A good friend of mine has one. It's severely defective. It's not unusual for it to malfunction on every single round in the magazine. And never the same malfunction twice in a row. The accuracy was also extremely poor. I still wonder what was wrong with it.

If you want a plinker and you don't want to save up $250 for a real .22, sure. Maybe you'll get a good one, and if you don't, the manufacturer is reported to give excellent customer service.

For self defense, no way. .22 lr is marginal, and there are many larger caliber options for the same size or weight.

The reliability just isn't there when your life is on the line. I wouldn't trust my friend's HP22 to stop a rampaging soda can, let alone anything more dangerous.
