22 lr vs 500 Smith and wesson

[AveryR]

Looking at two different ends of the spectrum quick follow up shots and POWER which would you rather have for a daily carry

 

[Wee Hooker]

Daily Carry..... Neither
If I could only own one gun...... 22lr.

+1, with my Ruger 22/45 I could quadruple tap in the time it would take me to get back on target w/ 500.

If forced to choose, a .22lr. I'm not insecure enough to carry or own a .500.

Silly choices. I chose .22 simply because it comes in guns that I could actually carry in all conditions at all times, unlike the .500.

Of the two I chose 22LR because that was the two choices. In reality I carry a Sig P228 9mm with 16 rounds.

Can't CC my S&W 500 magnum....
.22 ? what a choice, rather have my PPK 380 clone.
About the same size and "will go through a window like a brick!"
LOL! James Bond..... Dr No

22LR is cheaper, more readily available and I can carry more ammo in the same amount of space. One of my daily carries (ok, my daily carry around the house, in the woods, etc) is a Single Six, only with the magnum cylinder. During deer season, I swap it out but the rest of the year that's what I always have with me.

Truly odd selection, like Crosman BB pistol versus .454 Casull.

The .500 would be insane. Ever seen what that round will do to a squirrel?

You can actually CC a 500 quite easily...lol

500 Now you see it, now you do not. The 4" is easy to CCW, the 2 3/4 even more so, but if you add two speedloaders, you need a belt and suspenders. Be Safe

I'd get a pair of 317s, load them with CCI Velocitors. How many bad guys are going to shrug off 16 rounds, even if they're .22s?

Is that a .500 in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?
Sorry, couldn't resist.

So what you're really saying is your insecure, but not to the extent you'd CCW a 500 S&W. Also, what do insecurities have to do with owning a 500?

 

[Lee's Landing Billy]

I was wondering that too Dr. Lou?????

 

[Arik]

Neither

Let's see you SIT DOWN with the 500 stuffed in there

Boy, 2 really unattractive choices there. I guess I'd take the 500 in a short barrel and use some 500 Special loads.

The only time I've seen a S&W 500 as a CCW was on an episode of the TV show "Bones".

The forensic doctor finds a bad guy in her home and pulls a 4" 500 out of her purse and points it at him. Didn't shoot if I remember right.

Kind of heavy as a purse gun, I would think. But it sure would be intimidating.
