Why the snubbing of small caliber ammo?

[AKguy1985]

Bad shot placement right?

It was dark and I couldn't see.

I always was taught it was shot placement. I would sooner, want to be able to get off three shots on target with a.22LR (good ammo) ....then one shot with a .45 <

As the old saying goes - I'd rather be missed by a 45 than hit by a 22.

Mom just got a 380 shield. Man that slide is smooth and easy to rack. She has very little hand strength, she’s 76 and broke her wrist a couple times. The s&w 442 was getting to hard to pull the trigger. I’m thinking about one of those shields myself.

If you get one, please let me shoot it. Or better, let Mrs shoot it.

You bet. I may go pick one up today. What the heck, right?

I saw a video of a big tough former Marine trooper put 5 shots of .357 center mass point blank on a guy, who then shot the trooper with a .22 derringer, while lying on his back in a ditch, paralyzed. .22 went in under his left arm, in the open spot of his body armor, you could watch the trooper die as his blood pressure dropped while he was calling on his lapel mic for backup, as that little .22 round transected his aorta. It was heartbreaking to watch.

Carry what you're comfortable with.

"I saw a video"

Please post link to video. Otherwise your posting is totally unbelievable.

22LR is great offensive weapon but not BEST choice for defensive situations.

A 22LR ALMOST killed Ronald Reagan.
On March 30, 1981, at 2:27 p.m. EST,[2] Hinckley shot a .22 caliber Röhm RG-14 revolver six times at Reagan as he left the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., after the president addressed an AFL–CIO conference.

Seriously??? LOL, ok, man. So this was a video shown to me by a police officer many years ago that was something they used I think in CLEET academy to demonstrate that disparity of force and size and preparedness doesn't mean everything.

So I have zero doubt someone else here who has been through LEO training can corroborate this video. But now I'm going to make it my personal mission to find it and post if JUST FOR YOU since you have in essence come and called me a f***ing liar.

Tell you what, Mr. "totally unbelievable"....

Here's a link to the incident.

I'll wait for your acknowledgement of your own conclusion-jumping. I saw the actual video, from Trooper Coates' dashcam. I watched him die. Your jumping on me and intimating I am simply lying and exaggerating for the purposes of... what? Internet points?? This is insulting, wrong and shows a lot more about YOU than about ME.

Please... please point out ONE SINGLE WORD in my post that was not just a lie, but was even INACCURATE as to the facts of the story. ONE. WORD.

I'll wait....

Gotcha, Mr. @TeleStratMan.

Here you go.



There's your video.

So... still find my posting to be

totally unbelievable

?

I'm just curious. What's so unbelievable?

Sounds like the bad guy was hit 5 times by the officers account. But sounds like the Narrator had a little CNN in his narrating with 5 center mass description. Sounds like a little exaggerating but not on the tRidiot post. Got to give it up tRidiot he explained it as he saw and heard the video.
