No such thing as a 22mm pistol - anything 20mm and above is considered a cannon, anyhow.

You're probably thinking of a .22 pistol, which is .22 inches (although the diameter of the projectile is actually .223 inches).

As for which is better, what are your needs? If you just want something to plink with, I'd recommend the .22. If you want something for self defence, then definitely the 9mm.

In what regard? The .40 is a more powerful cartridge, whereas a 9mm can typically hold more rounds, and the round itself is much more commonplace.

The differences are negligible. The pistol you're using and the specific ammo will have more effect on accuracy.

What are the characteristics of the 357 sig?

Very generally speaking, it is a 9mm diameter bullet fired with the pressure of a .40 SW, so what you get is a very high velocity 9mm bullet which has much more muzzle energy than a regular 9mm. They are very loud because of the higher pressure (more powder) but very accurate, and based on the (somewhat limited) information available about it, is very effective.
