What is "knockdown power"?
Eh for me it is really what ever I feel like defining at that moment. Recoil, ability to stop a threat with a marginal shot, how much energy is likely to be released in a target, the size of Sonic drink I want.

...look at the clothes you are wearing and see if something can be adjusted.

Check out the desantis nemesis pocket holster. You can use this in your front pocket, back pocket, cargo pocket, jacket pocket or if you have overalls your chest pocket. It cost less than $20. I use mine all the time.
These are the tightest fitting shorts I have/wear. The outline can be seen a little bit but once my overshirt is on it just dissapears. What works for me might not work for you. If you dont like pocket holster then look at the clothes you are wearing and see if something can be adjusted.
You're looking at it wrong. Sure you could kill someone with a 22 short (if placed correctly), but how long is it going to take for them to lose enough blood or do enough damage to stop the threat? Maybe you can argue that it's better then nothing, but if you're going to carry anything under a .380, why not carry pepperspray or a tazer? The .380 is basically a 9mm short.
Like JP said, there are a thousand and one ways to carry an airweight J frame. 5 shots of .38 special JHPs will do 100x better job.
Maybe it's just because I'm looking for it.
The purpose of using a firearm for self defense is not to kill the attacker...but to stop the attack. Punching even a .22 caliber hole in somebody is generally enough to take somebodys mind of taking whatever it is they were after and start focusing on the wound or what it would take to prevent another (ie. ceasing the attack and escaping). For this reason there is nothing wrong with carrying a NAA .22 as a BUG due to it's ease to conceal. I do agree that this should not be your primary though...I carry a G30 for that.
