Hard to believe anyone would even consider a .22 for personal protection. Never in this camp would that happen. I guess if it's all you got it's better than nothing...Carry on...
Aguila also has a 30gr fn that advertises 1700fps, they shoot well in my 22/45 lite and my 10/22, but I haven't chronographed them yet.If your going to use .22 for self defense I suppose you would want any advantage you could get.
As far as hunting aguila has a line of .22lr loaded with 40gn flat nose Bullets called interceptors. Listed at 1,470fps. I’ve got a box but haven’t gotten around to hunting with them yet.

Stanger? Did he really say Stanger? Even the caption on the video said Stanger. If you want a 22 round that will outperform a Stanger out of a short barrel and give you expansion every time use the Remington Yellow Jacket. And I see on the new Remington website that Yellow jackets will be made again. And I will have some. I am down to one box now.
If I needed a low recoiling round I would use either my Walther PP in 32acp or one of my S&W model 30s in 32 long with one of my hotter handloads. Or best of all my 431PD 32 mag that weighs only 15oz loaded with 85gr HP XTP bullets. Way better than any 22.
Could be wrong, but it seems like Federal is just now catching up to CCI Stingers that have been out since 1975. And it's heavier bullet 32 vs 29 and has a one shot stopping of .34% per Marshall and Sannow
Federal had the Spitfire for year. IMHO, comparing the Punch to the Stinger is silly. The solid flat point is going to penetrate far better than the Stinger. In fact, I would not consider the Stinger at all in this role. It's a varmint load. I want mass.Could be wrong, but it seems like Federal is just now catching up to CCI Stingers that have been out since 1975.

Yeah same here. Better than nothing. I imagine the scenario being me having to very quickly empty the gun into the assailant and be ready to fight. Of course you could flip the lights out with one well placed shot, but still. Like trying to hunt deer with a .380. Not the right tool for the job.Hard to believe anyone would even consider a .22 for personal protection. Never in this camp would that happen.

If you take a look at my second post, you'll see that the stinger got to almost 12 inches of penetration.People have to realize that not everyone who owns firearms or is considerate of self defense is an enthusiast who shoots thousands of rounds a year or hours and hours having caliber debates on line.
I hear the argument about how unreliable .22LR's are all the time. The only misfires I've ever had were with cheap bulk ammo. Never with the good stuff and never .22Mag. I'm never going to deliberately choose a .22LR for self defense but if it's all I had and it was loaded with quality ammo, I'd employ it with confidence.
