Why i think the Ruger 10/22 Carbine is the best weapon for Self Defense

[.270]

Welcome!
How did I miss this?
I don't have a 10/22. Is a .308 or 30-06 better for a do it all self defense weapon?

Welcome. In response. If it doesn't have the words "Pink Mist" engraved on the side, it doesn't count as a PDW.

Why am I getting that "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" vibe?. Nothing to see here, just a guy who REALLY likes 10/22's. BTW - 20 round mags are for manbuns. Real men get the 110 round drum. Pew, Pew, Baby
I remember when you could get a brick of 22 LR for $5.50

If you meant, defending your house from squirrels then I totally agree!

Is There Another 'You' Out There In A Parallel Universe?

If physics conspires just right, there might be an infinite number of parallel Universes out there. But we need some help.

Google "tricked out 10/22". Lots of pew pew there.

Kind of like a lowered rice rocket sedan parked at a trail head.

It means for certain, that in some universe there exists an exact copy of you, except that you cringes at the recoil from a 6.5manbun.

Still not sure what it means as it applies to this thread. Sounds like a lot of members are sheltering in place. mtmuley

number (1) they are made in the USA , number (2) it comes with a 10 round magazine , you can buy more with even some with 25 round mags , if you have more than one you can reload fast , number 3 no recoil so you are able to focus on your target and not worry about a shotgun beating you up in the process ,(4) ammo is cheap and you can stockpile , (5) the parts are easy to buy and you can fix it yourself plus the parts are cheap , shotguns are hard to find parts online i have searched for replacement parts for stevens 301 shotguns and ati nomad shotguns no parts can be found so with that being said i will choose to have a ruger 10/22 over a shotgun . also if you want to use a 10/22 ruger for self defense or any other 22lr i suggest you using cci-velocitor they are the best rounds with no jamming and they are clean burning shots , now back to the shotguns i love shotguns the single barrels but since you can't buy replacement parts to stock up they are useless because if the shit hits the fan and your shotgun breaks and your back up break over time and there is no one out there to fix it then you are screwed and you will not have a gun to protect you and your family , so with that being said i think you should think long term when buying a gun for home defense and survival , do your homework before buying a gun if you can't find extra parts for that new gun then don't buy it , only buy a gun that sells the parts you will need for the future .

Anyone who is worried about recoil in a life/death situation probably should NOT be trusted with a weapon that shots anything but water.

Does it count if it doesn't start with proper capitalization?
