Great video , My father in law who spent 35 years in the military is now 90 and a little frail although he loves to shoot . 9mm and up has been almost impossible for him the last few years . I’ve heard nothing but good things about the TX 22 , went and picked up 2 today so we can shoot together . Subscribed and keep up the good work!
If you'll use the load assist that comes with , it helps with the alignment and it's very fast. I'm on my second TX22. I've got over 12000 rounds on the first one and 3000 rds on the newest one. Superb 22 pistol.!
I love my TX. She is a fun gun. No issues so far with good ammunition. Using American eagle hollow point. Got my wife into shooting, thanks to this little gem. Great product, made in America.
I've had mine for over a year. I modified 4 magazines with the 21 round Tandemcross magazine extensions. I also put in the Tandemcross Eagle Talon extractor, the Victory trigger. Also put in the Galloway stainless steel guide rod with the 10% spring as I often shoot sub sonic ammo. Never had a feed problem with any ammo so far. Probably run around 7K rounds through it. Best 22 pistol I've owned so far. Highly recommended. Good job Taurus.
i just got one, great vid btw, i had no problems dor maybe 100 rounds then the failures to feed started. i used the icluded mag loader and the buttons on the mags. about 575 rds and had alot of ftf. read online to load the mags with no assist and it gets better alson to load them and leave them fully loaded for a while. after one or two days fully loaded i cycled the action and had a few ftf but seemed better loadeing no assist. i like the pistol just hope the ftf get better.
I have had one for about 18 months. Best 22lr pistol I have owned. Have a few and this is by far my favorite. I have bought all kinds of cheap ammo in the last year and it amazes me as it runs everything well. Mini mags and CCI standard are perfect , no issues.
After watching numerous videos, I purchased my first TX 22 from my local gun shop. After I sold my Colt Huntsman more than 30 years ago, I knew I had made a big mistake. This will get me back to practicing and some good experience wiith a quality 22 LR handgun. I love the full size hand grip and the quality of the TX 22.
A friend came to visit and brought her TX22 for me to try. On my very first trigger pull, I knew that I needed one of these. We went back to the range the next day and I shot it some more. When I got home I ordered one for myself.
Thanks to videos like this and my friend’s recommendation, I ordered this last night. I’m going to use it as a training tool for my boys and wife. The wife has a nerve entrapment issue in her arm and had a hard time shooting my 9mm. I believe the tx22 will suit her just fine.
Another person showed you can pull the follower down all the way and can be locked to make loading even easier. I am getting one and I know, after watching reviews like yours, will love it. Mine will be more for having fun at the range as I have 2 9mm that I carry daily. I practice with them at the range. I subscribed to your channel.
I just bought one myself 2 days ago at the local Academy Sports and took it to the range today without bothering to do an initial clean and lube. All I did do was check the barrel to make sure it wasn't full of grease. I used Winchester ammo and it ate it like a starving man with a steak. Only had one misfire out of 100 rounds or so and that shell fired the second time after I put it back in the chamber. I made sure to break it down and clean it once I returned home though. Which I will add is a LOT easier to do compared to the Walther P22 I also have. I will say too that once I use up all of the Winchester ammo I have I plan on only using CCI in my TX.
I have a tx22 competition with 1443 rounds (I use an app to track it) it will jam occasionally when dirty from shooting, but it is way more reliable now I got a little bit of rounds through it. From the videos I see looks like the regular tx22 is more reliable. Oh and the mag cutout lets you make sure they are loaded well to reduce chances of rim lock
IMO, the answer is Yes the TX22 is a very good 22LR Gun and worth the price you will pay for this gunBUT so will one of it's Rivals, The Kel-Tec P17, and from what I have read about these two guns, the research I have done and my personal experience with One of these Guns, I can say, you will not be sorry whichever one you choose! In my whole shooting life, I have tried Both these Companies in my past But I have had Issues with both and decided to stay away from them for many years! Having said this, I have recently witnessed a strong resurgence of Quality and Reliability from Both Companies, especially with the 22LR Guns! I must say that I purchased a P17 last summer because of the very high prices of Ammo and I have shot over 1000 failure free rounds, right out of the box and was so Impressed, so I purchased another one four months later! They both have been failure free for me But I have not tried the TX22 as of yet and I'm quite sure that It is a Very Good 22LR gun just like the P17. Good luck with whichever one you choose!
