That was my thought too, provided the 10/22 is clean and lubed and those mags work as they should, plus ammo the particular rifle functions properly with.
People who say .22LR is totally inadequate for defensive use have never been hit with one, let alone a 25rd mag dump or two. (I'm sure somebody somewhere will depart from context and argue for .50BMG as the minimum.)
A stock 10/22 is a nice lightweight handy sort of a carbine that'll do a lot for you in a variety of situations.
I saw where the OP mentioned sights... removing the red dot to simplify it... wonder how his mother would feel about a ghost ring... quick and don't get much simpler.
I agree with your assessment of 22lr and 10/22's. I don't see anyone hanging around after being it with multiple 22lr rounds.
After hitting someone 5 plus times would that be the same as them getting hit with buckshot?
