The issues with .22lr are mostly caused by cheap ammo and poorly built firearms. A Ruger or other reliable and quality firearm, with good ammo, and those problems almost completely disappear. It'll kill alright, but not my choice for self defense. Don't get me wrong, I love the caliber. Not a man killer. Either get your self defense gun, or a nice plinker. My two cents say .22lr in something like Ruger. I have the 22-45 lite and love it. PITA to strip the first couple of times, which is why I didn't recommend it in your case, but it's a great gun.
