I would have no issues with a 10/22 stuffed with CCI Velocitors.

Shot it right behind the shoulder.
Shot placement is limited when terminal ballistics are inadequate. It's not the first I have shot and ran off. Other then a spine or head shot it lacks the stopping power for coyote hunting. 22LR is not recommended for SD. If thats all you have so be it.
Normally I use .223 here is a 5.56 gelatin video.

Here we go again.
This is why I reload 22lr for home defense. 100% reliability with stopping power you wouldn't believe. .25gr Unique under my own design 400gr WLN bullet.

People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

If given the choice I would not pick a .22 or even a .22 mag for self defence. However like my buddy BUBBA once said to me. "Let's test it out. I'll shoot you in the chest a cpl of times and see what happens". We didn't test it but I'm betting I would have felt some discomfort."Every day I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America. If I'm not on there, I go to work."Comment

You may want to try a .22 short case, it would give your more chamber room. Also consider going to a 390 gr bullet.Comment

.22lr for Self Defense? Heck ya! Try unloading a full mag of .22's into a bad guys face or neck and see if he gets up.Comment

I would totally use .22 for defense if that's all i had or if the conditions were met to use a 22. my 1022 shoots 1 inch groups at 50 yards. i think 10 rounds of 22 at the chest is gonna put someone down. If it doesn't then i'll run to the threat and start whacking him over the head with the rugerComment

I would not be afraid of using one of CMMG AR22s for self defense. 50 rounds will sure stop anyone. Very light at 5 pounds,easy to aim and accurrate to shoot in a small space. I could put those 50 in em pretty Darn quickly too.
Is it the perfect cartridge,no,but I personally would trust the right .22 model to do the job. I know one of the big arguments against .22 as self defense is they can sometimes have misfires and do so more than centerfire.
However if I use good quality .22 in mine and it never ever jams or has a dud round. But Murphys Law could be a problem,with my luck it probably would be
.22 Rimfire has become alot more reliable than it used to be. Any weopon can fail at anytime. They are mechanical devices and mechanical devices usually fail at the most inopportune time,as we all know..
I would trust my CMMG to do the job if it ever actually did come to that. 50 rounds in a firearm, is sure a big advantage, in my theory anyway..Last edited by AR22; 02-02-2013, 12:30 PM.Comment
