Yes, it would be fine out of a rifle going 1450fps. Out of a handgun the 22 doesn't build up as much speed. But it can work. Here's a recent example: http://www.wistv.com/story/15140008/female-motel-clerk-kills-robber

Ideas KODA, As others have said, first of all, thank you very much for your service. I agree that there are better options for self defense but I do have a 22 Bolt Rifle (CZ 452), and from time to time I do think about what I would need to use it in a defensive role. Here's a short...

timburn, FYI, you just got schooled by a LEGEND. Mr. Camp is as fine a gentlemen as they come. His knowledge about the HP is unrivaled. Read his site front to back if you are serious about operating these high powers to their maximum ability.

I own a P232, P239, and a P229. Pretty much the (3) smallest pistols in their lineup. I bought them because they're great carry firearms. I had no expectation that the full size P226 would be an ideal carry pistol (for me). If you bought a P226 to carry, and didn't like it, fine. But if you...

Well, when I say not enough "trigger finger", I mean to say that you're pulling the trigger without a firm straight push to the back. Instead, you may be anticipating recoil, pulling the gun down to avert the muzzle flip, then finally getting the trigger back far enough for the shot. All...

357 Conversion Barrel? Is this 2 P229's, or just one? The sights could need to be aligned, however, I think you should let an experienced shooter verify it's low and to the left before you check the sights, slide to frame fit, or anything else mechanical. Also, my experience with...

How are you using the sights? Most folks don't take into account that these pistols are not target sighted but "combat" sighted. You must align 3 dots horizontally and the front sight must COVER UP the target. Low and to the left, suggests a bit of recoil anticipation, and possibility not...

I have heard of it. I have a P232 that is about a year old. It does not have the crimp but I have heard of folks complaining about jammed rounds due to interleaving of the rim on the cartridges when loading. You must be sure to push the cartridges to rear of the magazines or you can have this...

If they're using the Copper bullets similar to what I carry (140 Grain Corbon DPX), then I'd say it's great. In fact, the 140 Grain DPX is going about 1200 fps, and the lighter weight (for the caliber) makes it shoot real sweet. The round expands and penetrates just as well as any other...

I am looking for a new Sig pistol, and I want to show my support for Arizona. Can anyone recommend a good spot I could purchase online, and have shipped to my FFL? The "boycott" of Arizona has spurred me to want to show my support by actually buying stuff from AZ that I would other wise...

"You have numerous posts advocating the policy of "never talk to the police." Hunto, it's healthy to be skeptical of the police. I get BrBoyer's constitutional arguments. I think its a matter of how to apply them as a practical matter makes for the difficult conversation. I am going for...

Indeed Br Boyer. Don't disagree that there are convicted felons (non violent) that have been unfairly kept from exercising their 2nd amendment rights.

"I'll answer...."Shall not be infringed" Seems self explanatory to me." Brboyer, I'm surprised you have internet under neath that rock you're living under. How on earth do you come to the conclusion that convicted felons should be allowed to own firearms? I'm really interested to know.

BrBoyer, I don't know what is so special about those places. I for one would like to see some clarity on that in this June's supreme court decision. I am reminded that in Heller vs D.C., that Scalia (writing for the majority) didn't contest that the 2nd amendment exists without limitations...

Now you're splitting hairs Deanimator. Let's go ahead and make you feel a little better and recognize that the right pre-existed as all the rights of the Bill of Rights. Does the 2nd amendment exist without limitation? That is the real question. My attempt at getting the discussion to a more...
