Decided (with help here) to get a snub for the outstanding job it does in the "not-a-gun" role.
Wondering about caliber though: If you were going to standardize on .22 or 9mm, which do you think has the most utility?
In the .22s favor:
- trainer
- kit gun
- (less than ideal) SD gun, at least according to Ellifritz and "Henry, The Old Man from Tennessee” and Chris Baker
- higher capacity
- cheaper to feed
9mm
- Accepted/legit SD round
- And…?
9mm snubs sound like they are handful, unless you go with something heavier like an SP101, which starts to drift away (in size and weight) from the “not a gun” mission.
Thoughts? What else should I take into consideration?