I had a classic Luger .22 and the magazine on that was never an issue. I could slap the bullets in there and never even thought about it. They fell inline and never had issues chambering. I love my TX .22, but the magazines are finicky. I have to shake them and get them just right or it jams. I wish these were as trouble free as the Luger mags.
@@JeepCherokeeful deadly against grown men. I'm carry mine daily. I have 9s,45acp,and others. I am confident in my putting rounds on target every time . 5 shots into a 5 inch circle from 5 yards. I do alright with the nine, but not like this tack driver.
Some states only want you to use ten rds in your mag ..so the targets don't get scared . Thanks Bud, yes I think it's an awesome 22 lr best ego's. , 2019 gun of the year award winning pistol .
I've had a TX22 for a while haven't shot it much. Took it to the range with only Remington Golden Bullet. It didn't seem to like that stuff. Haven't shot it since. Thanks for reminding me about it. I'll take it out again with some other loads. Bet it'll like those more. Good vid man.
Just got mine to the range yesterday. Had SOOO much fun shootin my first 100 rounds (would've shot more but that's all I had on me)!! I did have some issues getting it disassembled beforehand (first cleaning & lube)...hoping that gets simpler as it breaks in. GREAT GUN!
Who goes to the range with ONLY 100 rounds? Figure about how much you want to shoot then multiply it by 4. I've got 2 of these TX22s, well worth the buckage used to aquire them. I'm saving my 5s and 10s to buy another or may buy a Kel Tec P17.
I bought a TX22 and fired 1,300 rounds through it so far and haven't cleaned it. It had one misfire and no other malfunctions. The round has a good solid strike on it but didn't go off. I turned it a bit, reloaded and fired and still didn't go off. Again with a solid strike on it. So it's the ammo. And btw, this is exactly why it's not a good idea to carry a 22lr for EDC unless that's the only thing you got. It's a fact that rimfire is less reliable than centerfire.
I purchased a TX-22 last week and bought some of the cheap Winchester ammo that you used in this video. I hope to get out to the range this coming weekend and try it out.
I use Federal 22lr target ammo from Walmart. Comes in 350 round boxes. I've shot countless boxes of it. I've had little or no misfire's. The TX loves it.
Iv'e had mine since they came out. I shoot it all the time. You won't find a better .22 pistol. Some may be as good but not better for general plinking. There are the super .22 cal pistols if you want a target grade pistol but that's a competition pistol. Lots of fun for cheap money. Just hard to beat !
Great pistol! It’s Very reliable if you load one by one and don’t use the loading tabs on side of magazine. And don’t fire CCI Stingers, it’s hard on the barrel. Mine cycles standard velocity too!
I have the tx22 limited edition dark alliance by sportsman's special 4.2in barrel and ceramic coating absolutely love it well over 5000 rounds and 0 issues
Thank you for sharing your experience with this gun.This could be my very first gun.I've been waiting for the permission to buy a weapon to be used at the shooting-range.Greetings from Italy.
The taurus is so easy to load once you get the trick the first 3 a little tuff but after that you fly through it and one good tap on the magazines base plate and the rounds line up its been my go to 22lr for four years it's light its a real striker fired pistols not a mess of moving parts breaks down easy a light cleaning and very little lube and all I've ever had ammo wise where light casings and if I put them back in they almost always go off this is #1 for me out of four other decent 22s my ruger sr22 is 2 I put add ons to the magazine brings it up to 16 as well but the taurus is a full size I changed to optic fiber sights same set up basically but the new adjustable and I can't miss and I'm no where near even and intemediate.
The one time I shot a friend’s Taurus, 9mm…one of their sub compacts, both of us agreed that the triggers sucked. Disappointed because ya gotta love the price. So, I was happy to hear their triggers are up to snuff now. Now retired, on fixed income, I’m especially happy Taurus improved their triggers, and I’ll be looking to purchase this model.
Just the trigger on the TX-22... The rest of Taurus handgun triggers still suck. The G3C is marginally but noticeably better than the G2C but that's about it.
Purchased one about 2 weeks ago and I didn't have as much luck with it as you have. In 100 rounds i had multiple failures to eject and towards the end of the 100 rounds my shots were becoming very inaccurate. Got home, tried cleaning it up a bit and saw a ton of lead built up inside the barrel. Looked it up online and found that extreme lead fouling was a common problem with TX22 barrels. Had to send it back for a barrel replacement.
I've been interested in this handgun for some time. I've looked into the Kel tec also. This Taurus seems to always get good to excellent reviews. Three 16 rd Mags and the reliability, and the threaded barrel are great too. Even though I live in NYC and "Silencers " are a major NO-NO.
