[SELFDEFENSE]

Sounded great except for the trigger dinging the frame like that.

FWIW
a .22lr is better than no gun

Yes, well, someone posted a real world example of a P22 in self defense with a home invasion:

As I recall, it sounded like it took the whole clip to do the job, but it did eventually work at stopping the attacker.

I noticed that after posting the link and trying it. I wonder if Google's web history feature would work.

Yes, try this cached page through Google:

8 round fired. 5 initially, 2 more in another room and 1 more in another room. I don't think the tell you what the ammo was, however.

I was not really surprised at the outcome of that comparison, I had a Ruger, and it was an OK gun but I like the P-22 a lot better.

I read some posts about using a P-22 for home defense over at RFC, it got quite a few laughs over there. Trust me a 22 LR round should get more respect than it does. I keep one under the pillow at night and sleep real well.

No, I am not saying that it is the ideal defense weapon for everyone, just saying that is what I use at present.

I own both the MKIII and the P22 and I like the P22 much better, not to mention that Ruger is a bear trying to get back together after taking it down to clean it. I may be letting my bias show as Walther is #1 in my heart. I own a P38, P99, PPK, and the P22 and all are superb guns in my opinion. Love those Walther's
