I didn't read the entire thread.
I have a few "defense-oriented" .22 caliber handguns. It has been a long time since I've carried one as either a single (only), or as a second gun. I have sometimes carried one as a third (NAA Mini .22 in jeans watch pocket while two Kel-Tec products ride in other places.) I just have too many other guns ahead of them in the cache of concealed-carry weapons. Even if I want small, the Taurus TCP, Kel-Tec P32, and Seecamp LWS32 take it down to the size of my Beretta 21A Bobcat (as does my Beretta 950b Jetfire in .25ACP.)
If I got to where all I could handle was a gun in .22LR or .25CP, I have them, and they're decent options. I just haven't gotten there yet.
My wife will only shoot a handgun in .22, so the Taurus PT22 she has shot is what gets left out for her (sometimes, it's an identical pistol in .25ACP instead.)
