About time the ammo companies have made .22WMR ammo optimized for pistols....the .22WMR pistols have only been around for half a century or so....  ::)

I'll be watching developments closely....  8)

Hornady has also released .22 magnum in their Critical Defense line.  The ad I saw says the bullet is 45 gr, with controlled expansion technology.  I'm a new owner of an NAA Mini Revolver, NOT my SD sidearm, but as a friend calls it, my "taking out the trash" gun.  

Now I just have to find some.
