    I have not looked at pressures for .22 magnum yet but i shot my North American Arms .22/.22Magnum Black widow yesterday evening, the concussion from it was pretty crazy,i was not expecting that kind of pressure, the recoil was minimal too. I have a 6 shot H&R revolver that shoots LR and Magnums too. havent tried it on magnums yet but will here in the future since it has peaked my interest.

    ... Everyone is entitled to my opinion!

    I haven't been able to sahoot a pistol in years due to advancecd diabetic neuropathy (unable to feel much in my hands). For home defense, I do have a Mossberg 500 20-gauge pump "youth" (smaller length) shotgun for home
    defense.

    Everyone recognizes that sound of a shotgun being loaded. <G>

    I can deal with the recoil and I don't really have to aim until I get sown
    to the two slug shells I have in it. It holds 7 shells. I have the first three as rock salt, two with 00 buckshot, and the last two are slugs.

    I live in a nice neighborhood but my apartment complex is full of drug
    dealers. I am unable to move at this time so I keep myself protected.

    That should be plenty enough to make anyone sorry they broke in. Being
    smaller in length is a plus, IMHO, in an enclosed area like a home.
