Best Pocket Carry .22lr Pistol

[FERLACH]

If I were going to bet my life on a .22, and I wont, I would get some Quik-Shox .22 ammo. The bullet segments into 3 fragments.

For back up, I carry a couple of North American Arms mini revolvers in 22 mag.
You can get them with both 22 mag and 22 long rifle cylinders.
I do a lot of shooting with the long rifle cylinder in them.
With the Hornady XTP 22 mag, you get the best MV that you will find in the 22 mag from a short barrel. That is what they make them for.

I carry one of these loaded with Winchester JHPs in a pocket holster. Very effective round and extremely easy to carry all the time.

I would suggest the North American Arms .22 mag revolver. You can easily conceal it in your pocket and it looks no different than a cell phone when you are looking. You can get them in snub nose and like 1" or 2" barrels. I personally own the snub nose. I love it. Packs quite a punch in such a small package. Don't let these people tell you not to carry a .22 because you dont want to trust your life to it. Any gun being carried is better than no gun at all. I find myself wanting to carry that small revolver because it takes no effort whatsoever, and you dont even feel it in your pocket. Plus since it is a revolver if you get a FTF you just shoot again. Hope this helps.

Beretta Model 21A "Bobcat", all the way. Bersa makes a similar pistol, but only a Beretta is a Beretta!

Ditto here! Love my Bobcat. Exclellent accurate .22 with CCI Mini Mags. Darn safe too without one in the pipe.

PT22PLY. Small, light, dependable, accurate. Being DAO, that's as safe as can be.

Plus one for the Beretta 21A. I had one , but my daughter appropriated it, and loves it. Accuracy at 7 yards is very good, and it functions well. If one can afford it, a 22LR Walther PPK/S is outstanding, and good ones can usually be found on Gunbroker.
