Good thought, but neither one of those is concealable?
I'll never argue with the value of a good shotgun.

..22 is not a viable self-defense weapon.
There is a reason that state law makes you qualify with at least a .38
iirc?

A .380 might be okay too. I'd have to re-check. ('course we are talking
about Texas law and they vary from state to state quite a bit).

I used a 9mm.

9mm ammo is really not that bad in price. Neither is .40 since law
enforcement uses that a lot. Supply and demand keep the price down.

Only drawback is that if you are only used to a .22 pistol, you'd have
to get used to the heavier recoil of the larger calibers to gain any
accuracy.

I did recently purchase a 9 shot .22 revolver tho' to cut my target
practice costs. They ARE valuable for grip and trigger control practice.
I got a very good deal on it. SA/DA trigger, rear loader. The cylinder
loads from the back like a cowboy action revolver:
