The .22 mag is a better choice than nothing, but as far as comparing it to other rounds it is a poor choice.
The fact that there are many people killed with the .22 (either LR or mag) is misleading. What should be looked at is not just that they died, but how long it took them to do so after being shot. An injured person is still capable of fighting. The point here is not just to end the fight, but to do so as quickly as possible. This is why larger claibers are desireable. They tend to end fights more quickly. There is no guarantee this will happen, but it does turn the odds more in your favor. Bigger holes tend to bleed more.
You would be better served with a good .38 or, at least a .380.
