The Motley Fool is a business-focused website so this is a business-angled article. Looks like affordable wins the race.

.22wmr, whoda thort it.

A record number of gun sales. Wow the media should be so proud of its self.

The four months that the Taurus PT111 topped the list no doubt corresponds with the price drop and rebate at the end of last year.

I didn't know only S&W http://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ% ... n2iQLZgr9A and
Ruger http://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE%3A ... iALMl6TABg

Yep. At one point they sold here for $179 after rebate. About hipoint pricing.

Maybe that's why 22 WMR ammo is so difficult to find. Haven't seen any on the shelves in months.

Looks like a good pistol for marksmanship fundamentals training and for those starting out. Probably much more fun to shoot than the other small frame CCWs with full power ammo.

CCW pieces topping this list! Except that keltec though, which is very surprising. Well this is a gunbroker list, so I wonder if there's a list for all sales, not just on gunbroker.

What is the general consensus on .22 WMR as a defensive round? 30 rounds of it notwithstanding...

.22WMR is no joke. It's got a muzzle flash like a .357 and is loud as hell. That and penetration/expansion is pretty much half of what you'd get in a 9mm.

Is it fun? Hell yes. But definitely not my cuppa for defending property and person.

I used to hunt rabbits with 22WMR. It's a nasty little round.

It's better than firm language.