Taurus G3 has a pretty nice trigger. It also has double strike capability which makes it nice for dry fire training. comes in 9mm and I believe 40sw. I have the 9mm version. There is 2 versions. One has glock sites and the older model has sites compatible with the T 22. I have the older model. which I like cause you should be able train with a red dot on your tx 22 and then switch the red dot to the G3
I bought a 9mm and with the way ammo prices are I wish I had gone with a 22. I know its less stopping power but money's tight and I need range time practice.
Hopefully you've got that TX22 by now. I remember my first purchase (40 cal) and I immediately regretted not buying a 9. But within a year I had multiple pieces in multiple calibers. Hang in there and you'll eventually get what you're wanting. Also, this particular 22 (TX) is a beast. I bought one and a few months later bought another.... That's how good it is.
I have one and i love it alot of people knock 22 for self defense and ima a young dude i have a 9mm as well but i have my tx 22 that i carry on certain days i love mines for sure and people just forget that 22lrs are bullets and not a bb they will kill for sure and they bounce around inside you like crazy i told someone if a 22 can kill a big hog what you think it would do to a human being lol 17 to 5 shots of 22lr is deadly idc what nobody says I love me a 22
My experience, Stay away from FLAT TIP ammo. It will jam trying to feed more often than not. Winchester ammo in general is junk. Federal punch is TOO HOT!! Do not use punch more than a few times. If you try punch suppressed, it will short stroke, not pick up a round properly and drag that round forward enough to sometimes jam or pick it up, then slam it too quickly forward an it fly off the ramp. My first gen tx22 had over 5k through it and i had no mag issues, any way i loaded it. Only issue, the sights....junk.
@@Spidermonkey2a They really are. And it's a shame. I do have an lcp 2 in 22lr as well. It will run almost anything too. And it holds 10 rnds but is really small. My wife is very recoil sensitive but it is what she carries. It is very reliable.
Ive put atleast 2500 rounds through mine, and i have another case for it. Its the best $200 I’ve spent. Also 16rd magazines only for me! Taurus is awesome ime/imo.
For $200 it's worth it. It's 299 for me, and I just bought the tx22 compact. It jams rounds into the top of the chamber about 1 in 80, so far 4 different brands in 300. I'm not impressed.
this is a good range gun. with ammo costs through the roof, shooting a 9, 40 and 45 ammo at the range can cost you a couple hundred bucks. with this 22 you can have fun and get your aim down for a quarter of the cost which means you can go to the range more, and take a 22 rifle with you to change it up and still keep the costs low. my 30/30 lever action rifle ammo is about $1.50 per shot now days, makes for expensive days at the range.
Bought mine a week ago because of a local deal, but so far I am not impressed. I can see all the places where quality was sacrificed to keep the cost down. For starters, the plastic adjustable sights are terrible, mine broke just trying to adjust the windage for the first time. Second, the barrel. My standard procedure for any new gun is to break it down and get in a good cleaning and lubrication before taking to the range, but this barrel is absolute garbage, the rifling is almost nonexistent and there are marks around the inside diameter that looks like machining chatter. Next is the mags, I like the capacity but I don't have much faith in mags with plastic feed lips, they are destined to wear out prematurely and at 25 bucks a mag that is a big bummer. I have a huge stockpile of Remington golden bullets 36 gr HP (got them when the 100 packs were just $2.70 each) and they don't feed, constantly jam either against the front lip of the mag or while riding up the feed ramp of the barrel. I heard these guns run anything with the occasional exception for bullets like this or Winchester. Also, im not sure why Taurus chose to have a 1/10 twist rate barrel in their compact and competition model but a 1/16 twist rate barrel in the full size. Seems like the 1/10 would be the better option so I am glad Lakeside offers a match grade barrel made from a higher quality steel alloy with a 1/14 twist rate. Bit spend but I might have to get it to improve accuracy and prevent keyholing targets. Taurus doesn't even specify what alloy this barrel is made from. But at just under $50 for a replacement barrel, I'm not convinced it is of quality. Now the pros, it isn't all bad. For the cost you get a very ergonomic high capacity linking pistol with a good source for aftermarket parts (which will be needed for my example to make this cheap deal a decent and fun to shoot gun.). The factory trigger is impressive for what it it is. Had a little bit of mush and gritty less out of the box but I got it cleaned up and running smooth. Tandem Kross offers a lot of nice upgrades including an adjustable flat trigger kit. I bought this gun because it was cheap, but now I feel a bit burnt that I'll have to invest into some parts to bring up the quality and performance to the point I could have just bought a Sig or Beretta and had quality out of the box. Although the Berreta is good quality, the parts for the M9 22 have been discontinued, so that is a non-starter.
