My next handgun
My old man pointed this out to me. I'm thinking it would work for a CCW & be a LOT of fun to go bunny hunting with.

Of course, if yohu wanna stick with the cheap .22LR ammo, you could always go with the:

That is a very poor choice for a CCW. .22 magnum is not a sufficient self defense round. These also have poor reviews as far as reliability.

I haven't read up on the reviews as of yet, but I know the .22 Mag comes in a ballistic tip now. With 30 rounds, if the handgun were reliable & accurate, I'd feel better with this than a 9mm.

Sorry dude. I with Glockguy on this one. A .22 Mag is no where close to what you want for a self defense round. .22 rounds are for killing birds, squirrels, rabbits, etc... not people. If you'd like, I can recommend a very good company that will provide you with some very good weapons training.

.40 or .45.. settle for nothing else for personal protection.

I have heard that the .22 has killed more people than any other cartridge. I have 2 .22 magnums. One is a rifle and the other a derringer belly gun. The .22 magnum is quite potent. For personal protection I would want my first shot to be a 40 or 45 caliber. The fire coming out of the barrel on a 45 would be enough to deter me let alone receiving a hollow point.

Back to the subject, each person (much like clothing) will have their own preference as to the make/model of handgun. I prefer Springfield XD, others prefer Glock, S&W, etc. You won't know what you'll like until 1) you put it in your hand and get a good fit and 2) see the sticker price.

That 22mag looks cool. I bet it would be a fun plinker. If you get it I would like to give it a try sometime.
I had a Kel-Tek P11 way back when, the gun shop told me how great it was and I liked the compact size. It was a poor handling and shooting gun, worse than the S&W Sigma if you can imagine! I don't typically sell guns but I sold that one. I can't see how they could screw up a 22 handgun, hopefully it will be sweet.

Although if at all possible I carry my Kimber .45, when I need something smaller I like my little Ruger LCP .380. And I know a few other companies have come out with compact .380s since the Ruger started selling like hotcakes.
