Taurus PT22 as a backup?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Taurus PT22 as a backup?

Posted: 10/14/2001 5:45:19 PM EDT

I saw one at a 'tupperware party for criminals' yesterday for about $20-30 more than some Jennings and Phoenix POS's. I went ahead and got it. I chose .22 since I have a shiite load of .22 for my AR7 and don't want to keep up with another caliber. What do y'all think of it as a backup in the back pocket, or in a boot, etc? I figure I can trust a Taurus as opposed to some other brands of .22 autos. It shoots 22LR and I loaded with hollow points.

You need to pour some ammo through it to make sure of function and whichever load you choose for defensive purposes verify it's function as well. I would rather be armed with a .22 than not armed at all. .22's can be quite lethal because they have a nasty habit of bouncing around inside of their target.

I do beleive more game animals ahve been taken with a .22 than any other round.

Also, 2000 Mossad agents can't be wrong, can they?
