Thanks Lucky Gunner for recommending this channel.

Spot on. Shot placement beats bullet caliber every time. Plus, the low recoil makes it much easier to shoot accurately. The low cost of ammo means you can practice more often. Practicing more often means you will become a much better shot. I have named it the avalanche effect. All of the advantages start compounding. It makes sense to me.

I`m glad I came across your video before I made a purchase . I`m disabled and looking for a pocket carry 22 lr . I was leaning towards the Ruger LCP semi-auto . After hearing your comment on the hammer of a revolver covering more surface of the rimfire cartridge, it makes a lot of sense . I`m now going to purchase the Ruger LCR revolver . Thank you !!

My wife and I carry 22lr LCR (hers) and LCRx 3" (mine) and train extensively with them (1-2 visits to the range per week). We've recently switched from CCI Minimags to Velocitors. These Rugers are magnificent EDC's and we can put 8 shots anywhere on the assailant regardless of draw hand. My gal hides hers in a CCW garter most of the time and Sticky makes a great IWB holster for my LCRx 3". We have, shoot, and carry a big selection of 9mm, but our favs by far are these sweet rimfire revolvers!

No, this is NOT the 'dumbest thing ever'. Thank you for the info.

My good friend a 20 year Vietnam veteran in the Marines always used to carry a 22 revolver he did bodyguarding and other security work he said he had six brothers on his side

No one talks about how loud most rounds are. If you fire a 22 your ears won’t be ringing, which should make it easier to assess where any intruders are after your first shots. Why does no one talk about this?

I love your videos. I’ve been debating on getting either a 38 lcr or 22lr lcr. My only hesitation on getting the 22lr is the heavy trigger pull and how dirty the 22lr ammo is. I have short stubby fingers that don’t have a lot of strength in them.

Wisdom here. I am just figuring out how to conceal carry that 3" LCRX

[nfirhm]

What is the accuracy requirement and how does your revolver group?

Great video. I believe that a 22lr will suffice in a self defense situation. And the LCRX is a great choice for that.
That said I would like to add a comment about expansion in a larger caliber. Say 9mm. As it Penetrates and begins expanding it transfer energy in multiple directions increasing damage to tissue and vitals, Cavitation.
This also puts more stress in the entire body,
knock down power.
As I said I do believe a 22 will work. It just may take longer for someone full of adrenaline and meth to feel the effects.

Ruger Lcr 22lr or sw 43c 22lr? Your thoughts?

Which is why Father Browning designed the 25 ACP. But lo, the real American was insecure about the size of his appendage as Freud might point out so the 45 ACP it was! In the name of Jeff Cooper amen.
