In a nutshell, any accurate .22 delivered into a BG is better than a salvo of .40 cal bullets that never hit their mark. And if 25 rounds isn't enough... couple two mags together.
For HD, choose your ammo wisely. Buy something that always works, is accurate, and has some mass to it. Try out the CCI Velocitor .40gr or the Winchester Super-X PowerPoint 40gr.

That's because the average handgun owner knows little more than how to load it and shoot it at the range. If one does not have at least some basic self-defense training, he is better off hiding under the bed.
That same person will probably be just as inept and ineffective with a 15-22 and a 50-round drum because they have NO training in shooting in high-stress situations.
Spray and Pray is
not a valid self-defense plan.
If one is going to use ANY firearm for self or home defense, he better get training. Either that or leave an address of the funeral home he wants the flowers sent to.
My .22s are the
LAST firearm I would be using and the
LAST ammo i would use in a shotgun is bird shot. I want to
STOP an intruder, not make him mad.
