I probably carry my Ruger LCPII .22 more than anything else. It’s so light I hardly notice it. I usually try most .22 pistols, but the Glock was infamous as being a piece of crap when it first came out. Having misery with their 42, I decided to not even give it a go. The 17 is my nightstand gun. I still like Glock but I stick to what they make that works.

Sounds like the standard left protester Marxists make their own so called laws.

Me? I'll stick to the tried and true Walther PPK in .380.

If it's your or your family's life on the line, money is no object.

This ain’t in LA, this is Huntington Beach, we voted for the requiring ID to vote, and the city and OC DA are conservative.

I sold mine and of course now I regret it. I already had the LCP 9MM. The .22 sure was handy.
