Ok, before I ask my question let me point out that I realize that .22 LR is a lousy personal defense round. That being said, I read somewhere that shooting .22 LR HP ammo out of a handgun will not result in bullet expansion in aqueous tissue (flesh) because the bullet is traveling to slowing to cause deformation of the hollow point cone. This is because most .22 LR ammo is designed to be fired out of a rifle with a barrel that is about 4-5 times longer than a handgun barrel. Is there any .22 LR HP ammo out there that is designed to deform consistently when fired from a handgun?
