    Between the 2 you have I say a .22
    yeah im looking at a 9mm only issue is if i have to use it for defense im less likely to kill a person with a smaller caliber

    Wrong, a .22 will not exit and will bounce off bones and around inside the body, causing more damage. A well placed shot is less likely to kill a person.

    Check these out, small frame gun and 9mm.

    If those are priced to high check these .380 out

    You get what you pay for, they are VERY cheap.

    Just IMO I wouldn't trust one as a carry gun, maybe a fun target gun, but that's about it.

    You should ask a mod to move this to the outdoor section for some good info

    Why would you shoot to injure?
    You never shoot anything unless you plan on destroying it. Period.
    .38 spl is the smallest I carry. fyi.

    Thats exactly right. Instead of the perp stopping his attack, you and your loved ones get raped and killed.

    anything smaller than 9mm is for a backup gun or target shooting. and anything below .38x doesn't belong in a self defense situation. Handguns are incredibly weak to begin with, and choosing the weakest of the weak is asking for serious trouble.
    "The 1911 is a collection of subsystems that must work together. Each part must be prepared and fit properly not only in and of itself, but also with regard to the other parts with which it must operate for the gun to function and appear as desired."
