I recently snagged a S&W M&P .22 Mag Pistol.
I have shot several different rounds of various bullet weights through it and is cycles everything like butter. I am 500 rounds in and have had one malfunction... and that was on the very first clip.
Anyway, I want to purchase a bushel of ammo for the gun and I have the opportunity to by some Federal 50 grain that pushes about 1,500 fps for a smoking deal.
In my 22 mag rifle, I love the Hornady 30 grain, but it also shoots the Federal 50 gr really, really well. But the Hornady is pushing 2,200 fps.
So for home defense, which is the primary reason for this pistol, what is your opinion...
50 grain at 1,500 fps
or
30 grain at 2,200 fps
Love to hear your opinion and why.......
PS... No reason to debate me on choosing a 22 mag for home defense. I have a pistol in my hands that has 30 rounds in the mag.... that's good enough for me.
