That’s why there is little difference between a good .22 with good ammo such as CCI minimag or Stinger and a .45 at close range. The .22 will penetrate deeply and expand. I have never shot a man but I have killed a lot of animals with a .22 and I have known several people who have lain in the ground for many years now because of little .22 bullets and sometimes just one. Many people vastly underestimate what it will do. Shot for shot it may be MORE deadly than a .38 special.

More deer in this country were killed by a .22 bullet than any other...........

.22 is for varmints, plinking, and close range assassinations. It is not a self-defense round.

That's silly.
