22 lr Stinger or Velocitor for Home-Defense?

[jpwilly]

Geno, MadMax and his Ruger 10/22 had to chime in...3 years late!

As you can see RickyD the OP has been real active too! ROTFLMAO - 3 postings in 3 years. Way to go Ricky! Maybe he picked the wrong 22lr defence ammo and things didn't go his way.

Glad u got the 10/22 as its better than nothing and can be fun to shoot which is the plus in all this. I'd say the heavier CCI round too.

And, frankly, given the expense, I too would recommend a Mossberg 500 Security package -- 18.5: barrel for home and a 28" for sporting purpose and most practice. These are at least as reliable as anything an incredible value, powerful at 5+1 and easy to reload, ergonomic, short, light...

Actually, when you search for "CCI stinger vs. Velocitor," this thread comes up first. People don't like to look farther than they have to for helpful information. I posted some helpful information. Don't like it, don't read it. The last post on this thread was 9/9/09.

From the description, this could be Richmond or Oakland, CA. Parts of these cities can be rendered temporarily lawless and the citizen will need to rely upon his own devices.

Let's all take a quick reality check for a moment. Gangs are looking for easy prey. A .22 is easily enough to send them looking elsewhere. My minimum load is .38 spl Corbon DPX and I max out at .357 158 gr. Gold Dot hollowpoints and Federal 12 ga. 00 Buck. That's to stop absolutely anything. Roving gangs looking for quick scores and home invasion sex assaults aren't going to approach anything shooting back. A .22 is plenty to fend them off with and the OP is spot-on target.

you say you will buy a 500, why? if you want the best, get an 870. PERIOD.

I went with the 500 and am really happy with the choice. This gun is just rock solid. The more I fire it the better it gets. I love the Mossberg. Shooting it, you can feel how it will cut a person in half. It cycles smoothly and reliably. Once you get it going, it has a rhythm that just keeps wanting to go and go. I have not fired an 870 and maybe that's a better gun - but the 500 is a perfectly solid weapon and like the 686 it makes me feel invincible when I'm holding it.
