These do have a lot of merit for many who would otherwise not carry a gun at all.
Many elderly folk would be very well served with such a piece, provided the trigger could be tuned to a reasonable poundage.

Looks like a great little revolver. Grant, you have any recommendations for a good .22 Mag load for this?
This does look like a great little revolver. Had my eye on it since I first learned about it.
I haven't done a lot of research on .22 Mag. Obviously 22lr is not ideal for self-defense for many reasons, including reliability of going bang. (But carrying a .22 is better than nothing.)
I can't imagine it would be much different, but is .22 Mag any better in reliability?
I am waiting for the SPEER Gold Dot ammo to come out.Quote:

Like to see DocGKR test the Gold Dot .22mag loading in the S&W before I let anyone I love carry it. I do concede that it would be better then nothing for those who cant handle a .38spl loaded with factory wad-cutters.
Interesting. Have not seen it out yet.Quote:

wouldn't mind having one in 22LR for practice....
