Over at God, Gals. Guns, and Grub there is a nice little read on realistic caliber selection for personal defense.... and it puts to rest some of the tired old rhetoric that is seen throughout the internets.
The .22 is worthless and isn't lethal enough... maybe, but I wouldn't ask Robert F. Kennedy's opinion on that one. No, I'm not endorsing the terrific little .22 as the defensive round of choice, but as I tell my students... a .22 shot placed on-target is better than .45 shot that misses the target. The two considerations that make .22s a possibility for self-defense is that they are usually inexpensive to purchase and shoot, and they're easy and inexpensive to shoot reliably so folks will likely to practice more often.
