These comments are ridiculous. Is it a good self defense round? No. But it excels in ammo cost and is a great training and starter gun for kids and women that need it. And did I mention price of ammo when shooting for fun?

ya, the .223 m16 round is basically a glorified .22 round.,

Yes, a .22lr is a very effective round. That is why organized crime figures used it in the day. It was cheap, the firearms could be discarded easily, and they are easy to silence. It's all about bullet placement not about caliber. Look at the damage John Hinckley, Jr. caused with his cheap Rohm Rg-14 .22.

Statistically, the 22lr has killed more people than any other caliber in history, though that has much to do with how common and cheap they are rather than their lethality.That being said, a 22lr round even when shot through a pistol will easily penetrate a skull or a rib, which means it can reach and greatly injure any of your vital organs.

@DystruktoBoi1 Obviously you haven't been watching The Walking Dead x-D

@ferdiedude Hey, don't knock .380. My Sig Sauer P238 was expensive for its size, but worth every penny.

Seung-Hui Cho, the Virginia Tech assassin, used two guns that day: a Glock 19 (9mm) and a Walther P22. Arguments about the .22 LR supposed lack of stopping power are lost on me.

1. The .22 is extremely underrated. 2. That being said, it's still semi-vaginal. 3. The milk jug won.

i prefer the 10mm for self defence ; ) but i do not feel too threatened with my jimenez-22 with quick reload practice and cci mini mags. they are rated at 1650 fps. so much better than the overpriced and silly .380 :P eace
1) it's cheap
2) low recoil
3) .22 LR is actually pretty strong and lethal
4) lots of people underestimate the power
5) not too loud compared to other calibers.

You're right, but that's kind of a "no shit" comment. MY point is that .22lr is a highly underrated round and perfectly capable for self defense.
