True about rimfires. Too bad the don't chamber it in .25 acp. More reliable and essentially ballistically the same.

No issues with removing cases as you have to remove the cylinder and poke them out anyway. As to head space take a tip from S&W circa 1917 and put in a ledge in the chambers.
A .25 will bounce off a good leather jacket.

As I understand, from You Tube testing.......There is not enough barrel length for the 22 Mag to get up to speed. So 22 LR would be choice.

If you look at the advertised physical dimensions, I think I would rather go with a
Sig P365, which is a tad shorter, front to back, and a quarter inch taller, if you go
with the 12 round magazine. Not to mention +P 9mm. :eek:
I notice you didn't mention the weight. The Sig weighs exactly twice what the revolver weighs. 17.8 ounces vs 8.9 ounces

Would you want to shoot a 9mm that only weighed 9oz.?
Not me.

P.S. I have a Bond Arms derringer, right at the same size, that weighs 20.5oz.
No, I wouldn't care to shoot a 9 oz 9mm. But most things in life are a tradeoff. To me, weight is kinda important. I personally carry a glock 43 everytime I drive away from home on my side. As you probably do your Sig 365. And I am aware your Sig holds 12 rounds and my Glock 43's only 7 rounds. I prefer the Glock just because it feels better in my hand.. But when home in my comfortable shorts with no belt messing around in the yard or out back in the garage or going to check the mail I like a very light gun to slide in my pocket or around my neck. The lightest one I have weighs only 4 ounces. By the way, I also have a Bond arm 45-410. I like it but it is heavy and bulky.
