I'm sure this is not a surprise but my s&w 41 is as comfy and reliable as shooting an 'airgun' with my thumb and index finger. If there such a thing as a fat quad stacked maybe 52rd mag for it, that fit in the hollowed out fat grip, I might use it as a primary SD weapon; cause i think i could unload every round rapid fire into a bouncing golf ball at ten ft.   But I'd want the hicap mag to make up for the lack in stopping power.

It looks kind of similar in operation or style to the Ruger MK4 etc?  Would you agree?

Well, I've never held one but I just googled the gun to remind myself what it looks like and I guess...maaaybe similar in appearance.  I mean the 41s wooden grip is artwork and the square sharp angles on the slide n lower are quite different compared the to grip and round edges of the mk4. But I'm sure it shoots just as nicely!

Huh?  Never held one but you say the pistol is comfy and reliable?  A quad stacked magazine to fit in a hollowed out fat grip?  Dude, do you have any idea of what you're talking about?

Lol. Dude...You really got me cracking up

Oh....and...uhhh....before I said
'quad stacked magazine...."
I said 'if there were such a thing' ??
So that kinda explains the intentionally juvenile 'gun speak' that came afterwards?? Which was a cute way of saying the grip is large enough to fit four (quad) magazines in it side by side if it were hollowed it out a little.....??
OyYoiYOI!

Looks like it's just moving a portion of the slide back, and not a whole slide, which is where I think most .22lr pistols fail at.

The 41 is a simple blowback I think. Someone can correct me on this but I think its an unlocked breech blowback. Just the rear third of the upper assembly and its forward arms is what moves. Not the whole top 'slide' like the larger calibers which are locked breech recoil operated, I think.

Any gun is better than no gun.

Amen to that pal!

I use .22 easy to shoot for anyone. ..low recoil...easy follow up shots. I can prob shoot off 10rnds very accurate in short period.  .22 at close range can be lethal

The choice of mob hitmen everywhere. Lol!

If nothing else, I would think that reliability would be a more important factor than what the bullet can do or the noise. For me, I get more occasional issues with .22 caliber guns than with others, if any at all so I would definitely opt to have my Glock or pump shotgun handy and .22's as secondary if my loved ones or my life depended on it.

If it has to be .22 for HD, I would probably want a revolver handy first,  anything is better than nothing though!  If all I had was one of my .22's if something went down then ill be happy that I have it!

You are correct.

Reliability is the number one consideration in a home defense firearm.

Some of this aside... I would probably carry my walther P22.  That thing is so small!
