Mmmm, a .22 might not have the knock down power of a high caliber round, but it has no less stopping power. Picture this. At close range, you get shot with a high powered firearm. Chances are it goes clean through. At that same range, with a .22, you could take one in the chest, and by the time it gets done playing ping pong in your rib cage, it's liable to come out of your leg. At close range, your survival rate is much less with a low power round. At a distance, of course, you're right on. You need the power to sustain a fatal wound. However, these pistols are designed for close quarters combat, not long distance hunting.
As far as your white tail deer pistol, i'd say a Ruger Red hawk with a scope would be your best bet. [cool]
