I love 22's ! all my life I carried when I was hiking, hunting, camping, walking down the road, 4 wheeling for poachers, coffee on the porch before anyone was up my 34, 18, 46 I enjoyed each one... it depended on my anticipated protection at the time. About 5 years ago on a whim bought a 317 air lite snub, put the nicest pair of old diamond checkered grips I had on it and I find it with me everywhere I go...in my pocket all the time. I have found my hand reaching for it many times, and happy as can be it is so light, concealable and still does what 22's do. I love it!
