I miss my Ute (1976 Chevrolet El Camino).
22 inch barrel is a good all around barrel length. Depending on the size of your house and the width of your hallways it will probably work for home defense also.

I was turned down for a .22 Target revolver here once when I stated I wanted it for target shooting, hunting, and home protection. It was denied with the explanation that "self defense is not a valid use of a firearm." After I asked if he was kidding, and he said he wasn't, I asked the bureaucrat cop if his was only for offense then...

I am sorry anthonyv, I did not know that the Australian Government had completely trampled on your human right to self preservation.
I still think the 22 inch barrel is the best all around. At least you can use it to protect yourself from hogs and fox I guess.

Not to go off topic but you might find a more recent Subaru Baja. They even had seats for the bed that had ski-pole handles to hold on to...

I do not profess to understand Australian law, but how do a lot of guys have semi autos? Does it require a special permit or what?
Very little people in Australia have semi autos. Only primary producers. Which are people that own/work on farms can get C class license which allows pump and semi auto shotguns and semi auto 22's and to get a semi auto centre fire you need D class license which is even harder to get. And then with pistols you must attend clubs a certain amount of times per year and you are only allowed to fire the gun there it is illegal on private property

It could be worse for our Aussie brothers I suppose Anthony.

For what you want to use it for, the short barrel will help a good deal. I don't really see any downsides.
Not that it's especially relevant for your purposes, but it's largely the cowboy games that have driven the development of the Chiappas. After the Chinese clones started coming on the market a few years ago, there was suddenly a market for one that worked. In order to help them avoid the pitfalls that had beset the norincos, they asked cowboy shooter and gunsmith "Lassiter," (aka Tom Wildenaeur,) to help them set up their production line.
