Good statistics to know. Thanks for sharing.
I'd rather have a .22LR handgun to defend myself with than no firearm. But, I have larger calibers to work with. 9mm being the low end of what I trust to protect myself.

Thanks OP.Comment

More important to know the FBI calculated percentage of one shot stops v. caliber. Obviously, you could argue there are more actors stopped by .22's since there are more .22 guns out there. Duh big time.

The problem with .22LR is comparatively poor cartridge reliability and increased probability of gun malfunctions. Then there's the whole one shot stop problem with .22.
I would not want to trust my life with one if I had a choice. However, if it's the only gun you have or the only gun you can control and manipulate, it's far better than a rock.

The best handgun for stopping power is the handgun in the victim's hand used at the time of the attack."Bruen, the Bruen opinion, I believe, discarded the intermediate scrutiny test that I also thought was not very useful; and has, instead, replaced it with a text history and tradition test."

.22 is plenty deadly. .22WMR more so.
