Light weight and powerful. I started off with a .9mm Beretta; I loved it but it was heavy and the recoil at times was a bit much.

I also had a .22mm which I kept in my car but my pops made a very good point that a .22 is not stopping a grown ass man if he really wanted to hurt me. It may slow someone down but with adrenaline you would have to be either a sharp shooter or be able to shoot them multiple times to bring them down.
