Not sure if you’d be interested but I have met several people that own the cheap Jimenez Arms JA-22 pistols and they were very happy with them as long as they shot premium high velocity ammo. Think CCI Stinger or Velocitor.

My wife plinks with a Taurus tip up barrel pistol.  Quality ammo is the big key of any auto loader to work properly. 

We only shoot CCI ammo in all the .22's we own .

Yes Ruger does make their LCP in a 22 rimfire now, see LawMan Mark's link above.
Been threatening to get one.

The Taurus tip up .22 is a copy of the Beretta.  Don't remember the Beretta model but I have one.  Works great.

 

Beretta Bobcat. They still make them.

Are you stuck on .22 caliber, or are you considering others??

Howdy Cat,

I never know how to answer questions like yours.

Yes I have heard that bullets come in several sizes.

I get bombarded with ruger emails and still until today

did NOT know the lcp was brought out in .22 rf on Dec 30 2019.

The reason I asked, is because to me, the reason to have a very small pistol is for ease of carry and ease of concealment.....both for self protection.  
 

So, I don’t believe  that .22LR is best for self protection.  AND, I know that very small, very good semi-auto pistols are available in larger calibers, such as my surprisingly small original Colt Mustang, caliber .380acp....a heavy hitter. 

 

I don’t know if this one is still being made, but look around....it’s practically invisible, and guns like it be equally concealable.  Let’s face it and not fool ourselves; none of these weapons are made for target shooting.  .22LR ain’t good enough to properly protect you.

Howdy,

.22 bounces around, tears open arteries, Lots of things.

Maybe I just want something more packable than 1911.

I did just have all the springs replaced.

My wife's Browning 1911 is small and light, thinner than a Colt Mustang but longer.  I have never had a problem with any ammo that I feed it. I "borrow" it every time I go to the range because it is just a blast to shoot. I can't even see the sights but I almost never miss with it. The grand kids really like it too.

Here’s the Colt Mustang .380acp.  (5 or 6?)-round magazine) Use the bullets in the picture to get a perspective of the size of the pistol.  There are many small semi-autos similar to this out there.  This Colt is very high quality (also comes blued).   ......Cat Brules

Not like we can get one here Pat... :(  Seems like it would be fun.   

True. Oh well...guess I will have to buy other guns that makes the snowflakes wet their beds. :D

I’d go with that miniature Ruger, it sure is fun and easy to shoot.  Price is good also.  Another fun one is the S&W MP .22 Compact, but it is 3 times  larger than the lil Ruger.
