Five COM hits with my 25 are better than a single COM hit and jam with any .22. I disagree with the poster who said all of his .22's have been completely reliable all the time. The only reliable .22 I've ever shot has been a Ruger Single-Six. Without fail, it's always gone bang. My MK-II, my FTL Auto-Nine, my Taurus PT-22, and my Beretta 21 have all jammed at one time or another. (all are gone now save my Ruger) I've never had any malfunctions with my .25's to include an Intratec Protec 25, CZ Duo, Astra, CZ 45, and some French gun I can't identify. When I go places, the CZ's are my constant companion. (Astra moved on as I needed the money) I buy .25 ammo by the brick. Never fired a shot in anger, but would like to make sure it goes bang first and worry about keyboard ballistics experts after I save my life.
About keyboard gun experts, I'd like to interject a dose of reality. Reality is that when a gun goes bang, the bad guys mostyl turn and run. Unless you're shot with a bone-crushing round like the 454, you're not going to be instantly incapacitated. Watched some reality cop show where a punk got shot four times with a 9mm and still charged the cop.
Victims are most often easy marks. If I harden myself in the least, I greatly improve my chances of not becoming a victim in the first place. 10% differences in paper power don't ammount to a hill of beans in the face of logic. Yes, I'd challenge anybody to stand in front of my .25 and take a COM hit. Just sign a legal release first.
