Only issue with .22 as a self defense round is feeding reliability in a semi auto. But with a revolver or a good rifle, very effective (with good shot placement).

Wouldn't want to get hit with one that's for sure!

I carry my little NAA .22mag revolver as a last ditch BUG, I'm a believer! People in my neck of the woods used to (I'm sure they still do) poach deer quite often with .22 rifles, quiet and a head shot will usually put them down quick.

thanks for the video MT!
