.22 or .25 - Please advise

I thought the assassination caliber of choice for the Mossad was the .22 lr.

Of course. But like you said, a shot to the face, does stop an attacker. You can shoot someone 15 times with a 9m and if you dont hit vitals, they can still do their violent actions. Shot placement is everything, like I said. Sure a bigger caliber is better but .22s and .25s can stop a threat if the shot placement is good.

.... and a lot of luck doesn't hurt either.
Compared to rifles pretty much all pistol rounds suck but that's the price we have to pay for portability.

you got it sir! Then again, my sister took 7 shots from a 7.62x39. Just depends on the person and their will to survive. My sister, did. But I had a friend that got shot one time with a 9mm in the stomach. He died.

Aww, cmon. It ain't like Soveit is shooting them. He just ducks faster.

Lol. Exactly. I want to hang out with someone slower than me. Remember, you don't have to outrun the bear, just the guy next to you.

I'm just curious as to why the .22 or .25, when they make .380's and 9's of about the same size? I personally love a BT380, and yes there are larger calibers in the same size pistol, but I would NEVER go smaller than that.

Either will work if you are dealing with a small firearm period.I have been shot with the .25 in the leg and can say that it will surely slow a man down in a footrace.Really was surprised with the whop of just 40 -50 pounds of knockdown.Felt like a softball offa pro bat
