Yes Erich and Thomas, I was afraid that would be the general concensus but read this article if you have the time.

Erich, in the .22 magnum wounds you've seen, was it ineffective?

Thanks for any further info.

Here's a brief excerpt but please read the article if you have the time:

(By M. Ayoob) - I haven’t run across that many .22 Magnum shootings in my career. It’s not that popular a cartridge and therefore doesn’t get used very often in shootouts. However, I do recall two cases in which it was used, both times out of miniature revolvers with two-inch or even shorter barrels. In both cases, the result was an instant one-shot stop after a single round to the chest, and both incidents proved quickly fatal. Hmm…maybe Bill Jordan was onto something with that “wicked” stopping power comment.
