There is nothing I use a firearm for that cannot be covered with a .22, and the affordability/availability of ammo (in your proposed scenario, which assumes the current situation does not exist) would drive me in that direction.
I'd likely end up with a DA/SA pistol such as the Bersa Thunder/Firestorm .22, or even the DAO Taurus PT-22. In my hands, these can be formidable defensive weapons, and I can still enjoy a lot of shooting with them. They can also be carried outside of the home for defensive use.
I have an excellent AP-22 by FEG of Hungary (a rimfire version of their PA-63), but I would not purchase it in the proposed scenario due to its rarity and that of its parts.
