If sighted dead on at 50 yards:

.22 Mag from a 6" pistol is 6.5" low at 100...

.22 Long Rifle from 6" pistol is 8.0" low at 100..

9mm Nato spec from 4" pistol is 6.0" low at 100...

Over the years we have had to shoot way too many dogs that have been dropped off "for the farmers to take care of" who then packed up...not good for the live stock....I am a dog lover from way back but shoot these mutts on sight...

It is obvious that a .22 rifle (.22 Mag pistol power)is at best minimal for a clean shot on a medium size dog standing still at 50 yards...it will kill them but not cleanly....remember Scott's badger he shot at arms length with 18 rounds from a long barreled .22 pistol....22s just don't hit real hard...

A 9mm will drop them in their tracks hit anywhere in the chest...a dramatic difference....and anyone full grown should not even notice the recoil of a 9mm service pistol if they are really paying attention to the shot....
