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?
The Gold Dot load has been out for a while. I took delivery of a bunch 5 weeks ago and sighted in my 22Mag for that load, but practice with the cheaper stuff and just accept the different POI.

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.

Is .22 Mag generally considered an acceptable defensive round? First I've heard of .22 anything being used against anything bigger'n a squirrel.
