Interesting.......

There are discussions going on about the suitability of .22lr for self defense and seems the discussions are not so much focused on ballistics, penetration, etc...... but always seems to find it's way to......"shot placement is the key".

So, with that in mind, is there a caliber/SD round combo that renders this rule inapplicable?

I mean, if purchasing such a setup means I don't need to practice and train to protect and defend myself simply by buying one of these, I'll save TONS of money on ammo!

btw.....I CCW a .380 with complete confidence.
