it is ALMOST the same exact cartridge as the old .22WRF, which was available in the late 1800's... (as witnessed in the factory chamberings in the Winchester 1890 pump-action rimfire...)

the .22 mag has it's place in personal defense, (ultra-small handguns) but the 9MM is better, if you have the room for the gun that uses it.
