22's are far more lethal. It has been proven. They enter one place,

.223 perhaps but not really true of the .22rf.

They can cause fatal damage but it is not really immediate and in a
serious social situation (or a bear attack) *you want immediate
results

On the farm, we would use a .22 to stun a steer unconscious by shooting him in the forehead. Then,
when he was down, slit it's throat. Pretty humane way of killing the critter.

Israeli hit men seem to like .22s but they are doing the same thing as
you. putting the gun up against the victim's head and shooting.
On the other hand a shot to the center of mass is a pretty iffy thing.
Reagan had a .22 round in a lung and barely even knew he was shot.

"Civilian" gun fights/attacks usually take place at 15 feet or less. I
asked about this when I first started shooting at the local cop firing
range and noticed most of the cops firing at targets seven to 20 feet
away. Massad F. Ayoob often talks or writes about short-range firing
challenges. At close range, even a .22LR pistol will be deadly in the
hands of a good shooter. The advantages of the light-caliber handgun in
"combat" are low recoil, little muzzle flip, and fast cyclic rate.

My custom CZ is the most accurate pistol I've ever shot, and it also has
the fastest cycling rate. I've shot .40's, 9's, 10's, 45's, 22's, 25's,
380's, et cetera. If I were in a civilian combat situation, my sidearm
of choice would be my customized CZ.



Atthat instant, I'd be happy to grab what was available!
