Why anyone would deliberately choose the 22 Mag from a pistol for defense when there are so many better centerfire rounds available is beyond me

The reason is that the .22 mag is cheaper to shoot, it produces energy out of a pistol similar to the 38 special (you can see ballistic info in my previous post), newer ammo is really mean for the 22 mag, and I get 8 rounds in my concealed revolver instead of 5.
