Agree that 22Lr is NOT a good round for concealed carry. I teach the class here in Ohio, and have seen many different types/sizes/calibers of weapons used in class. If the weapon will be used primarily for concealed carry, 9mm is hard to beat for manageable recoil and ballistic performance.
If the weapon will primarily be a hunting gun, a .357 revolver would work much better. The drawback being the size. If you get a bigger framed gun, it will be hard to conceal, and if you get a smaller farmed gun the sight radius will be small.
The best solution is to get 2 guns (much more expensive).
I personally carry a Glock 27 40 cal. or 26 9mm depending on my mood as my concealed carry gun. regardless of what weapon you choose, make sure you shoot them before buying, and that they feel good in YOUR hands. Don't rely on someone else to pick your gun.
