I prefer the Remington Viper in my 43C. The .22 LR in a good revolver is no joke. First, you eliminate the unreliable feeding found in the autos. Second, if you get the rare dud (and it is rare with good, modern ammo and a good revolver with uncompromised springs) you pull the trigger again. While I believe that five rounds of .38 Special are better than eight rounds of .22 rimfire, the .22 in the hands of somebody who knows how to use it is perfectly viable.
