by Greg Ellifritz

The .22 Magnum for Self-Defense

by Richard Mann

3:00pm Thursday, October 15, 2015

A practical personal protection plan should include a handgun, but that handgun should, without question, be one you’re comfortable with. As you become more experienced you’ll have the opportunity to further evaluate the situation and trade-up as your comfort and skill levels increase.
