to buy a gun, but if my purpose for a gun is something serious like defending myself with it, and I want it .45 caliber, I'm strongly inclined to pick pic related over a Taurus Judge, no matter how fun it is to frick around with one.
      (Not to say I wouldn't get both for their own reasons)

    Pull out a .22 and a .45. Ask the bad guy which one he wants to get shot with.

      He probably already ran by the time you had your .22 out, the issue is more what the frick do you do if he DOESN'T run, which is statistically unlikely, but also far from unheard of.
      You can shoot and kill an attacker with a .22, that has also happened, but there's a lot factors which makes it far worse choice of gun for the situation than any .32 or .38 caliber centerfire gun, the margins for error are just way slimmer with a .22

      I'd rather carry an old Safety Hammerless (or imitation) simply for being centerfire and actually shooting a not nearly as tiny centerfire cartridge, even with blackpowder. That's not great either, but I could count 100% on the primer detonating when the hammer strikes it.

        Get a DA revolver in 22LR. Best of both worlds. 8 chances to frick up someone's day.

            Technically always possible. Use good ammo. At worst you have 7 more shots.
            >still very meek cartridge
            Most pistol cartridges are meek.

              It's vastly more likely with rimfire.

              >At worst you have 7 more shots.
              I'd rather have 5 or 6 shots (of just about anything) which are extremely likely to fire, than 8 shots which have a not insignificant chance to fail to fire.

              >Most pistol cartridges are meek.
              Not even close to the same extent, 9mm Luger, .38 Special, .45 Auto, these are all magnitudes more powerful than .22 Long Rifle while not being difficult to shoot at all.

              >>dud priming still possible
              It's a fricking revolver. You just pull the trigger again, and at worst you now just have 7 shots instead of 8 which is still more than most people had in a carry gun until more recently.

              very meek cartridge
              It penetrates to an acceptable depth with appropriate ammo choice, and that's all that really matters in a handgun cartridge.

              Get good homosexual.

              >It penetrates to an acceptable depth with appropriate ammo choice
              Just barely. Something which penetrates deeper and makes for more expansion/cavitation is better by far.

                You need to buy better ammo. You shouldn't be carrying bulk ammo anyway. The good stuff works. And now there are even loadings designed specifically for self defense with short barrels.

                Not him.

                > Just barely.
                FBI requirements are overkill. INS/NFU have had way more OIS in the last 2 decades than the spergs in Federal policing and they prioritize 9-12" in heavy clothing or bare gel. Which Fed punch and CCI velocitors meet.

                > Something which penetrates deeper and makes for more expansion/cavitation is better by far.
                Shot placement is king, pen is queen, and the rest is angels dancing on pins. Some dude bleeding out in 30s vs 60s soes me no good if he's currently trying to fill me in at the same time.

                And just to head off orher people putting words in my mouth, I'm not telling anyone to ditch their service pistol for a .22. That's moronic. But if the 9mm or .38 isn't an option because reasons, you can end a mothefricker in short order with a .22. I 've shoved the corpses in a freezer.

                Border Patrol wnds up shooting more people every year than the FBI does. I shouldn't have said Feds, because INS are federal, even if they work a very specific locale.

    Quality modern .22 LR ammo (CCI velocitors, Yellowjackets) is fine for self defense. I have yet to have a single failure out of my Beretta Bobcat with CCI velocitors. The only thing you really need to make sure of is that your ammo of choice functions reliably in your gun.
