22 mag is a far different round than the 22lr and while not the best SD round, it if far better. I have a couple 22wmr handguns, one four inch and one 5 3/4 inch. I also had a 22lr snubbie years ago...... it was near useless for me.

Agreed. I would not bother having one. I have one of those new Keltec PMR 30’s on order for a target shooter/plinker. Its a semi auto .22 mag with a 30 round magazine. It only weighs 19 oz fully loaded and no kick.
