I understand that a .22 handgun is not the ideal defensive weapon. The reason I carry one around here is mainly to plink with. Feral dog and rattlesnake confrontations do happen, and I figure nine shots should help with those.
I do think that putting nine rounds of just about anything in someones face at five paces might tend to discourage them. At short range, with this revolver, I could put most of those shots into someones eyeball. I do think a twenty-two to the eye probably beats a .38 to the belly.
