With rimfire cartridges, for me, a revolver is the best choice. In a high stress situation revolvers are very forgiving. So what it only holds 8.. If the placement of the first shot is dead on the other 7 are just for backup.
@@LA_Commander standards aren’t the end-all resource for what is actually practical. Plenty of people get killed every year by .22lr, and dead is dead- no matter what caliber got you there. Also, FBI standards do not excuse the asinine comment that the first shots would “just make them angry”. If they were on drugs, perhaps-but shot placement should be first and foremost, and will negate any issues with .22 that were just brought up.

I load mine with CCI Velocitors or Aguila Interceptors. When you are old an encounter will morel likely be up very close and a revolver wont go out of battery if you jam it into your attacker. Looking at the 22 mag.
Yes Jill. That's what it comes down to. A large caliber gun with high recoil for me is hard to be accurate with. If you hit someone it will get the job done. I pray I never need to but if someone is so evil as to attack me well I may have to deliver a little greeting and show them Im not defenseless.
When you need protection, a .22 in your pocket is better then the .45 at home. (Note: The bad guy is not going to scoff and say "That's only a .22" as he stares down the barrel.)
Well it wouldn’t be my first choice as a fighting gun. But I definitely won’t dismiss it either. It’s a modern derringer for ATM distance violent confrontations. Two rounds of .22lr does add up to .44 magnum when you put a bullet in each eyeball.
That is not a bad choice. At least you went with the Magnum round. But the Smith & Wesson has a 7 round revolver and the Taurus an 8 round, so there are plenty of good choices out there.

For years I thought I was an out of touch old dude for liking my revolvers a little more than my auto's. It seems to me that there is a resurgence of revolvers interest with many new models and some old models coming back on the market. Is there a reason for this? I just like their simple operation and dislike those hard to load magazines beyond 5-6 rounds and slides.
I think they both serve a good purpose. Revolvers are classic, reliable, simple to use and have really evolved over the years in their weight and size which has made them more enjoyable to carry. Same goes for the semi auto category. Smaller sizes and more dependable choices. I think it kinda boils down to personal preference but I'll always have both.
I am also a revolver fan.....was even thinking a 9mm revolver. The only issue I'm having is that my arthritis is getting worse and the recoil system of a semi is more forgiving than a heavy steel 4 inch 357mag revolver like my S&W 686.......22mag revolver looks like a future consideration for my revolver collection
I've got the 22LR, and also have the LCRx in 22mag (6shot) . They make great little revolvers for pocket carry. When I'm not carrying my EC9s, I often pocket carry my 22mag revolver, and I now use my 22 LCR for practice.
Thought of doing that too. I've got the 22 mag. Is there alot of difference in recoil? Does the 22lr really work well for practice? I know it was a year ago you commented but I hope you respond.
Who wouldn't like a 22 revolver. According to this review it's pretty cool. Good for practicing. It's accurate. And 22 guns are lethal. I'm sure it's a good conceal and carry weapon. I would buy myself one. Revolver guns are good so you don't leave shell casings behind.
Something went wrong with my hands, they're still trying to figure it out, long story short, if I use em to much they swell up with blood and I can't even hold a pencil at that point. My Colt Commander, I get three shots, and I can't hold it anymore, Glock 21, I can get about half a clip, 38 snubnose, three shots. My lcp 22 I can go four or five clips, I plan on getting a lcr 22 because it's pretty much all I got left. My son will have to inherit my other larger calibers. I do slightly better in bigger calibers with a full sized revolver, but not much.
Mine will not run CCI minimags or CCI clean or any kind of Aquilla ammo. Ruger told me that CCI changed their ammo and now it jams up the LCR. Mine has been back to Ruger twice and they say its the ammos fault. Very ammo picky gun, worse than any semi auto 22 I have owned.
.22 ammo is cheap and out of a 550 round box I've had maybe 2 or 3 duff rounds. With 9 chances, even if 3 fail you're still there with 6 and the bad guy isn't going to want to stand in front of you after you fire the first shot. If you went up to ,22 magnum then you can even get through body armor.
@@9MilRidge They made a 22lr self defense round tailor made for short barrels I think it was Federal though it still wouldn't be my first choice for SD.
I don't know exactly what the weight is but it feels close to 10 lbs. Because it's rimfire you have to have a heavier trigger pull for the hammer to dent a rimfire cartridge. But because it has no stacking like other revolvers it is very smooth. I had a friend who had nerve damage in his arm and couldn't shoot most double action revolvers but he could shoot the Ruger LCR revolvers both 22 and 9mm.
22wmr is alot more distracting flashbang for not much more result out of a short barrel, even with handgun specific ammo. in a defensive scenario i dont want to blow out my ears and lose night vision by shooting 22wmr. i kept the 8 shot ruger lcr 22lr for a ccw and ditched the 6 shot lcr 22wmr.
Confrontations at 15 feet is not exactly how it goes. Maybe in Hollywood but not real life? Think about what you are saying. No attacker or assailant is going to warn you from distance of their intentions. It will be close where they are arm's length if at all. I would not want to be in front of a Judge after shooting someone at distance claiming they were a threat. It has to be reasonable. You have to prove you had no options. It's happens at distance that you can prove deadly force was necessary, but it isn't the "likely" distance.
I agreed to an extent, Elisjsha Dicken the armed hero from Indiana proved that not all CCW shootings are close up and personal. So I do agree with you 99 percent of attacks are close up and personal but I also think you should train for all distances.
@@9MilRidgeWas Dickens a hero? I don't know all the details but how did he decide it was a threat? What was he from the suspect? 40 or 50 yards? Defensive firearm shooting? Was he the target of the gunman or did he have the option of retreat to safety and let cops do their job. That was sketchy to think he had to take a hail Mary shot in a mall in my thinking. But again, I don't know the details. I wouldn't call it defense. Call it heroics maybe.I have doubts about whether he had a legit reason to get involved at a distance like that.
Constructive criticism: Either take your gloves off when you're showing the gun, or wear gloves that are a different color than the gun. A black gun held by black gloved hands does not show up well on video.

but you can literally get larger better cartridges that are just as small as that .22 and also fit in your pocket so why go with the squirrel shooter?
They will if they're high on bath salts. But then again, they'll scoff at an RPG too. Ha!
Billy Crystal did. 😂
Neat little revolver. 22’s are always the most fun to shoot. If I could only own 1 gun it would be a 22!
I love the .22 I shot them when I was a kid. .22 is enough for a get-away gun and self defence.

Most times just presenting a firearm ends a situation. No one's asking what caliber is that?
2:14 I noticed your eighth shot didn't go off. Was that a bad bullet?
Ask the Mossad how much of a mouse gun it is. Nice thing about a revolver, it doesn’t leave any spent cases lying around.
The Mafia also used 22lr alot. No casings, less noise. Still lethal.

While I enjoy 2 centerfire LCR's the trigger pull on rimfire revolvers is 12+ pounds. Not for me.

Mine has been flawless through 500 rounds off mixed ammo. Would NEVER carry a semi auto22.

No it does not have a safety but is very safe with the double action trigger pull that is almost 9lbs.
