Out of a pocket gun barrel, .25 and .22 are a wash.
Ignition reliability goes to the .25 since it has a real primer.
Some of the junk pistols had loose bores in .25, hence the reputation for weakness. Out of a proper (tight) bore, it hits just as hard as a .22 out of the same length, until you start getting to longer barrels where the. 22 starts to shine- its a rifle cartridge after all.
