Just like my .25 auto I have always figured that a .22 should be used at pretty much point blank range and multiple rounds fired into the target.

I'll stick with the 9mm Lunger.

I get creeped out watching those full body gel targets get shot.

Not as bad as going from a full bodied human to an instant pink mist with maybe only a smoking boot left….

Rakeman being probably scared of rakes is pretty creepy.
Sideshow Bob joke.

Step on a rake once you won't do it again...

Don't you believe in second chances? After all a lot can happen, say..… if you're walking backwards, for instance.

Is the .22LR ideal for self defense...nope.

For me it's more the reliability of the cartridge itself , than anything else.
Its one thing to have a jam or a failure to feed , extract or eject while out on the range or plinking...
Its something else to have that happen when you actually need to shoot.

All that said...
A .22LR revolver or manual action rifle may cut down on the above listed issues....as well as stocking up on the ammo that does work in whatever .22 you have.
As well as not curling up and waiting to die , just 'cause all you have to defend yourself is a .22 firearm...and some dope on the internet says it don't work well for self defense.....

A suppressed 22LR for the SHTF apocalypse? Sure. Makes sense. Got to stay quiet when killing zombies so the other zombies can't hear and come running ... staggering? ... lurching? ... whatever.

Ahhhh .... Garand Thumb. My go to guy for all things holy about firearms facts. I mean ... who could doubt that little cherub face.

Cheers.

Got to love the 22. Loved by some. Hated by some. Still don't want to be shot by it!

I've probably shot over 5,000 Mini Mags in my lifetime with zero failures. They cost a little more, but they run great and have very consistent velocity.

I do understand - I have some Winchester "Match" in white boxes that fail close to 1 in 20. I use them for plinking.

Man can't stand that Winchester white box garbage. Filthy and unreliable.

In my defense, I bought a case of it - fully aware of how awful it is - at something like 3.6 cents per round several years ago. I don't bring it to the range when I have guests. Or if I want to focus on good groups. So I still have some of it left.

Second verse, same as the first...

Big Mini-Mag fan here too. i have tried about every kind of .22lr and as far as reliability I've had the best results with the Mini-Mag's. Around 3 months ago I found 3500 rounds of Miin-Mag's in the bottom of one of my safes I'd forgotten all about. They have to be at least 20 years old.

I know these are at least that old as the price on the 500 round bricks are $9.99. So far I've shot 1000 of them and not a single shell had a failure to fire. They cycle very well in all my auto pistol and rifles. I'll buy other brands when on sale but alway make sure I have a good stash of the Mini-Mags.

Now when I see them for $8 or less a hundred I'll usually get a few more. Just got a deal of $365 for 5k free shipping. Get them while I can.

Alway fun, even more so suppressed. Even more so with binary trigger.

Skip to 0:54 mark to see 15-22 shooting with binary (you'll want to skip earlier bs/waste of time imo).

From 22 to 500 S&W. Do not watch at the 7:28 mark if you are squeamish (back of the head shot). Hoooooly Mooooooooly (I would be surprised if this video doesn't get banned).