You are doing very well on your video, they're are 2 or 3 black guys I watch but the rest are kinda stupid on they're videos, you are another one I will watch, I'm a 65 year old white guy retired cancer survivor, dont have time for stupid, I'm also a gun collector, semi pro at it, very impressed with you, keep up the good work. Have fun out there, oh I just got ruger mk 4 target bull barrel wow is it nice.
Everybody always dogs on the .22 you know I have killed more things with my bb gun then any of my actual guns. A single .22 round is enough to stop all but the craziest of people.
My TX22 jams sometimes 5 times per magazine, on all different kinds of ammo, it's pure garbage. Taurus wanted me to pay to have it shipped to them. I'll never buy another Taurus.
Are they as good as they say? No! Inconsistent. Mine won't even feed CCI mini-mags - go figure. Very frustrating at the range. I've tried all the magazine tricks on CZcams and no go. I know I will trade it down the road. I don't like guns I can't count on to go bang every time I pull the trigger. Even if you rent one and it works great, there is no guarantee whatsoever your new one will work.
not impressed with mine, 10rd mags, wont reliably eject high velocity ammo.. wants to go to the left of the ejector and get caught between there and the in side of the slide
WHY does EVERYONE shoot steel with a .22? Hitting 6 or 8 inch steel is WORTHLESS with a .22 ------ if you're using it for self defense you gotta hit the correct target. If you're using it as a survival gun you gotta hit the target. Paint a squirrel on your steel and show us how far away you can hit it 10 out of 10 times, you know to put meat in the pot! Not trying to be an ass I just would like some real-world info to go on.
I was shooting steel yesterday, with my new Ruger LCP II, .22 pistol, at 25 yards. My Taurus TX22 is much more accurate and easier to shoot. I like shooting steel because it's fun and I don't have to keep buying targets. If I want to hunt squirrels I use a .22 rifle. I'm not able to post a picture on here to show you but my steel is 8X12 inches and there is nowhere on it you can draw a squirrel that it wouldn't have been hit, although full disclosure, some rounds might have hit the tail, but again, that was with my micro .22 Ruger LCP II!
Just bought mine and ran 200 rounds through it at the range. Zero jams or misfires. Flawless and accurate!!
Very nice!
Great video , My father in law who spent 35 years in the military is now 90 and a little frail although he loves to shoot . 9mm and up has been almost impossible for him the last few years . I’ve heard nothing but good things about the TX 22 , went and picked up 2 today so we can shoot together . Subscribed and keep up the good work!
Very much appreciated and enjoy shooting!
Never buy two guns at the same time.
@@Azeminad separate transactions and you’re right
awesome
My mom is going to get this but she lives in Seattle Washington she can only have 10rd magazines
I’ve had mine for several years now! Flawless and guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

I love this gun so much that I bought a 2nd, and am ready to buy a 3rd one. It has mostly replaced the Glock 44 as the .22 I use with new shooters.
My Ruger SR22 was my favorite 22 pistol. But now the TX22 is my favorite.
100% a very fun and reliable plinker. Love my TX22.
Thanks to videos like this and my friend’s recommendation, I ordered this last night. I’m going to use it as a training tool for my boys and wife. The wife has a nerve entrapment issue in her arm and had a hard time shooting my 9mm. I believe the tx22 will suit her just fine.

Holy crap! Hope it gets straightened out
All around best 22LR pistol on the market. That trigger is as good as it gets. My Walther PDP's trigger isn't any better than the TX22!!!
Also good for more inexpensive practice and training. Even if recoil isn't an issue ammo price could be.
With 22 one may be likely to practice more.
Absolutely
Ordered mine at Buds, should be getting mine by the end of the week
Enjoy!
Very nice!
I would carry both a 9mm and 22 as a backup
I've been interested in this handgun for some time. I've looked into the Kel tec also. This Taurus seems to always get good to excellent reviews. Three 16 rd Mags and the reliability, and the threaded barrel are great too. Even though I live in NYC and "Silencers " are a major NO-NO.
You can't go wrong with the tx22
only had trouble with Winchester bulk ammo Gun runs most any thing
This is definitely my favorite 22. I wish they'd made more calibers with that trigger.
