i dont want to start a war on this subject but me and my friends have a big debate on this .

Use the search function, do some reading, carry what you feel comfortable with, and debate football with your friends.

hopefully someone locks this quickly

i prefer the .22lr cartridge for it's reliability, stopping power and ammo availability.

To make this a "perfect manstopper", couple with the Walther P22 workhorse.

It's all in fun. Don't sweat it. Those of us that have been around a while know that this conversation just goes in circles.
