Is that .22LR??
I have both cylinders. 22lr & 22mag
Just to be 'that guy'.
I guess it's better than nothing ... when the guy on meth is sitting on top of you then put the barrel in his ear, cock the hammer and pull the trigger... it'll do the job.

I'm sure you are pretty much right but I do have a few alternate carrys.

Well, if the guy on meth is sitting on top of you , you might ask yourself how that happened in the first place? but ,none the less, more people have been dispatched with a .22lr than people realize. This is definitely, a "get off me" firearm. But a .22lr in the right place will ruin anyone's day, and it beats a sharp stick and a rock every day! I own two NA's one is in .22lr and the other is a Convertible with two cylinders. I use them when it is not possible to conceal anything else. Since my main plan is to run like heck from danger anytime I can, I am not concerned with stopping power, 100 yd shots, saving the world etc. If he grabs me, he will be surprised and in the OR or Morgue faster than he can blink an eye. I carry mine in a pocket holster with my hand on it. I do not have time for the Gunsite 4 point draw from concealment. I will shoot right through the pocket first (surprise!) and then do what is necessary to finish the encounter, with remining rounds, which may include retreating to safety. Like Wyatt Earp said, "the best gunfight is the one you do not show up for"!

I remember reading somewhere that these small revolvers are a two handed gun. You hold the bad guy with one hand and shoot him with the other! : )

ONLY way they will work! ;-)
I've seen the entrance and exit holes a 2" barreled.22 lr make on a human torso. I do not recommend trying it out. You may well be dead before medical help arrives.
That's why I always carry my NAA Mini regardless of what else i have.

Agree, many people do not realize how many "humans" have succumbed to the .22lr. The mouse that roared! I read several Medical studies on what a .22lr can do to a human being. Apparently it is very unpredictable in that it can turn abruptly, travel amazing distances(inches) inside someone, bounce off bones to cause further tissue damage etc. All the reports concluded that death from a GSW with a .22lr may not be instantaneous in all cases but it is definitely on the way!

I suggest you familiarize yourself with the anatomy of the human head, so you can hit something vital. It is surprisingly easy to miss the brain.

Lots of adrenalin, lack of training, all sorts of shtf stuff!
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.

If they loaded a decent (soft lead HP?) in a 25 acp, that might be an idea!
