It may not be optimal, but no one will volunteer to be shot with one. It is not difficult to put 10 shots from a ruger 10/22 into the A zone of an IPSC target in 2.1 seconds at 7 yards. That's probably at least as good as a shot or 2 from a 357.

A hot .22 LR JHP placed in the right places will stop anyone. Three rounds in the noggin works every time.

Keep in mind that it is very difficult to reload .22s; the primers are a bitch!

LOL.

Series, 9mm Sigs (P226) stainless steel are my choice for the home.

I carry a Sig .380 (9mm Kurtz) P232 stainless steel when travelling.

For yard work, a Bond Arms stainless steel .357 derringer with snake shot. We have copperheads here in North Carolina. On average, I dispose of two to three every March/April/May season. One time I used the chain saw on the snake next to the fallen tree I was limbing.
