Out on the range today. 30 feet distance. 1 ft targets.4 new mags. 5 different types ammo - CCI-SV, Rem-Thunderbolt, Rem-Golden, CCI-HP, and 50 very old rounds??? 232/250 on paper. No failures. No problems. Not bad for a 63 year old newbie shooter. Read every thread, review and you tube videos before I chose the Ruger. So far I am in plinker heaven.

      steve stamps No, no. After Sandy hook they made availability of .22 ammo miniscule, now whenever places, especially Wal-Mart gets .22 ammo some people go out of their way to get to it first so it doesn't get bought out.

    • @KenMileyJr
      @KenMileyJr 9 років тому +17

      PJ MasterDiddy Where do you get your info? There was a shortage because the .22LR is the most widely used caliber in the country and after Sandy Hook people panicked and started cleaning out ALL the ammo. Since more people use .22 and it's relatively inexpensive it sold out faster and has stayed sold out since. Ammunition companies have gone on record saying that they've been producing .22LR 3 shifts per day since. It will come back when people feel like they've horded enough!

      AwesomeFinish where are yo getting your info from?? The same factory that makes .22 also makes other caliber ammo. So why continually retool the factory to produce the least profitable ammo when you can produce something that is 3 to 4 times more profitable? So manufacturing is down and demand is up.

    I've had this gun for almost a year. Great little 22. Feels nice in the hands and its fun to shoot. As far as the failure to feed issues. Mine started doing that a lot. Thought it was a mag issue at first. Then tried different ammo. Turns out its finicky when it gets dirty. I use this gun a lot for target practice. I find that if I clean it (I use break free CLP and a brass brush) every 200 to 400 rounds it solves the FTF issue.

    I got a little Bersa Thunder 22 after liking my .380 so much. It's pretty fun to plink with at the range and cost me like 5-10 cents/round. The cost of a day at the range brought me from $80/day (9mm/380/40) to about $20 with 22LR, so the wife is happy about that.
    It's funny about ammo though. It likes CCI but a lot of others fail to eject.

    @jamesritchie8170 2 роки тому +1

    You may not see this but I do have one of these that I use for the classes that I teach. After about 15,000 rounds I started having several misfire issues. I replaced the recoil spring rod with a steel one. That started to reduce the misfires. I also found that with my big hands, I switched to the big floor plate so that my pinky is underneath the mag. If found that without moving to that, there is enough play in the magazine to cause downward pressure if I did not out my finger underneath. The only other thing I had a problem with is that you need to use solvent to spray down through the firing pin to keep it clean. The disassembly of the firing pin block was more than I want to do every cleaning. The very last issue I found with mine is that it does not like a very tight crip on the gun. With those issues resolved and using 1280 fps rounds, I am now around 35,000 rounds through that gun.

    I bought some tracer 22 rounds a few years back ~DON'T~ on the 3rd shot from my beat up old revolver it sounded kinda funny, nothing funny about the 4th shot, fire and lead came out everywhere except to end of the barrel. The 3rd round had stuck in the tube when I fired. Gives a whole new meaning to the words " gun shy". Had a tough time getting those rounds out and my old revolver clean up.
    Really lucky it was just 22 ammo and a strong old pistol.

    Traded my Walther p22 away yesterday- had it two weeks, lost $150 on the trade. Got it for xmas from my wife. Sorriest pistol I ever owned. Got a Ruger SR22 in trade. Instantly all my ftf fte, ftc problems went away. Talked to Walther they told me to only use CCI mini mag. I was, but also wanted to use other ammo. Would not shoot other HI-Vel ammo, and most definitely no non-premium ammo. They said it was in the manual. It's not, only to use 22LR. If it takes a specific cartridge it should be posted on the box. Internet is full of videos on how to modify the Walther to make it work . I call BS on the Walther. I got the gun to shoot, not have to repair it new out of the box, or send it in new for warranty, or not be able to use it if I can't find special ammo.. Stay away from the Walthers- get a Ruger.

