I agree with almost all of this . Gonna nitpick about one thing , though . 3 . Suppressibility . . 22 LR is a sub sonic round . Some are , but others are merely relatively quiet . The speed of sound is depending on conditions usually a bit over 1100 fps . Of my four batches of 22 LR ammo , two hunting types exceed 1400 fps , one target type doesn ' t specify but is probably around 1150 fps , and the fourth Aguila Sniper SubSonic is 901 fps . The ~ 1150 target ammo might be subsonic , depending on your elevation , relative humidity , and temperature , but the hunting rounds aren ' t , and to my great disappointment the Aguila SSS doesn ' t hold enough powder to cycle my 1022 ' s action . This is a good thing for . 22 owners to think about , though . Higher velocity rounds will usually hit harder , but they are going to be louder . Also , A 1022 with a folding stock can be hid under a baggy hoodie with no issue , easily manipulated in vehicles , and you can carry probably 7 or 8 25 rounds mags in your jean pockets . Obviously pistols are even more concealable , but though you won ' t have the overall range , you ' ll retain accuracy much further out with a 1022 than you will with most pistols . This .
