| More people have lost their lives to under-powered calibers, such as the 22 or 9x18 Makarov, than all other pistol calibers combined. I will hold with MikeC in that a hit with a 22 is better than a miss with a 44. Competent marksmanship training is a must for the neophyte. After your training, time spent, with the firearm of your choice, at the range, in several different scenarios, is also a must. These two requirements are, in my opinion, are just as important as the the caliber, if not more so. Good luck!
