Bad guy breaks into house.
Good guy (or gal) comes around the corner pointing a black 22C.
What happens next?
1. Bad guy starts laughing because he instantly recognizes it as a 22 and is not as afraid?
2. Bad guy starts bleeding with 10 tiny holes in him he wasn't born with or better yet sees what he knows is a gun and runs the other way as fast as he can?
I would bet number 2 before number 1. I own a 9C but would not hesitate to carry the 22C if my 9 was down. That is until I buy a 45C. Then it and my 9 would have to be down. Fat chance.
There is also #3
Man with 10 holes in chest shoots 22c used with a real gun before he bleeds out. Dieing man wishes he would have bought a FS 22 so that he might have centered all 10 shots better.
