Both calibers rank at the top of the most popular rounds in the United States, but excel in different aspects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 9mm is one of the most popular defensive rounds and tends to be the default caliber that new shooters use when picking out a gun for self defense. It is also largely used in different shooting sports like USPSA and IDPA. The 9mm is a centerfire handgun round, meaning that the round ignites when the gun\u2019s firing pin strikes the round\u2019s primer, located in the <\/span><b>center<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the round.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, the .22LR is a rimfire round widely used in both rifles and pistols. The .22LR\u2019s primer is located in the round\u2019s <strong>rim<\/strong>. This means that the gun\u2019s firing pin strikes the round\u2019s rim in order to ignite the round. Shooters opt for the .22LR for affordable plinking at the range, varmint hunting, and competitions like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rimfirechallenge.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rimfire Challenge<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Steel Challenge, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nrl22.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NRL22<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The caliber is often used to introduce new or young shooters to the shooting sports because of its extremely light recoil.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.22LR vs. 9mm: Size<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6444 size-full\" title=\".22lr vs. 9mm size \" src=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22lrvs9mmsize.jpg\" alt=\"showing the height differences between the .22lr vs. 9mm\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22lrvs9mmsize.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22lrvs9mmsize-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22lrvs9mmsize-1024x610.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22lrvs9mmsize-768x458.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22lrvs9mmsize-1536x915.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22lrvs9mmsize-200x119.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22lrvs9mmsize-750x447.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22lrvs9mmsize-1140x679.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 9mm and .22LR are easily distinguishable from one another due to their size differences. The 9mm is overall a bigger round. It is over 1.5 times larger than the diameter of the .22LR, and its overall length is taller as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/what-is-bullet-weight\/\">bullet weight<\/a>, measured in grains, to see the size difference between the two rounds.

The .22LR has much lighter recoil than the 9mm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The .22LR is often used to introduce new shooters to guns because it is so easy to shoot. Its recoil is incredibly soft, even in small, short-barreled pistols. This gives novice shooters an easy introduction to shooting, and many go on to shoot 9mm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While 9mm is certainly not the snappiest handgun caliber, its recoil is much more noticeable.

There is a wide selection of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/9mm-ammo.php\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9mm ammo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> specifically loaded for self defense, and the caliber is trusted by the US military and law enforcement agencies across the country. It is also one of the most popular handgun calibers for self defense among civilians.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a defensive situation, the 9mm will cause more damage to an attacker than the .22LR. With quality 9mm self defense ammo, the round is able to penetrate deep and expand upon hitting soft tissue, creating a large wound channel, hitting vital organs, and causing blood loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some shooters use the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/22lr-for-self-defense\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.22LR for self defense<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it is certainly not as effective as the 9mm. Shot placement matters for all handgun calibers, but it is especially important for the weaker .22LR as it will not cause the same amount of damage as the 9mm. That being said, someone might choose the .22LR if they don\u2019t have the strength or ability to shoot a larger round. In that case, you should avoid hollow point rounds. While <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/jacketed-hollow-point\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hollow point bullets<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are preferred in calibers like 9mm for self defense, it will actually hinder the .22LR\u2019s ability to penetrate deeply enough to hit vital organs.
