no doubt it has been used a fair # of times, but its a very poor choice imo for a bunch of different reasons.

#1 its a very underpowered round, and it may not even penetrate the skull, just ask john veasy. the problem is only amplified when the even weaker subsonic .22lr ammo is used with a suppressor.

#2 rimfire ammo can be very unreliable, especially in semi-auto pistols, and having a gun jam during a hit is never a good thing.


Yeah, I see your points. 38 would be the most reliable. I think there's .22 ammo though with higher FPS. Think I saw something like that on Youtube.
