Just spotted these and checked a few pages and haven't found anything on them, has anyone fired them yet? Not as cheap as fed bulks but IMO worth the few extra dollar for what I would assume from cci an awesome bullet.

How about the m&p 15-22 pistol? :) Seriously for me it's what you are somfortable with. I have my colt defender 45 auto, its small, molds to your hand with the rubber grip and easily concealable with some serious knockdown power for its size.

I don't think anyone would disagree that the biggest round caliber would be most beneficial for defensive purposes in a shtf or any scenario, heck if I could prepare for the worst case I would have a 6 figure amount of .308 caliber rounds with a fal rifle, but thats unrealistic for me anyway. No...

Yeah opinions will differ a lot depending on how someone envisions the scenario. I do appreciate your thoughts on it and on the link. Getting a AR with a 22 conversion does sound like a great idea, that keeps both options open with very little extra space needed for keeping both the 223 and 22...

I had a buddy shoot it for the first time last week lefty, he didn't have any problems with it.

That's disappointing to hear as I have the duu model myself thinking it would be free of any issues. I did check mine and no wiggling on the extractor so I hope it's an isolated case. Sorry about your troubles with it.

True in a single firefight. I'll clarify I don't in any way think of a 22 lr a better round to take to a firefight against a .223 or larger round. Nor am I considering that a firefight is the only thing I consider when choosing what would be more practical. I am considering all things in a...

Good point on the wear of high ammo usage. Can't argue that. Though I don't know enough about AR's in general, are they built to last longer?

Well said, no argument there, which is why I wanted to start this discussion, there's so many different ways one could come up with for how things would be in a catastrophic event. Though I still have my opinion on the 22 lr it doesn't mean it wouldn't change. I probably have different...

Yeah a .308 would be the choice for going against someone with the intent on killing you, you could just shoot at their cover and penetrate cars, walls etc. and still kill. I sure would not want to go against someone with a .308 of any rifle with a 22. I only question do you have enough...

Agreed, in a one on one with similar protective covering and skill the higher powered rifle will be the more likely survivor of an encounter. My thought when it comes to a firefight it's to not outgun them with power but with the quantity of ammo, though I would imagine that there are people...

I'd like to start a discussion with gun owners in general but I choose the 15-22 forum simply because I own one and it's relevant to my opinion on the discussion. There is as most people on here know a nearly infinite amount of discussions based on whether a 22 caliber firearm would make a...
