[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 2130564, member: 14195"] Y'all might remember I posted about testing .22Mag with my NAA Mini and was somewhat disappointed with the results. I made the comment that a longer barrel might do better with the Hornady CD and Winchester PDX1. I remembered a friend has a .22Mag pistol with an 8 inch barrel, so I borrowed it yesterday and gave it a try. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMDAKzuYHiU[/url] That extra 6 inches of barrel length makes a difference! Both bullets penetrated into the third jug of water, which while still doesn't meet FBI standards, is decent penetration. That would equal about 9 inches of ballistics gel. Got much better expansion too. I still wouldn't recommend .22 Mag as a primary defensive handgun, and the Excel pistol isn't concealable anyway. I'm still waiting for one of y'all that has a PMR 30 to send it to me for more testing.