      Richard Alexander no manufacturer should make a gun that only shoots one brand/kind of ammo that's dumb I have a sr22 as well before I had a 130 dollar pheonix arms .22 and all it liked was Cci ammo almost everything else would fte or ftf so I bought the Ruger.

      That was how my Beretta 21a bobcat was.. basically a single shot gun with bulk ammo. Also no extractor so you couldn't just rack to clear&reload. Worked great with cci though

      bad bad mc bad It wasn't a .22 but Kimber 1911 was super reliable with anything.. seriously regret selling it and think i might get another with my stimulus check.

    • @jseden
      @jseden 4 роки тому

      bad bad mc bad For sure. I just feel like I see a lot of Kimber hate while my experience was just the opposite. Anyway, got my quarantine money.. ultimately it's a tough call between a nice 1911 or a mini14 folder. The later has been on my list for years.

    Another great video. I've been wanting a semi auto .22 pistol for a while and have been torn between a few different ones. Finally decided to jump on one today when a local shop offered one I couldn't pass up. Got me a sr22 stainless. They even threw in some of that "rare" .22 ammo so I could play with it right away. Thanks again for the info. Very helpful as always. Keep them coming Hickok!

    Tracers are so fun to shoot! I used to enjoy in the Navy when we'd have night gun shoots, and you can really see the Arc of the bullet and you think a 308 or 762X51 shoot a long way until you see it up against the fifty-caliber or a 25 mm chain gun it makes the M14 & M60 look like a peashooter...

      @brianpartlow5530 5 років тому +1

      I like stingers! In pistols it gives you the fire ball, like you're shooting a big magnum round. You never get a dud either which is good if you ever use it as a carry gun.

    • @zm1786

      Stinger are slightly longer than regular .22 so some have trouble cycling , otherwise you are very correct

      @timsharkey1993 3 роки тому

      I’m not a professional, but I do have a fair amount of range time with SR22’s since my wife and I each own one. They run great with higher velocity rounds like CCI Mini Mags, and not as well with standard velocity. Hickok45’s issues here look a lot like what happens with ours with the weaker rounds or bulk pack stuff.

    The wife bought a SR22 for her first gun.
    We've put several different type of ammo through it with reasonable results. The thunderbolt ammo I've had for years seemed to be the worst, but hey you get to teach clearing a malfunction. Other ammo worked fine, CCI blazer, mini mags solid, fed bulk .36gr HP, CCI standard velocity worked fine too.
    The high velocity ammo and .40gr bullet weights is the key to reliability. HVHPs or .40Gr standard V.
    The thunderbolts being old (10+yrs) are not reliable in a 10/22 so fresh ones may work better, I'm just not going to pay the price for junk ammo when you can get crappy ammo for the same price.

    Bought my wife an SR22 for her birthday a couple years ago. She came with a S&W Lady Smith .38 and with age she decided she didn't like the .38. Sadly her health took a dive and she passed away this past February. I had read quite a bit about the SR22 before the purchase and others had commented to feed only "quality" ammunition for reliable operation. I've never fed it other than Remington Golden Bullets and have never had a single problem. I enjoyed watching you figure out the problem, even if I did talk gruffly to the television. (I do that these days) I really enjoy shooting Barbie's SR22. I'm wondering now why I left in the box for two years, waiting for her I guess. I hope you do decide to keep that one and I hope to see more videos on it.

    @glitterforcemaximus7232 2 роки тому +2

    I know this is an old video but this gun is still awesome for a .22LR. I've seen a lot of people having feeding and ejection problems and the company Tandemkross makes a replacement spring guide rod which is made out metal for $30 and should make it more consistent. Also the feed ramp is not chamfered as much as it should be which makes it catch when trying to chamber a round.

    While the 22 lr would not be my first choice as a defensive weapon, I myself would not want to get hit with one of these little bullets. Anyone that thinks that the 22 lr round is useless as a defensive cartridge should take a look at the President Reagan shooting and what the shooter was able to do with just a little 22 revolver.
