Or for that matter, a Browning Buckmark .22 lr semti-auto pistol.
Why, you may ask?
Not that I'm doing this, but a point I want to present to the members here.
Firstly, .22 lr is very easy to shoot in quick succession, more so than any other handgun caliber. You can dump a 10-rd mag full of stingers or mini-mags to the target in a continuous stream of lead - no flinching, no deafening report to distract.
Second, said 10 rds (or more) of .22 lr stingers or mini-mags WILL stop someone given proper shot placement. Proper shot placement would be easier with a .22. I'm talking 10 shots to the upper chest or to the head/face. No gut shots and no appendage shots.
Lastly, in court if it ever comes to that, the prosecuting atty would have to hold up a humble .22 pistol instead of an evil AR15 to the jury.
Let's not underestimate the deadliness of the humble .22 long rifle round. Shot placement is the key, and if you practice practice practice, you should have no problem defending your home with said .22 pistol.
