im not sure which pocket .22 to get.

NAA, I have the Pug .22mag and do carry it.

I'm not a fan of .22lr or mag auto guns for SD due to associated notorious feeding problems.
 
Another vote for the LCR 22. It's light, reliable and fun to shoot. I keep mine loaded with Stingers and it disappears into my right front pocket when I don't feel like strapping on my M&P 40.
 
Had a Taurus PLY25; don't like rimfires in semiautos ... I do carry an NAA Pug in .22mag for dog walks and around the house; I can draw and cock it easily, especially if I start out with my hand in the pocket I carry it in ... very accurate at SD distances, easy to shoot, not good if you need to reload ...
 
I also have an NAA mini. You can count on it to fire every time you pull the trigger. It is accurate at close range. The only drawback is taking out the cylinder to re-load. But come on, if you cant stop someone with 5-shots to the upper body, than you are doomed anyway. :)
 
HP22a is a fun gun that is a blast to shoot. It's also realtively cheap at $150. You can also get a 5" barrel if you desire. Fits easily in your pocket. Yeah, some bash these little guys but I've also read just as many who love them.

i was thinking a naa with 4" barrel in .22mag would do a bit more damage than a .22lr from a bobcat or lcr 22 with the 2" barrels. but i would also get the .22lr cylinder for the naa.

i do already have a naa .22 mag with 1 7/8" barrel but it has no .22lr cylinder. i never shot it much but i recall quite a few misfires. is this a common issue with naa revolvers? maybe i had too much lint build up? i bought it in the early 90s.
 
Baretta Bobcat with CCI 40 grain orCCI Stinger. Very loud but I have not had any problems. I find it accurate at 25' or less.

Cajun47, I have not had a single misfire in my NAA mini. I have only used Fedral Champion 22lr ammo in it however, so I dont know about other brands. I`m also sure there better guns to have, but for a really good CC weapon, I like it. And like I said, if you cant stop someone with 5 shots, you are down anyway.
