I carry the North American everywhere that I don’t go through a metal detector. I carry it even when I mow the yard or wash the car. When I go out, I carry a Glock 19 with a the standard 15 rd mag and a couple 17 rd backup mags... But the little North American still comes along for the ride. I’ve had it since they first came out about 25 or 30 years ago. It shows no rust even though I neglect it and it still goes boom every time I pull the bang switch.
I bought that for my wife who was in the mental healthcare field...if you get my drift.
Some told me WTF is she gonna do with that? I told them if some wacko grabs her from behind, I instructed her to simply cock the thing and point it over her shoulder and let it go.
22 LR isnt as useless as people think.
What shocked me is how accurate that little SOB is at 10 to 20 feet. I mean, you can hit a shoebox sized target time after time at 20 feet. And it penetrates...which really shocked me.
I sometimes carry my 22mag into public places around here. What good is a 22mag? Well, for one thing, it doesnt kick and you can take shot after shot without re-aiming. Just point and click them off.
