CCI is marketing this stuff as a potential carry and defense ammo.
Not for me.

Check out the 22lr Punch round. I was surprised at the penetration it has from a short barrel 22lr pistol. I think it was kind of marketed as SD 22lr ammo.Interesting. While I personally, would like a more "robust" round for personal protection...if you had to use a 22...this sounds like a valid option
31 grains is going to shed that energy very fast, especially if it hits any bone. Over penetration will not be a concern.I don't really know what I'm talking about in general, but would you be worried overpenetration with that 1550 fps ammo? The 950 fps jhp seems like it would fill a niche, but the hyper velocity stuff seems like it's asking for trouble. Any truth to that, or am I talking out my ass?
.22 lr has a tendency to lose velocity fairly quickly, especially if it strikes a hard object such as a bone. Any ammo can 'over-penetrate' if it strikes a thinner part of the body, such as an arm, etc., but, if you're passing through multiple layers of clothing (obstructions) and into center-mass, over-penetration is not something I would be overly concerned about.I don't really know what I'm talking about in general, but would you be worried overpenetration with that 1550 fps ammo?
