[QUOTE="0311, post: 2365793, member: 26943"] A lot of people favor .22 LR and mag for derringers, and I am one of those who is not skeptical of this round. The .22 is terribly underestimated. There is no doubt in my mind the .22 will penetrate better than a .38, I compare the .22 to being stabbed with an ice pick and the .38 to being slammed with a baseball bat. The ice pick is more deadly. This is a terrible comparison, but to me the only reason for carrying a derringer is to buy time to access the IWB holster and bring the Glock to bear. I think getting slammed with a baseball bat would buy a couple of seconds, as opposed to being neatly drilled with the more deadly ice pick. It comes down to a matter of choice, based partially on shot placement; if it's a moving struggle with you fighting two people - one on top of you and one kicking you, can you get a head shot with that .22?
