“since it simply is NOT a self defense caliber.”

Wasn't going to use for self defense but, if you're a good enough shot.....

.22 is a favorite of *hit men* because the bullet generally disintegrates in the skull. Thanks for the reply!

Been there, done that! Oh, did it they disintegrate!

I once bought a butcher pig, and took it home to slaughter. Put some corn down, and shot it in the 'sweet spot'. It shook its head, and charged me. Fortunately, I was in the barn, and could climb onto a tractor hood. I shot it between the eyes, and just ticked it off more. As it turned, I put one behind the ear, same result, and same again in the back of the head as it turned away to get up steam to charge again.

Nine shots, time to relaod, and a very angry pig. I reloaded, since I carry extra in my pocket so I don't forget later. This time the pig came from the other side of the tractor, and then turned the opposite side to me, and dropped like a rock when I put one behind the ear.

Naturally I was curious, so I used a meat saw on the head. The skull was over 3" thick on the left; the brain was squeased entirely onto the right half of the skull, which was eggshell thin.

There were both disintegrated and just flattened bullets in all the otherwise correct places that hadn't even dented that thick shull. Had it turned the opposite direction in the first place, the second shot would have done it.

Also, decades ago, San Francisco police found a man in an alley, smelling of alcohol, vomitting & complaining of a headache. Off to the drunk tank!

Next day he wouldn't stop complaining about his head, and looked like he may have a concussion, so the jail nurse examined him & felt lumps.

Yep! 9 .22 slugs under his scalp!

No! I didn't do it! I just read it in the paper, back when newspapers still printed news.
