<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 86073, member: 54"]Maybe u don't need this advice but if u r going to depend on it, take it somewhere where you can shoot a few dozen rounds to check that it operates correctly and that u can hit something with it. With a .22 you have to hit a vital area for it to be effective at all. I tell everyone to test fire their guns after carrying a .380 semi-auto pistol for a while before firing it. I had 90 grain bullets loaded. When I test-fired it, the cartridges with the 90 grain bullets would not operate the gun so it would only fire one shot and you had to rack the slide to reload. 115 grain bullets fixed that issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
