A .22 sure wouldn’t be my first choice for defense. How about a Ruger Charger .22 Semi-Auto pistol? Basically it’s a handgun version of a Ruger .22. It uses the same mags as a 10/22, which means you can also use high-cap mags with it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> It looks like a very fun toy.
