The issue with self-defense is that you don't have time for a headshot, leaving you with a weapon that has to reliably incapacitate a target wtih two or less center-of-mass shots. Imagine for a moment that you're a terrorist who wants to crash a bomb-laden vehicle through a wall and take down a building. You're going to pick a big truck, not a Mazda Miata.
A .22 round will hit a target with the same velocity, but will not transfer enough force to the target to produce reflexive neurocirculatory shock.
PS: As far as I know, the .41AE round has been discontinued. I'd also prefer a USP in .45 or .40, but you're not enough of a gun person to really know different manufacturers and their histories inside and out. I'm not saing the Beagle is a bad gun, but it wouldn't be my first choice. I'm also not going to address the assertion that IMI is the "best gun company in the world." That argument won't go anywhere good.
