Had a LCP 22, great little gun and fed everything I put thru it. Even the W-W 36gr HP with the sharp shoulder.
Gel testing starts around 5:30 mark.
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!

I will never argue that .22 is a decent SD weapon, but, if it's all you have (that was me at one time in the very broke past) you empty the shooter into the goblin. That would have been 8 stinger hits with my S&W 317 AirLite. It certainly would have adjusted the attitude of the bad guy. (I didn't know they made a .22 LCP)

That is decent penetration for a .22lr. Your attacker would be left bleeding. Not sure how much of a chance that they might go flat, but they wouldn't like getting shot that many times. Beats getting killed by an attacker.

if you shoot into the eye, or ear, or medulla oblongata, or through the bridge of the nose, or the spine in the neck, i think you likely have dead stop

Not sure of the total penetration in those areas, Grizz. Still, those are areas which will usually shut things down completely and permanently. I do hope to never need to find out on another human. It does not seem that you are pushing to find out either. Being ready and willing does not mean eager.

i absolutely do not want to kill any humans. all my experience is with venison. sitka blacktails have similar bone sizes to some of ours. i'd say whatever a particular load will do to a deer will also do to a human. skulls are about the same except for where the antlers mount. hip joints. neck connections.

a neck shot that interrupts the wiring should be lights out. i tell my wife to start at the adams apple and work up from there. i know someone who has killed deer with 22lr. shoots into the brain through the eye. lights out. have shot deer directly into the ear canal. [not with a 22] the deer was dead before it hit the ground.

a couple of years ago a seattle criminal shot a man in the chest with a 380 lcp. broke the backbone. drt. i think a 22 can do that, depending on the exact details of the bullet. if only we could get hard cast 40gr 22lr, i might carry that instead of 380 or 9mm. there are places i go where i have 3 choices on me, and sometimes i drive with one of them in hand. [along the idea of "one hand for myself, and one hand for the car" ]

handgun wounds are 10% fatal. don't have the source but have read it a number of times. the "expert" CDC perhaps. i think knives have a better score that way. i think the reason is the ["fire into the least vulnerable best protected area of the threat, and keep shooting until the threat isn't.]

after shooting the first deer on the Mogollon Rim, with a savage 99 in 243, and blowing lungs out of the exit hole, i started to concentrate on the CNS shot as being the most humane, most successful, quickest, and cheapest way to harvest deer.

and perhaps i've read that ranchers put down cattle with a 22 shot through the skull. idk, might me misinformed about that one.

Whack someone's head with a baseball bat....not any penetration, but he's down for the count. :idea: :idea:
