@kazriko if you can manage a 2” grouping with 10 rounds at 10 yards using a larger gauge firearm by all means, use it (I do exactly this with 9mm).

But a lot of people can’t, because they lack the strength, dexterity, stamina, etc. to train with a larger weapon and wield it in an emergency situation.

Almost anyone can achieve this with sufficient training and practice using a .22 pistol. Quality .22 ammunition will penetrate 12” at 10 yards with a 4” barrel, and a 2” group of ten in the body will find at least a couple that make it to vital organs or between ribs and through lungs. If you’ve ever seen someone try to keep moving with a pneumothorax you know how effective this is.

That said I’m getting bored with this “ballistics bench racing”.
