a .22 long rifle has been known to go though 6 inches of soft pine at close range. but when it comes to dencer materials penitration becomes an issue.
a pocket wallet can stop a .22 just as a direct hit to a rib will also stop a .22 cliber.
most of the women in my area use .25s to .38s for personal protection. I am sure your model comes in a 25 or 38 claiber.
Your right about being close range, your not shooting at a target any further than 25 feet max. 50 feet would be concidered long range for that short barroled gun.
most of my targets are 50 to 75 feet. so a scope isnt something I am intrested in at the moment, but ya never know, I might change my mind once I put my hands on one...
do you hunt with a hand gun?
