I would avoid 22 lr handguns as they lack sufficient penetration through a skull at the angles encountered during an altercation (may not be 90 degrees to the muzzle). I would go for a high capacity 9mm handgun and specifically a Glock 17 9mm. A Glock 34 would work too (fyi.....I don't like the way Glocks feel). Reasons are 9mm ammo is available (for now), and more importantly parts/accessories are available/interchangable. The 9mm has the ability to penetrate the skull. For zombies "stopping power" is not an issue. It would for be for other normal people trying to steal your stuff or otherwise harm you. Beretta, H&K, S&W hi cap 9mm's would be fine as well, but lack the parts/accessories availability. I doubt handguns would be a primary weapon in this type of event, but spare parts is always a plus.
Revolvers for the most part would be out of the picture. The weight to firepower ratio doesn't make sense.
