BG = bad guy
Battery = Battery (firearms): When a gun is properly in battery it means the slide or bolt is fully closed and ready to fire. Guns out of battery have the slide or bolt stuck partially open.……….(as can happen when jammed against someone, or a door, etc)
As Whistle noted, a 642 with wad cutters might be a good choice.
A SP101 might be as well, or an LCR.
Recoil is significant in most ANY gun that weighs a pound or less, regardless of caliber, with the exception of .22lr.
I have a LCR in .22lr, and it is FUN.
if one was to really train with it, it could be a suitable carry piece for many situations, despite the caliber limitations.
8 rounds, easy to shoot, hardly any recoil.
Three rounds in da face of .22lr, especially some of da stuff a available these days, will end trouble.
(Actually one round hitting anywhere typically changes behavior quickly.)
