Neither .22 or 38 super is the weapon of choice in such circles.

Two words: Assassination squads. Do you have any idea how many people are assassinated in cities like Neuvo Laredo and Ciudad Juarez every year by the drug gangs? Among assassins, the .22 is a favored round because it is quite lethal at point blank range, and it's easy to silence to keep from attracting attention. Since most of the murdered are killed at a range of less than three feet, they don't NEED powerful rounds for that sort of work.

If .22s are outlawed, only outlaws will have .22s....
