Mouse gun debate for the micro-calibers.
I've fired .22 LR extensively through semiauto pistols, rifles of all types, and revolvers. I love the round but have never used it in a mouse gun. I recently heard something about the .22 losing some potency when fired through a shorter barrel, but don't know if that's true.
On the other side of the mouse gun equation is the .25 ACP, which is often met with much derision and considered even less powerful then .22 LR, but is that true with the short barrel claim above? I've often thought the ONLY advantage of .25 ACP was that it's centerfire. However, I have never had a primer fail to go off despite firing thousands and thousands of .22 LR rounds.
So which would you have to trust if those were your options?
