I always get a good chuckle when people try to tell me that 22s aren't a good self defense weapon.... I shot .22 caliber and .25 caliber in competition when I was a teenager... I would much much much rather get shot with a couple of 9 mm rounds than a shit load of 22 or 25 rounds, and there's generally going to be a shitload of them considering how many can fit in the average gun and just how fast and easy you can put them on target.
I suppose that might be slightly true if you don't know how to aim though.... But there's a reason that .22 is the assassins choice and, on top of that, with almost no recoil you can put a whole bunch of rounds in a real tiny space.
As long as you're not a police officer trying to take down a naked man on PCP wielding 2 samurai swords, then a .22 will do everything you need it to do, especially if someone is afraid of strong recoil or maybe for a small lady or something.