Maybe in the future with all the positive feedback
Taurus G3 has a pretty nice trigger. It also has double strike capability which makes it nice for dry fire training. comes in 9mm and I believe 40sw. I have the 9mm version. There is 2 versions. One has glock sites and the older model has sites compatible with the T 22. I have the older model. which I like cause you should be able train with a red dot on your tx 22 and then switch the red dot to the G3
Hey dude, I'll have to watch later.
Just saying i love my tx22 compact I tandemize it
I bought a 9mm and with the way ammo prices are I wish I had gone with a 22. I know its less stopping power but money's tight and I need range time practice.
It definitely has its advantages and disadvantages. Plus it's all around fun lol
Hopefully you've got that TX22 by now. I remember my first purchase (40 cal) and I immediately regretted not buying a 9. But within a year I had multiple pieces in multiple calibers. Hang in there and you'll eventually get what you're wanting. Also, this particular 22 (TX) is a beast. I bought one and a few months later bought another.... That's how good it is.
Thank you for reviewing TX22!!!
Do you think Browning BPR 1435 fps ammo will hurt my TX22?
Not at all
I Got one an its the best to star to shooting
I have one that I bought from a friend of mine. It shoots very well. Have not had any problems with it. Very enjoyable to shoot.
Awesome
I have one and i love it alot of people knock 22 for self defense and ima a young dude i have a 9mm as well but i have my tx 22 that i carry on certain days i love mines for sure and people just forget that 22lrs are bullets and not a bb they will kill for sure and they bounce around inside you like crazy i told someone if a 22 can kill a big hog what you think it would do to a human being lol 17 to 5 shots of 22lr is deadly idc what nobody says I love me a 22
Agreed!
Cool video…I need a 22 pistol.
They're tons of fun
Don't have one, Gotta get one now
My experience, Stay away from FLAT TIP ammo. It will jam trying to feed more often than not. Winchester ammo in general is junk.
Federal punch is TOO HOT!! Do not use punch more than a few times.
If you try punch suppressed, it will short stroke, not pick up a round properly and drag that round forward enough to sometimes jam or pick it up, then slam it too quickly forward an it fly off the ramp.
My first gen tx22 had over 5k through it and i had no mag issues, any way i loaded it.
Only issue, the sights....junk.
Yes its the best 22lr fullsize polymer gun in the market todate .
Agreed!
Brought mine home, looked in the barrel and found a piece of zip tie inside. Glad I didn't shoot it straight out of the box.
😲
I want one just never see them on sale. Been hanging around the $360 price where I am in PA….Just seems a tad high for a 22 imo….
Definitely a bit high but honestly worth it if you can get one.
If you figure in ammo costs, you are saving. Firing 300 CCI Minimags 35 bucks with tax.
I just bought one online. Search for one. The prices was $258 but by the time you pay taxes, shipping and FFL fee your just over $300. Good luck…
I like mine alot. Pretty much runs every thing I have put through it so far. Rem golden bullet mostly. And that ammo is crap lol.
Thats what drew me to it. Other handguns are too finicky.
@@Spidermonkey2a They really are. And it's a shame. I do have an lcp 2 in 22lr as well. It will run almost anything too. And it holds 10 rnds but is really small. My wife is very recoil sensitive but it is what she carries. It is very reliable.
Thats awesome
Ive put atleast 2500 rounds through mine, and i have another case for it. Its the best $200 I’ve spent.
Also 16rd magazines only for me!
Taurus is awesome ime/imo.
For $200 it's worth it. It's 299 for me, and I just bought the tx22 compact. It jams rounds into the top of the chamber about 1 in 80, so far 4 different brands in 300. I'm not impressed.
I'm between this and the ruger sr22 which is currently on sale same price out the door , I can't decide and sale ends tomorrow
Tough decision
@@Spidermonkey2a I have both, if I could only keep one? I'd keep the Taurus. (and I'm a big Ruger fan)..
this is a good range gun. with ammo costs through the roof, shooting a 9, 40 and 45 ammo at the range can cost you a couple hundred bucks. with this 22 you can have fun and get your aim down for a quarter of the cost which means you can go to the range more, and take a 22 rifle with you to change it up and still keep the costs low. my 30/30 lever action rifle ammo is about $1.50 per shot now days, makes for expensive days at the range.
Agreed
I hear ya
After a couple of mags, mine has FTE issues.
Well shoot. What type of ammo?
