I am interested to hear the openion of others regarding the use of a North American Arms mini revolver as a personal defense gun. I feel that bigger is usually better, but in my case that is not allways possible, when it comes to concealed carry. I live in Florida where the clothing that I wear often doesn't conceal a firearm very well. I purchased a .22 l.r. 1-1/8" and a .22 magnium 1-5/8" mini for those times when little else will conceal well. The l.r. 1-1/8" can be concealed with any clothing, and the magnium can be carried almost allways. My question is, are these guns too underpowered with the short barrels to be effective against a typical mad man in a defensive situation ? Will the already challenged .22, fired from a really short barrel only generate enough energy to p.o. the attacker even more ? Accuracy of the weapons is not my concern, since I have practiced with them a lot, and am fairly proficient out to seven yards.
