.22LR for pistol use

Don't worry Jay, I haven't lost my mind....
I still roll my eyes at a 9mm for a defensive weapon. I never even bothered to pursue qualification on one in the Army. Give me a SAW, M2, or the Bradley any day!! :-*
The XD .45ACP will be MY carry weapon. ;D

A bear? ???
Actually that's a legitimate question in the west. Obviously, anything short of a .50 cal Desert Eagle is only going to piss the bear off more. When I lived in Arizona, having a carry weapon when you were out in the bush was a necessity from critters, not folks. Lots of the old timers carried BIG revolvers, or a .45. My cousin always kept a .22LR loaded with bird shot in his pickup as well for rattlesnakes, if you can believe it. He shot more rattlesnakes than anything else. The harder thing to kill in a tussle than a bear is a javelina. Those things seem to be armor plated sometimes. They actually scare me more than a bear. Pigs are just so unpredictable.
How did this thread get here??
Jay:
Jim, Great idea. I think we should absolutely put up a link. I only have a bit here, but I will get one up on the links page tonight when I get a chance.
As for reinventing the wheel, yes I know this has been beaten to death, but what we have to remember is that there are new people, both young and old, that are discovering firearms, and all the questions that go with them, every day and they have not read all the same old threads that the oldtimers have. What's old news to some is a burning question for others. We just have to politely point them in the right direction.
That's where the bear thing came in, it was my attempt at a joke about something that I have seen a million times. ::)
It truly is hard having a board that will be interesting enough for seasoned shooters and at the same time helpful to newbies. I'm happy with our direction so far, just have to keep working on growing it.
Jay:
Come on 1hickey, some would say you have lost your mind for rolling your eyes at a 9mm! (Especially from someone who is currently carrying a .22! ;D)
HA!
Man, talk about a thread with no direction..... LOL
