If someone is trying to hurt me, I am going to assume they may end up killing me and respond with something that will put them down permanently.

Even if he was trying to hurt you, you don't have to kill him.

You are statistically more likely to encounter this situation than facing off with a mass shooter, who's 5.56 is going to push your chit in.

Therefore, the .22 is the best for self defense, imo. Not the 9mm because it's too strong.

If you are defending your home though, 9mm is better since you are confined. Therefore you can't take any chances with the perp living after being shot for they still have the ability to push after you and overpower you(in a confined space).

MAIN POINT OF SELLING RUGER FIVE SEVEN PISTOL IS COMPARATIVELY REASONABLE PRICE OF WEAPON.

RUGER FIVE SEVEN IS WEAPON OF MAN WHO WEARS WRANGLER JEANS OF WALMART, DRIVE SENSIBLE 4 DOOR OF TOYOTA, SAIL ON USED JET SKI TO NEARBY LAKE. I THINK YOU GET PICTURE. RUGER FIVE SEVEN IS WEAPON THAT SAYS EXPENDABLE INCOME IS OF EXISTENCE, BUT BUDGET IS STILL CONCERN.

FOR MAN WITHOUT JEANS, CAMRY, AND 1993 YAMAHA WAVERUNNER, RUGER FIVE SEVEN IS FOR PRETENDING OF BE RICH MAN WHO WEARS EXPENSIVE ITALIAN FASCIST SUIT OF HAND SEWING, DRIVE HUGE EXPENSIVE NAZI MERCEDES OF A.M.G. SHOP, SAIL ON MASSIVE YACHT TO GREEK ISLANDS. WHEN YOU EXPLAIN USE OF RUGER FIVE SEVEN PISTOL IS ONLY FOR SHOOT PAPER TARGET WITH SILHOUETTE OF MAN WITH CARTRIDGE NEW TO CIVILIAN, THIS MAN NOD IN AGREEMENT. WHOLE IDENTITY OF THIS MAN IS SPENT IN LIVING WITHIN HIS MEANS. PISTOL SHOWS HE IS AVERAGE. IS VERY MUNDANE.

FOR REST OF WORLD THERE IS 9 MILLIMETERS OF LUGER WHICH IS SAME WOUND FOR COST LESS BUT NOT AS NICHE OR ENTERTAINING.

And this post is perfect because my reps are now 57223, 5.7mm, .223

Agree with tunabrah srs


1 shot from a .22 is a great deterrent.

If they got a death wish and keep advancing a few more shots can kill them. Rather not kill somebody myself but .22 can do it. Im pretty sure .22 is responsible for most deaths because everybody underestimates it.

The 5.7 x 28 is pretty much useless. The only possible exception would be if you somehow knew that defeating body armor with your pistol was the #1 priority.

You also have to consider that the bullet is also scorching hot once it enter the angus.

If you are out in the open and the other person has a knife, you really shouldn't be even considering talking to that person but get away at a good distance. But I'm talking about when the other person isn't armed.

That's the point of this thread. It's meant to change the misconception. Its a good calibre if the person is not armed and you are outside.

I don't need to see people git shot in person to understand physiology. Stepping on a lego is enough to incapacitate most people, let alone a hole 2 inches inside that's scorching hot.

Can someone use a water gun filled with Maddog 357 liquid pepper extract (9 million Scoville units) as a home defense weapon? Or would that be considered illegal?

Video proved my theory - he dropped the knife due to pain lol. Watch the vid again, soyo. Also, not many people are going to be able to power through getting shot. I can show you another vid where someone gets shot on their shoulder and goes down immediately.

I have a dozen guns, and the smallest I'll go is .380 (M&P BG) just bc the compact size. While I don't WANT to kill anyone, if someone is threatening your life in any way, I'd rather be confident they're subdued than wonder if they're just faking bc it's a .22
