Agree on all points ...... when sheep dipped to alphabet agencies overseas we used beretta 70S or 71’s in 22 for PDW’s. Brick of mini mags and 5 spare mags and we (6 man team) could hold the floor of a hotel until the cavalry got there..... A .22 is a viable defense round. I’ve seen me use it....:O)

Here in Merica .... IMHO an adult should own a .22 Rifle, a 30 caliber bolt gun with a GOOD scope, a 12 gauge Shotgun and a Revolver at the very minimum.

I agree.

That's why I've always been intrigued by the 5.7x28mm.

Seems like they set out to reimagine the .22lr with all the self defense issues ironed out.

Centerfire .22 cartridge, jacketed bullet, light weight, high capacity, high velocity.

The only problems I see are the high price tag for the weapons, and black hole you find when trying to find reports of real-world performance.
