Very common. The .22 pistol is a very popular target and training firearm, and is a sizable part of the handgun market. There are about 10 in my collection.
Guns are the most common murder weapon in the United States. Handguns of 22 caliber and 38 caliber are most used.
Yes, the.22 caliber rifle is perhaps the most common firearm in the US. The .22 cartridge is also used in handguns. Search Wilipedia for .22 Long rifle, and it will have information on the cartridge used by rifles and handguns. I have about 30 different .22 caliber rifles in my collection- they are accurate, inexpensive, ammuntion is not expensive, they have very little recoil, and my grandkids like to shoot them.
Many handguns made in this caliber.
Rifles are mostly 5.56 and handguns are 9mm. There are other calibers that are used, but those are the most common.
That's a very difficult question to answer because, of course, any caliber can kill. Smaller caliber handguns are fairly common in crime involving handguns because people believe large handguns are too diffucult to conceal. Most major police agencies in the U.S. use 9mm or .40 caliber handguns. It's also difficult to answer because information on caliber used in homicide and other crimes isn't readily available.

'22LR' refers to .22 caliber "Long Rifle" cartridges. These are rimfire cartridges used in many handguns and small sport & target rifles.
Depends on the firearm and the caliber marked on it. It could be a .22 Short, .22 Long Rifle (LR) or .22 WMR (magnum). You did not give us enough information to answer- there have been a million (really) .22 caliber handguns made in Italy.
Relatively inexpensive to purchase, and to prchase ammo, the .22 rimfire also has very low recoil, and is much quieter than larger caliber firearms. The habits learned with a .22 carry over to other handguns

Yes. Among the smallest modern cartridge firearms is the "22 caliber" size, which is actually .22 caliber or 0.22 inches, about 5.6 mm of internal bore diameter. There are both numerous handguns and rifles that use this dimension, which has the benefits of relatively inexpensive ammunition and an extremely small recoil.
No relation to the real Secret Service- low $$$ handguns, most made by Iver Johnson for a reseller.
