I did a great deal of research on the topic of 22 for SD, and you would be surprised at the amount of support that decision gets from experienced shooters.
I started a thread about my choice and change. It has numerous replies from experienced LEOs and Others who have seen the effects of the 22 on adversaries. There are even a couple replies from people who have been shot by them. It's a long thread, but it has a lot of food for thought. You can read it here.

I can totally understand your rationale for switching to .22 LR, but the PT22 is one of the last pistols I'd want in that caliber. I'd much rather take a revolver, or at least a semiauto with a better reputation for reliability.
