That question can't be answered, as there are too many unknown
variables.  Optimal twist rate is a combination of several factors,
including bullet weight, bullet velocity, and barrel length.  I have no
idea what is optimal for a .25 micro pistol.

Honestly I can't even see why anyone would want such a thing.  It's
about the same as a .22LR and that isn't even in the discussion when it
comes to self-defense.  Perhaps only that "it's better than nothing".

 Lo> Oh shit, you must have that feature turned off, huh?

What feature?  You have a habit of talking about things that nobody else
would/could know what you mean...

I'm using an Offline Mail Reader, which may have some bearing on what
you're talking about.  <SHRUG>
