Orion, I often see this question being asked and for the life of me I don't understand why. I say that because at what range can you consistantly hit a target with your pistol? 50yards, 75yards 100yards? The effective range in my opinion has more to do with being able to hit the target consistantly at a certian range than it does with what the round will do at that range at terminal impact.
A 78 y/o lady shot her 64 y/o son-in-law with a .22LR at 250yards, hit him in the heart and killed him deader the hell. (lucky shot)
With all the gunshots I've seen, its where they were hit, not what they were hit with that made it fatal.
Just my .02 cents.
