Question .22 caliber snub nose revolvers

Hi, any of you use a S&W 317 or 351 revolver?
What is the ballistic of those calibers in the short barrels of those revolvers?
Here, in Italy, it is not allowed the use of hollow point/frangible bullets for self defense.
I wonder if, for a BUG (or as the sole weapons, in rare situations), the 7 shots in .22 magnum or 8 shots in .22LR are a better option than the 5 shots of .38 SPL or the 7 shots of .380 from the weapons i presently own (S&W 638 and Ruger LCP).
Thanks and safe shooting.
