22LR for a defensive carry caliber? No doubt it might be effective. But then again, it may well not be. It's the pipsqueak of calibers. But if it's the cartridge that aging or arthritic hands can manage best, it's certainly better than harsh words or a slipjoint pocket knife. But for my...

I have a number of S&W revolvers in calibers from 22LR up to 45acp. I'd be hard pressed to name one a single favorite. Maybe the 3" Model 13 in 357mag. All have Tyler T-grips, which make the stocks fit my fat hand so well.

My EDC is a S&W 642 in a Mika pocket holster. Works perfectly for my situation.

I like my Beretta Jetfire in 25acp. Not a carry piece, but it's a fun range toy that draws attention.

I think in many home invasions, the criminals are looking to grab something quick and get away without springing leaks of ANY caliber. A 22lr would serve well enough in that scenario. BUT... If your house is known to hold large qtys of cash, valuable jewelry or anything else that could attract...

I've been carrying a S&W 642 for the past 15 years. I also keep a 4" S&W Model 10-5 as my home defense piece.

The Golden Rule for avoiding trouble: Don’t 1. Go to stupid places 2. With stupid people (or where stupid people congregate) 3. At stupid times 4. To do stupid things.

A S&W k-frame in 38 spl is always a good option. 👍

I'll go with revolvers: S&W Model 28 Hwy Patrolman 4" 357 S&W 642 sub 38spl S&W Model 17 4" 22LR

For me, it's the S&W K-frame. With a Tyler T-grip, it just fits my hand so very well. Must be a reason they were the sidearm of choice for US LE for half a century.

I have a pair of 1911s, both Colts in 45acp from the mid 70s. MarkIV Govt Lightweight Commander

I carry a revolver in 38+P because it fits my situation. What you carry is your business and no one else's.

I like 45acp. I like 9mm But I carry 38+P And that's because my EDC is a S&W 642. Almost perfect for my situation.

The one gun that I regret selling is a 3913 NL. Grab it. They don't show up often and that's a good price.

For me, it's 38+P in most circumstances. If I'm going into the boondocks in my Jeep, it's 357. My home defense weapon and my EDC are both loaded with 38+P..
