The primary advantage of a .22 auto is that even a new shooter can fire it rapidly, on target. A .38 revolver, even if the DA trigger doesn't cause the first shot to go wide, can fall prey to recoil compensation where the novice puts the next five shots in the floor.
For home use by novices a condition 3 target .22 solves a few problems.
