I know it's directed at Occhi but the .22 isn't a proper defense weapon, as I'm sure you're aware. Displaying a firearm can be a deterrent, in which case a .22 is adequate. But if you display a firearm you better be ready to use it. (I won't display a firearm unless I feel the situation will demand it's use.) Without expert shot placement (and even some luck) the .22 is not an adequate defensive round. Besides, the sound of a .22 going pap, pap, pap isn't much of a deterrent either.
