He seems to think not, but I’m very impressed at the performance of the .22 magnum. I certainly wouldn’t have a problem carrying a .22 magnum revolver as an ankle gun for personal defense.

His conclusions are as accurate as his shooting ability! He, like many who do these so-called informational videos, fail to mention when discussing “ballistics vs stopping power” that it’s all about shot placement.

To be fair, I don’t shoot subcompacts well either, which is why I don’t have one. Esp. with my gnarled knuckled from RA.
I’m not sure anyone shoots subcompacts well.

I have an lcr in 22 mag that I carry more often than anything else. Less recoil and easy to stick in the pocket. I have snubbies in 380, 38 special, 357, 9 mm and 45. Since most of what I need to deal with is feral youth i think 22 mag will suffice.

If you want to squeeze all the energy available from the 22mag, yer gonna need at least 14 inches of barrel to do that.

I carry an LCP loaded with alternating flat nosed solids and hollow points. HP does more initial damage and the solids penetrate more.
