Dead, Dying,Obsolete Handgun Cartridges?

I don’t own any of them.

But let me make it perfectly clear, you can easily kill a man with a .22LR pistol.

“But let me make it perfectly clear, you can easily kill a man with a .22LR pistol.”

If you’re willing to wait 10-15 minutes to bleed out, assuming you even hit something vital.

Otherwise they could live for several days.

A silenced .22LR was the preferred weapon of mob hitmen. May still be, for all I know. Until the last couple of decades of the 20th century that and .38 special were responsible for the majority of people killed by handguns.

Robert Kennedy was assassinated with a .22 and Reagan was almost killed.
