About the Kel-tec pistol, this is only anecdotal but I've seen a guy shoot several matches with one and could not get through a stage without a jam. Don't know the details of ammo, etc. So if you go get one, reliability must be tested. However, I will opine that it is internet BS that you will shoot a stream of rounds and hit a target in a dynamic situation. Be better off with a higher capacity 9mm, reliable semi if you can shoot such. I understand hand problems.
Is it useless - NO. I had a SW 651 and found it jammed up with gunk after 50 rounds. Would I be helpless if it was my only revolver - no. But not optimal.
I would take 32 S&W long instead, but it's a lot better than nothing.
I can pretty much guarantee that if I put six .22wmr holes in a bad guy I can run faster than he can.
Was working in 80/90/100 degree heat in blue jeans and a t-shirt, the little NNA .22 Mag in my little leather pouch could slip in my pocket unnoticed. I forgot about it once and brought it with me into a local prison picking up a totaled vehicle from their bodyshop class.……..
Carry only the 22 WMR? Why? …………...
Sigh, another debate wannabeWell, probably, I guess... but it depends on lots of the details -
What is more mathematically true is that I can guarantee that if you used 45's in the exact same wound locations then you would have at least double the size of the holes. That will be true, but whether it makes a difference or not will depend on lots of details.
- Where did those six rounds go exactly?
- How fast of a runner are you now?
- How fast of a runner was the guy you shot before being shot?
- If he loses 90% of his speed and agility, can he still beat you down?
I remember those, very nice, not in the budget back then.Walkalong
Way back when I use to take a little Beretta 950BS with me if was making a late night run to the local convenience store. Didn't feel the need to go with breaking any heavier artillery out, like a J frame .38 Special snubby.
Nowadays I tend to take a micro 9, such as my SIG P365X, or if I want to travel a bit lighter, then it's my Ruger LCP MAX.
I found my NAA Wasp .22 Mag surprisingly accurate. Now I would not want to be in a situation where I fired my 5 and needed to reload, ouchIve had a 22mag NAA mini in my back pocket behind my wallet for a couple of years now. Its not my "primary" gun and really nothing more than a novelty to me, and mostly just something to screw with my buddies when they ask if I have a gun along, if it comes up.
While I always thought they were pretty much a joke, and for the most part, still do, if you take the time to figure them out and learn to shoot them, they arent as bad as youre usually told, at least in the accuracy and shootability departments. Baring hitting something important, Im not sure how things would go with the rounds, but, at least Id be pretty sure they wouldnt be happy, and I had a pretty good chance at hitting "something" and spoil their day. Now whether or not 5 rounds is enough, who knows.
I didnt think this was to bad, for something that's supposed to be "unshootable" past point blank. 5 yards, as quick as I could thumb them off....

Maybe Remington was thinking sideways was better.

And how can you not have something like this if you are from the Greenie Stick'em Caps era?
