.22 Long Rifle v .25 ACP

Mr Harrel is at it again.

 

I've long maintained they are almost identical in terminal performance, but .25 is more reliable.

    My caveat:
    I am an expert on nothing.

    I've had my CC for 5 years now and the first year I carried a S&W Compact 22 and felt confident that I would be able to deal with any threat. I love 22 lrs
    In the last 7 years, I've shot close to 10,000 rounds with my compact 22 and M9 22.
    As far as reliability, I probably had a handful of FTF and when I rechambered them, all but maybe 10 didn't fire.
    Paul did a great demonstration of 22 reliability firing 1000's of rounds with almost no failures.
    I have a Beretta Jetfire .25 and if it weren't for the family history of that gun, wouldn't have it. Mostly worthless and it actually hurts my hand to shoot it. Definity a point blank gun, last chance.
    My great uncle bought the gun in the 1950's. Some "dudes" broke into his apartment, tied him and his mother up and stole everything. It was two days before anyone found them and untied them. Uncle Frank went out, bought the gun and said "Those niggers will never do that a gain." Milwaukee Germans didn't get along to well with "them".
    I hate any of these test with "pocket guns". Yes, anyone can have any gun they want but there is a magnitude of difference between the compact 22 and the Beretta 21. Same difference between the LCR 380 and my S&W 380 EZ.
    But anywho.......
