Just a reminder that the biggest hit on any kind of rimfire for defensive use is that its less reliable than centerfire.
So if you are going to use rimfire for defense, the ONLY acceptable platform is the double action revolver.
That is because if you get a misfire, the fastest, most instinctive reaction, to squeeze the trigger again, is the correct remediation effort.
With a semi-auto or single action revolver squeezing it again does nothing and costs time. With a DA revolver the second squeeze swings the bad round out from under the hammer and brings a new round into play.
For what its worth, people have done ballistic gelatin tests on CCI Velocitor in .22 LR and its pretty impressive. Check YouTube.
