[Grizzled Bear]

I once was lectured by a Providence cop on how the .22 LR was much more dangerous than a .38, and with that level of intelligence, you can be sure no logical argument will rate any attention at all.

I guess since .22 LR is much cheaper, you can make up power with volume.

My weapon of choice is a .45 ACP. I never want to be in a situation where I'm forced to shoot someone; however, if I am in such a situation, I only want to shoot them once.

I'll take a swing at this. If someone is gut shot with a .38 the round will generally be more easily found and removed because it won't deviate a lot from the entrance point. A .22 however, might fragment making the pieces hard to find, or it might spin around and damage several organs.

As for me, I thought the .45 was a good enough service weapon.
