Velocitors will not expand from a 2" gun.

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!!

I tested CCI maxi-mag +V hollowpoints and .30 gr TNT Gold Dots from my 2" Black Widow. The results are in the Perma-Gel test thread in the ammunition forum. The TNTs expanded impressively, even through four layers of denim, but failed to yield even 8" penetration as I recall. The +Vs seem to use a powder that yields higher velocities from short barrels, but do not expand from my 2" gun. They penetrate about 16" in Perma-Gel, and are what I load my Black Widow with.
