This 22 WMR ammo is made specifically for handguns and works really good, it will go deep and expand. What do you think? Good for self defense? Check out the video.
The recoil would be much lighter than a centerfire cartridge.Interesting. I had no Idea Hornady made those.
Would these make a good choice for an elderly person with hand strength issues or pain?
Here's another interesting video review.

I don't see myself carrying this any time soon, but I have a very nice older Taurus 941 in stainless, with a three-inch barrel and eight-round cylinder. It would certainly make a good trail gun, and this ammunition might fill the bill in that regard quite nicely.
I too have a 5.5" Single Six and love it. This revolver is perfect for both the Hornady & Speer 22 WMR ammo. It used to be shooting 22 WMR in a pistol/revolver wasn't a good idea because the hollow points didn't expand and it didn't improve the velocity enough to justify the cost of the ammo. But that's not the case anymore. This ammo was specifically designed for use in handguns and it works! While it may not be my first choice for self defense, I wouldn't sweep it under the rug as not being enough.i had a ruger lcr 22wmr and have a ruger single six, for which i got hornady and speer handgun specific defense ammo. even using this handgun ammo i really didn’t enjoy the lcr in 22wmr and replaced it with a well liked lcr 22lr. on the other hand, the 5.5” s.s. is a wicked accurate shooter (for me) when fed with any 22wmr, and is a real dream boat shooter with this handgun ammo.
There are many reviews on youtube using a NAA mini revolver with the Hornaday Critical Defense 22 WMR & Speer Gold Dot. Both seem to work very well it.Has anyone tested the velocity difference between 22 mag and 22 LR in a 2 inch snub? I wonder how much additional velocity the 22 mag has and if it’s worth the additional price of ammo for a snub.
