I'm in the camp that a 22 magnum fired from a 4in barrel revolver is a viable defensive weapon. I know there are better choices.
But 9 rounds of 22 WMR I believe is nothing to
take lightly. Most shootings happen at 5yrd or less. It's not a charge stopper, but neither is a 380, 9 or most any other handgun caliber unless you hit the CNS. The round will certainly penetrate to acceptable levels, bit expansion is in doubt.
I carry a 9 or 357 as my EDC. But I can see the Diminutive 22 WMR as a viable defensive weapon.
