The first rimfire ammo marketed towards SD

[jackandblood]

I think this is a very new thing. At least its new enough (2011) and none of the local shops or online places I frequent carry it.

Hornady's Critical Defense in .22 mag. Appears to use a primer & propellant optimized for shorter, pistol/revolver .22mag. 45 gr, with a hollow point behind a poly-tip. I'm guessing this aids in penetration before expansion. A ballastic gellatin test by hornady compared this to a .380, and this was with a tiny ~2" pocket revolver. the .380 was a ~2 " barrel as well. Just speculation, but if as advertised, this new round should rocket out of 4.5"-6" .22mag revolvers. Exciting news for us convertible SA revolver owners.

Thats pretty cool. To bad that a 22wmr cant be shot out of a 22lr. You know....like .38 out of a .357 Oh well....

And yet another gun that Kalifornians can only have wet dreams about....


Can you imagine 30 magnum bullets coming out of that thing in rapid fire???

Fills a niche that has been needed to be filled for years. Actually in .22lr there has been ammo marketed as SD ammo though I think. I have some made with quik shok bullets, was marketed by Aguila and some other company as well.

I feel the .22mag is a much better rifle than handgun cartridge especially in very short barrel handguns.

The Aquila Sniper Sub Sonic .22 LR, 60 grain will penetrate 24 inches of ballistic gel. Works perfect in my Sig Mosquito.

Is that "Critical Defense" or "Critter Defense"?

The Aquila Sniper Sub Sonic .22 LR, 60 grain will penetrate 24 inches of ballistic gel. Works perfect in my Sig Mosquito.

And in my P22 as well.

I'd be interested in trying this in my 22 AR or P22.

I wounder if the stuff will function in my AMT Automag II.
