[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3343598, member: 10465"] But to answer your question, I think the best .22LR rounds for self-defense is probably the very reliable CCI Mini-Mags, Velocitors, or Stingers. I have 40 gr Mini-Mags in my S&W M&P .22 Compact for the wife to have as an easy access "kitchen gun". The Mini-Mags come in either 36 gr HP, or 40 gr solids. I have never had an ammo related issue with CCI Mini-Mags in any .22LR firearm, so if I was going to use a .22 for self-defense, I would go with those because I want the gun to function with each pull of the trigger above all else. CCI Velocitors would also be "fine", as far as a 22LR round goes, although I've shot a gazillion Mini-Mags and maybe just a couple hundred Velocitors, so I can't attest to how well they will function in your gun.. CCI Stingers have a bit longer case and some firearms manufacturers do not recommend their use for that reason. If you DO want to use Stingers, make sure your gun is NOT on that no-user list and that it functions reliably with them. Best bet IMO is to stoke that thing up with 40 gr Mini-Mags and call it good.
