.22lr underrated caliber due to availability

[Pandora]

I am going to the range soon. I went to grab some ammo at Walmart and they were out of 9mm and .380. They had plenty of shotgun ammo and .22lr. If a nationwide crises happens I believe that 9mm will go first. It will probably be the most difficult caliber to find because federal agencies use it. I just got a .380 for my potential EDC but I am rethinking this decision. I think I will just get proficient with .22lr.

Hi Pandora,
Take your point about .22LR,but having seen what happens to a Hog shot at 70 Yards with a 12 guage Solid Ball,I would have chosen differently.

Pop anyone with enough rounds of any caliber, and they will reconsider attacking you.

Ok interesting. I have shunned away from practicing with shotguns because I am afraid of the recoil ( i havr fired them a couple times before). I should probably start practicing with them again. I have heard good things about them.

Maybe I wont use 12 gauge at first. Maybe I can start with .410 guage.

Yes exactly. With .22lr I can put many rounds on target very quickly.

Hey Pandora,
Well to overcome your ambivalence,why not buy an over and under Derringer .22 LR on top and .410 under?

Hi Pandora,
And then again"Bella Twin was a calm, quiet, clear-headed Cree Grandmother walking her trap line. May 10, 1957, killed a massive grizzly bear with her Cooey Ace #1 . 22,An old single shot tied together with fencing wire.That was near Slave Lake, Alberta, and the bear Twin killed turned out to be a world record that stood for a good long time".

Get a chote.

P.s.
.22, .45, 12ga 00 04 08, and .308 all you’ll ever need…

.45 fmj and 00 buck will drop a Kodiak.
