Doug M., well said. Everything including the 22 CB Cap is lethal but in many cases that lethality comes hours or even days later. Likewise, most every handgun cartridge has "stopped" an assailant at one time or another.

As folks who are interested in successfully defending ourselves and our loved ones, the probability of stopping an assailant should be of primary interest. RNL bullets at standard 38 Spl velocities don't have a high probability of stopping. Yes they do occasionally stop, but likewise they occasionally fail miserably.