Bought mine a week ago because of a local deal, but so far I am not impressed. I can see all the places where quality was sacrificed to keep the cost down. For starters, the plastic adjustable sights are terrible, mine broke just trying to adjust the windage for the first time. Second, the barrel. My standard procedure for any new gun is to break it down and get in a good cleaning and lubrication before taking to the range, but this barrel is absolute garbage, the rifling is almost nonexistent and there are marks around the inside diameter that looks like machining chatter. Next is the mags, I like the capacity but I don't have much faith in mags with plastic feed lips, they are destined to wear out prematurely and at 25 bucks a mag that is a big bummer. I have a huge stockpile of Remington golden bullets 36 gr HP (got them when the 100 packs were just $2.70 each) and they don't feed, constantly jam either against the front lip of the mag or while riding up the feed ramp of the barrel. I heard these guns run anything with the occasional exception for bullets like this or Winchester. Also, im not sure why Taurus chose to have a 1/10 twist rate barrel in their compact and competition model but a 1/16 twist rate barrel in the full size. Seems like the 1/10 would be the better option so I am glad Lakeside offers a match grade barrel made from a higher quality steel alloy with a 1/14 twist rate. Bit spend but I might have to get it to improve accuracy and prevent keyholing targets. Taurus doesn't even specify what alloy this barrel is made from. But at just under $50 for a replacement barrel, I'm not convinced it is of quality.
Now the pros, it isn't all bad. For the cost you get a very ergonomic high capacity linking pistol with a good source for aftermarket parts (which will be needed for my example to make this cheap deal a decent and fun to shoot gun.). The factory trigger is impressive for what it it is. Had a little bit of mush and gritty less out of the box but I got it cleaned up and running smooth. Tandem Kross offers a lot of nice upgrades including an adjustable flat trigger kit.
I bought this gun because it was cheap, but now I feel a bit burnt that I'll have to invest into some parts to bring up the quality and performance to the point I could have just bought a Sig or Beretta and had quality out of the box. Although the Berreta is good quality, the parts for the M9 22 have been discontinued, so that is a non-starter.
You are doing very well on your video, they're are 2 or 3 black guys I watch but the rest are kinda stupid on they're videos, you are another one I will watch, I'm a 65 year old white guy retired cancer survivor, dont have time for stupid, I'm also a gun collector, semi pro at it, very impressed with you, keep up the good work. Have fun out there, oh I just got ruger mk 4 target bull barrel wow is it nice.
Very much appreciated 🙏
Everybody always dogs on the .22 you know I have killed more things with my bb gun then any of my actual guns. A single .22 round is enough to stop all but the craziest of people.
Not disagreeing at all
My TX22 jams sometimes 5 times per magazine, on all different kinds of ammo, it's pure garbage.
Taurus wanted me to pay to have it shipped to them.
I'll never buy another Taurus.
Sorry to hear that
Are they as good as they say? No! Inconsistent. Mine won't even feed CCI mini-mags - go figure. Very frustrating at the range. I've tried all the magazine tricks on CZcams and no go. I know I will trade it down the road. I don't like guns I can't count on to go bang every time I pull the trigger. Even if you rent one and it works great, there is no guarantee whatsoever your new one will work.
I'm sorry to hear you're having issues. I completely agree and I'm the same way. If it doesn't work properly then it has to go.
not impressed with mine, 10rd mags, wont reliably eject high velocity ammo.. wants to go to the left of the ejector and get caught between there and the in side of the slide
Interesting.....
Cci only 🗑 the cheap stuff
WHY does EVERYONE shoot steel with a .22? Hitting 6 or 8 inch steel is WORTHLESS with a .22 ------ if you're using it for self defense you gotta hit the correct target. If you're using it as a survival gun you gotta hit the target. Paint a squirrel on your steel and show us how far away you can hit it 10 out of 10 times, you know to put meat in the pot! Not trying to be an ass I just would like some real-world info to go on.
Understandable! We were just testing the functionality in this video.
I was shooting steel yesterday, with my new Ruger LCP II, .22 pistol, at 25 yards. My Taurus TX22 is much more accurate and easier to shoot. I like shooting steel because it's fun and I don't have to keep buying targets. If I want to hunt squirrels I use a .22 rifle. I'm not able to post a picture on here to show you but my steel is 8X12 inches and there is nowhere on it you can draw a squirrel that it wouldn't have been hit, although full disclosure, some rounds might have hit the tail, but again, that was with my micro .22 Ruger LCP II!
Look too bulky for EDC
Super fun death dealer🙌🏻
Several times, I noticed you fired just a few rounds and the slide locked open. Were these failures?
No they were just not full mags.
