I’m new to the site and just recently came across the fairly new Federal Punch Personal Defense 22 rounds. I’ve done some research on this round and the ballistics and penetration look good. I’ve fired several 100 rounds through a Ruger LCR and a Sig P322 suppressed. They ran flawlessly even in the Sig, which is fast becoming notorious for FTEs. That 20rd mag is sweet but you have to be careful how you load it and some ammo just won’t run. So far my CCI mini and the punch run well.
I know I’ll get crucified but I’m really trying get my wife to shoot and carry. She hates the recoil of anything above a .22. I’ve tried everything! I even tried a Ruger LCR .327 mag. Still a decent amount of kick in a small gun and the ammo is really hard to find (aka ridiculously expensive!). I like the Ruger LCR .22LR. 8 rounds and nothing to go wrong. Just pull the trigger. I added a Lasermax on it since the chances of her hitting anything with a 1.9” barrel is pretty slim. I’ve got the speedbeez speed loader and case for extra rounds.
Anyway - curious if anyone has any opinions on the new Federal Punch as far as self defense. I guess I always figured I wouldn’t want to be shot with a .22 and it’s better than harsh language!
