Don't sell a .22 mag with good ammo short by any means. Is it the best choice for personal defense? No, of course not. Is it reasonably effective for that purpose? I would argue that it definitely is. Choice of a personal defense weapon is always a series of trade offs. Smaller caliber normally means a smaller, more easily concealable weapon, but less stopping power; conversely, a larger caliber is more effective, but usually more difficult to conceal or, if it's packaged in a very small handgun, more difficult to shoot accurately. Choose your weapon based on its circumstances of use. For a "house" gun, I would never choose a .22 mag because a larger, more powerful handgun is just as easy to keep handy. For concealed carry, I will sometimes carry an NAA Black Widow because that's all I can hide easily.
