I also have a .22 pistol, with a 4.5" barrel.  I love mine.  I often
carry it in a thigh holster.  I'm 'dead on'-meaning I can put it in a 4"
circle- at about 50 feet, but my barrel is shorter. ;)

People say .22's don't have any stopping power.  I understand the
argument but a well placed round to the groin would have pretty good
stopping power, I think.
Just this week an 8 year old shot his father and another man with a .22
rifle.  Sad story.  Apparently the father had given him the gun and
taught him to shoot it.

We also need a shotgun...
We got a 308 last year.  Officially it belongs to the kid, but he won't
be using it until 2013.
