I have seen similar articles. A shotgun is by far the best. I think the article that praised the .22 did so because it is something even a novice can shoot without being intimidated by recoil or muzzle blast. I disagreed with most of its reasoning. A .22 is OK and surprisingly effective but wouldn't be one of my first choices. There are other more effective mild recoil options.

Most likely because .22's are the most popular gun in America. Also not as intimidating when firing as a larger caliber weapon. Ever hear a 9mm go off inside a room without ear protection? You almost go into shock from the sound.

The one I read seemed to be focusing on the effectiveness of the 22lr at repelling attackers as opposed to killing. I think it's because in some situations other calibers, despite how much damage they inflict, aren't as effective because the attackers go into shock or because of pure adrenaline. When shot by a 22lr round it's more like the worst stinging pain imaginable but without the aid of adrenaline or going into shock.
The only reason I don't carry a Walther P22 (they are so concealable!) is because 22lr guns are so finicky.

That and a .22 rifle is all I have ever hunted with.
I have 6 shotguns now for home defence.

Quite possibly the use as a home defense and the likelihood of rounds penetrating walls and possibly injuring others inside.

My favorite meme shared today.
How in the hell could a registered democrat and known (to the FBI) terrorist sympathizer stroll into any establishment and purchase a weapon of war?

Everything will go through sheetrock. The studs will stop some rounds if hit but the odds are if you shoot and miss its going through that wall. So don't shoot unless you have to and if you do don't miss and always be aware of what is behind your target.

Sure. GOP/NRA-established loopholes that ensure almost anyone can buy a gun. If they let Charlie Manson out of prison tomorrow, he'd probably be allowed to buy a gun. The NRA lobby has helped make it easy for the wrong people to have weapons.
Thanks, Republitards!

It was a toss up between a springfield xds and then shield for me. Went with the xds, but it was basically a coin flip, loved both.
TOS and MFE are the same?????

Yes that's true but after a .22 goes through a wall sheet rock or not the likelihood of serious injury is less.

Did you get the XDS before the recall or after?

No on Charlie, but I am serious about the loopholes. Watching the gun nuts on here discuss weapon effectiveness is making me ill. Perhaps they masturbate when they do this. It's just weird how they love their guns.
