Recommendations for backup CHL 22 pistol ....

[Member 53328]

I think he's talking about backup not increasing capacity via 2nd gun. Fe if first gun is disabled/lost/whatever. A snubby revolver in ankle holster Fe means you can fire with muzzle contacting opponent such as if grappling with opponent. It's a second option that may never be used. Clint Smith carries a snub revolver for that Fe:

I love Clint Smith! But I think I'll stick with my G45 and an extra mag along with a fixed blade which will work just as well if we're that close and personal.

Dammit, I may have to pick up a tiny NAA 22 just for the novelty of it!

That seems like it might be a pocket hazard.

Be careful playing pocket pool.

They get a LOT of hate and laughter but, they are still cranking them out. MANY have tried to get me to part with mine so if you buy one and do not like it? Should be easy to re home it. Damn little things are some VERY well done work.

I've never fired one if those naa revolvers. Can you fire them one-handed? I generally see them fired two-handed with the off-hand thumbing the hammer.

Old line from long ago. It is of course a waste but, I have done this all my life. The chances I will ever need to use a gun in defense again are really out there. Chance that the one I have would fail? We are getting into hit by lightning odds now. Why do I still carry two? Don't really know, I guess it just makes me feel better? So even though I know many laugh at it I still do it. Will probably go to grave never needing it but, figure what the hell. If I ever do need it I can be happy?

A guy that used to work with me and who was a cop would say "New York reload" when the stapler was empty and he had to grab another one!!!

Yes, mine is as small as they get and its still very easy to fire one handed. Follow up shots are of course VERY slow as it rolls in your hand and its just so damn tiny anyway. I have always figured if I "needed it" I would want to be so close I could touch the other person and aim for the face.

One hand shooting of the stock , 22lr with small birds head grips would leave the barrel pointing to about 10 o'clock after recoil. In my experience.

Seems pretty fiddly.

Lol.
I just remembered. The gun has got me TWICE with ricochets. I bounced .22 short or CB long off a piece of plywood in the garage. Once in the leg and once straight back to the knuckle of my trigger finger. The finger swole up for a couple days.

I've a had enough failures with rimfire ammo to never trust it for SD. If I was looking for a mouse gun I'd look at a Seecamp .32

Exactly.

At minimum, a .25 mouse gun over a .22 mouse gun.

J frame 22 snub or Ruger LCR 22 with Stingers would be my choice for reliable. Problem with the micro semiautos is the lube gets dried up in your pocket and lint collects. Bad juju for proper functioning. Besides, a revolver can DA from your coat pocket. No way with a SA are u getting more than one off.

Agree, a beretta 950 25acp with glasers was my deep conceal piece when I worked places you could not get caught doing so.

to about 5 meters.

What are we, Canadian? Take off eh!

Why were you shooting in your garage

Mid twenties is a dumb age.

And I was the king of dumb back then.

Look at the way he was flinching before he even touched off a round
