Interesting discussion.

If you don't mind me asking the same question except make it about .22 magnum.

I have a S&W 351PD that a police Lt. and my CPL instructor both said is very adequate for concealed carry.

I've always been torn about .22 mag being enough but the handgun is so light!!

Any thoughts about what kind of .22 mag shells to buy.

Both of the "pros" who said it was a good cartridge for self-defense said get hollow points.

Thanks for any opinions.

I'm thinking it might be a good gun for concealed carry in the warm months. Of course, up here in Michigan, this lasts for about 2 weeks!!
