22 mag really shines in a rifle. For defensive use in a handgun 22 mag is a much better choice than 22lr. However neither are good defensive options imho, unless you need a mouse gun like a naa.Well, apparently there is at least one .22WMR round made for short barrels, and NOW, I'm aware of it.
However, I have no interest in it, as I only have one .22WMR and it has a 6.5" barrel and in over 30 years I have not shot even two boxes of .22WMR through it. Lots of .22LR, but to me, shooting .22WMR is a waste of my money.
Thanks for the tip. I'll keep an eye open for the Gold Dot SB, even though I don't shoot this gun that much.Speer makes a 22mag gold dot for short barrels.
