ressurecting the 9mm vs. .45acp debate one more time

[kgbsquirrel]

Just to chime in for the sake of chiming in...

Have a SIG Mosquito and a Tula TOZ 78. The latter is a bolt action but I've verified that both will eat anything I put through them. I've often pondered which is really the more versatile round: .22LR or 12 gauge. My conclusion is every home should have both.

That said, I've always thought if you're going to go mouse gun, why not the 22WMR instead?

The only advantage the .22Mag (& the .25 ACP) has over .22lr in a mousegun is that the mags had better bullet construction. After the Velocitor was developed, that advantage went away. In a rifle, it's a different story....if Ruger made 25rd mags for the 10/22 Magnum, I'd recommend it instead.

Ruger does now make 25rd mags for the 10/22.  I bought one not too long ago.  Surprised me too.

For the .22lr, yes.....but not for the .22Mag....
