When and if I argue in a thread, like this one, it will be because of two things.
First, the person who makes a statement that is incorrect is possibly endangering himself. The person who swears that a .22 lr pistol is the ultimate defense pistol because of size, sound, expense, so forth, is endangering his own life. That's all there is too it. He is taking an enormous chance of being killed by an armed opponent because he is choosing an inferior and unproven weapon system.
I don't want him to die. I will suggest that he change his mind, try to explain, and remind him that as a "good guy," I don't want to see him possibly throw away his own life.
The other reason to argue against bad ideas is to keep them from spreading.
People could argue that changing from the 1911 to the 9mm was a stupid idea. I'm not going to debate that. But, thousands of people argued valid points, that the .45 was better, and that going to a fmj 9mm was a step down in power.
This is the same argument that people would raise if millions of people dropped their nines for a .380, or even a .32.
We, as experienced and capable shooters have a moral responsibility to keep others from making ill advised decisions that will affect the outcome of combat situations negatively, possibly resulting in the death of a good guy.
So, I have a moral obligation to suggest:
no bird shot.
no glasers.
no 32 acps.
no slingshots.
No fmj
No cap and ball revolvers.
no H and H express rifles.
No bb guns.
and so on.
combat is a broad and complicated subject, but there are many proven principles, and for every proven principle, there are a thousand pounds of poop. Every passing minute brings more poop on the scene, such as a guy deciding that aiming at the bad guy's feet will confuse him so badly that he'll quit shooting.
So, because I want you guys to survive, I will say that the glaser has a lot of potential problems, and I will say that it would be better to carry proven defense rounds such as hornady extreme. I'm not going to lay out the thirty years of accummulated wisdom behind that decision, it is incumbent on the listener to either trust or distrust me, and to listen to other voices who also point out things like NOT A SINGLE LE AGENCY ISSUES THOSE THINGS.
It is incumbent upon everyone to criticallyh and carefully examine every bit of nonsense heard, , before believing it, just like penis pills.
