spend the money on shooting or martial arts classes if you need two guns and that many rounds.

seriously tho', why would you use multiple calibers? or ever even need to? sounds like, pardon the pun, overkill.

If you're thinking small 22 as a back up to one of the others you mention look at the Sidewinder from North American Arms. Just dont have a stroke when you see the price tag.........Maybe just go with a regular one. I've been just going with a Kimber micr 9 as back up lately but I can hide it with my clothing choice, but that's me. I dont always carry a back up just depends on where I am going and for how long or if I am traveling alone.

NAA Pug in 22WMR, it'll ruin ANYONE's day from bad-breath range to about 5 meters.

LCP II .22LR Barely larger than the NAA revolver above and holds 10+1. Mine had no issues with any .22 LR I tried, was probably the most reliable .22LR pistol I've owned. I'd personally prefer at minimum a .380, the LCP Plus isn't much larger than the .22 LCP either are easily pocket carried.

If you're set on a tiny .22 semiauto, I wouldn't.
I'd think about a .22 revolver (not tiny save for the NAA) or a .25 acp that is.

I'll second LCP II. Very nice shooter. Mine cycles CCI standard velocity without issue. CCI std.vel. has never had a dud, for me.

My wife's KelTec p32 with an extended magazine ends up being my back up pistol by default after about a half a day of her carrying it IWB.

NAA 22LR or 22 mag with the folding grip
22/22mag Life card
22 cobra derringer (rough quality)
Ruger LCP 22lr

Tough call, are you going to train with the gun or just shoot it to see if it works?

I had a NAA 22 for years & while it always fired & was a marvel of design, engineering & fabrication, it just never got comfortable. I considered it more of a potential liability than an actual defensive asset.

The NAA revolver has proven its deterrence

How deep? I have a NAA 5 shot .22 with a 1-5/8th tube. Bought it LONG ago before Kel-Tec came along with their .32. Had tried a LOT of guns for pocket carry. All of them felt like I had a rock in my damn pocket. The only reason I have never sold it is the damn thing is still amazing to me. VERY well made. VERY hard to hit anything with unless it is almost close enough for me to touch it. I have a few times used it still when I was going someplace I really would have a hard time carrying a gun. That I can always have. Figured if needed beats nothing. Second choice would be a Ruger LCPII. Have one in .380 that is an always pocket pistol. Wife can NOT shoot it. Too much for her. Years ago they started offering it in .22 and she LOVES it. VERY thin and LITE but they work. I can actually hit stuff with it at reasonable distance.

Hard No.
I have one and absolutely Love it! One of my most favorite guns! I REALLY like it.
Love Stingers too!
However.....just one misfire/no fire, even just a failure to eject...completly shut down
If there were an extractor and a slim grip option the search would be over.

Maybe with some extensive range time I could trust one of these.

Neither works? Bad reviews?
