Home defense 22lr isn’t too popular.
I’ve been looking at a 22lr for the wife to ccw eventually. NAA has some interesting small frame 22magnum and 22lr pistols. Compact, looks well designed, and fairly decent price.
If you have a very reliable always-shoots pistol and practice, practice, practice short range head shots (10-15’), you don’t need a big caliber, IMO.

I have their derringer .22 magnum and it sometimes does not fire one round. Don’t know why.
NAA Sidewinder. 22 Mag.
Just sayin’.
