Unless of course you're on a concrete slab. My experience ( 20 plus years) in residential fires ( single family and multi family under...

Local shop had a neat little .22 Mag Taurus pump at a pretty good price and in great shape.
I haven't heard if they work/ shoot well or not.
I've become a big fan of the .22 Magnum lately and could pick this one up
for cheap.
Any info and or experience would be greatly appreciated.
