multiple rounds do the job.....i know something that can make them take a step back like at least a 9mm or 38 would be nice. if it came down to stopping someone there are other guns in my house..... i will post them....they arent mine though. just the P22. but i get what your sayin man and i agree. im just saying it could do the job, but right, my chances arent much slimmer. i hope i dont have to use it that way anyways, but if i did get into a break in or soemthing...i would def grab a weapon of greater power.
