Economics 101 (intellectual debate purposes): You can only have one (.22LR v 9MM)....

[Bobson]

"All potential uses"...The Mole People who live in the center of the earth highly value the .22 l.r. round, particularly the sub sonic. Being sensitive to sound and there not being a whole lot of large game beneath the earths crust they rely on it for all potential uses. So I can trade with them my "unlimited quality ammo" for precious jewels, platinum and gold. That settles it.

With my new wealth I'll hire Skribs to be my butler and find out what a butler does.

Very entertaining post. Particularly the part about Skribs being your butler.

.22 WMR and .32 H&R Mag are my 2 favorite rounds. After surgery, I just have a hard time with anything above 158 gr .38 spec wadcutters. Say what ya will but I would take .22lr anytime for survival by getting small game.

If I could only have one of the two, hands down a 9mm. If I could only have one gun (awful, right?) at all, it would be a 9mm handgun. Carry, HD, plinking, survival... A .22 just doesn't cut it for power and reliability to use it for any form of defense, to me. And a 9mm will kill a squirrel just as dead as a .22 if it came to that. A 9mm will stop an attacker much better than a .22 if it came to that. Fun for the dime, I think 9mm is still 3rd behind .22 and 5.45x39, but it''s no contest as to which I would take if I could only have just one.
