It may not be much for stopping power but a .22 short out of a 4 inch barrel will kill you deader than a door nail.

Yep. Ask Reagan's SS detail about Hinkley's .22. The slug was a couple millimeters from ending the the best presidency of the 20th century... (after grazing off the door of the limo he was being stuffed into).

Besides Reagan nearly being snuffed out, RFK was killed by a cheap .22 revolver (just reminded by a History Channel program).

Not my weapon of choice, but I can drive nails with a Browning Buckmark at a fair distance. It's a perfect practice and varmint gun, and not a bad weapon to have by your side in a pinch.
