No one wants to get shot... period! If the .22 is what you feel comfortable with, than as has been said, a hit with a .22 is better than a miss with a .45! Would I personally carry a .22 mag? Nope. I can handle my 9mm and a .45 just fine and either of those is what I would carry.

Think about what you feel is acceptable and comfortable for you and go with it. THAT is the only thing that matters! And no matter what caliber you choose, as long as you can hit the CV triangle reliably, your chances of going home are pretty damn good.
