I've got the Taurus-made copy of the Winchester 63 semi-auto .22. Had it for about fifteen years. Never a jam that I can recall. You can really spit them out fast with it. Ten round tubular magazine. Nice crisp trigger. If that were all I had, I doubt I'd feel all that badly armed in the home, loaded up with ten rounds of CCI Mini Mags.

But since I do own ARs and shotguns, those are what I keep at the ready instead, along with some Glocks, one of which is usually on me, even while home, or in the night stand.
