Is 22LR a VIABLE self defense option?
Vložit

- There are a few things you want in a self defense situation. Arguably, most important is reliability. It doesn't matter what you carry if it doesn't go boom every time. What caliber people carry is another story, but for those that want to carry, is the 22 a viable option?
We'll explore more into this topic in terms of power of the federal punch (I know, I know) as time goes on.

Yes, .22lr is viable for self defense .
I asked my local medical examiner, what round do you remove most from gun shot fatalities. Without hesitation, the answer was .22lr.
Very interesting from the ME
Most criminals use the 22LR because its quiet and recoil is light and they can fire multiple rounds at one time and maintain target.
Try that on a 9mm or 45 .....
That's the best demonstration of the biggest benefit of 22lr - Tons of lead down range, fast follow ups, high accuracy, low recoil. Boom. It's like a swarm of angry hornets coming at you, anyone would run away from that.
One of my customers got shot with a 22LR and he said it felt like 2 wasps stinging him at the same time and it hurt like a M'er F'er and stopped him immediately because of the "sting" burn.
Luckily it didn't hit anything major so he was ok but he said, he would never want to go thru that again.
I can tell you from personal experience that i got stung by 2 wasps at the same time because i felt the 1st and the 2nd one immediately after and i can say that STOPPED me in my trail FAST because it HURT and BURNED.
i really dont give 2 shits what people say about 22LR, its cheap, lightweight and i can lay shots and stay on target.
By the time the "average" person can lay down two 9mm or 45 or 10mm and keep ON target, the 22LR shooter will lay down 3
In my experience, good name brand tried and true 22lr ammo rarely fails....CCI has never failed me over thousands of rounds....I keep my guns clean, which I think helps.....would still always take 9mm over a 22 though... great video!!...👍
I would 100% take at minimum a 9mm over a 22LR as well
I helped my neighbor get her first carry gun. It’s a Taurus Tx22. The trigger pull on a revolver was to much for her. Other semi autos she couldn’t rack the slide. Then she shot my Tx22 and loved it. I gave her a box of CCI Stingers to use for carry ammo.
Exactly the reason I made this video 😎
Great straight to the point no nonsense review on the
22lr for self defense! With a good tried and true 22lr, good
ammo, well maintained and good shot placement...
A 22lr can be just as effective for self defense as any other
caliber. And any caliber other than a 22lr can be ineffective
with bad shot placement, poor quality and poorly maintained.
Just my opinion.
Great demo.
Stay safe and healthy.
Peace
Late to comment: But...if your cutting firewood, which implement will you pick? A splitting axe? A camp axe? Or a hatchet? No matter what at the end of the day...Wood will be cut! But you can’t make that choice not knowing what the specifics are. So...best case scenario, have something.
I have to say that yes it is. At the end of the day its really about shot placement. I had a coworker at a part time who was a .45 guy and everything else was crap…. I told him what was the problem with 22 and he said that shit ain’t going to do anything. I looked at him and ask him if he’d have a problem with me shooting him with a 22? He gave me the look….
🤣🤣🤣🤣 solid comeback
If it's option or preference is irrelevant carry what your comfortable with. I prefer the .45 because even a meth head cant walk w/a perforated spine.
3 well placed 22 rounds will change the course of the Recipients life 🤔💥💥💥
Nice video. I use federal punch myself and I feel it’s a viable option for self defense. I prefer something larger but it should be fine.
It's a good option when you just can't do anything like a 9mm or larger
i carry a 22lr,i dont think many people want to grt shot,plus im pretty accurate with it,thanks
The short answer is absolutely. In fact, I prefer my Glock 44 for concealed carry because I don't miss with it and it is so light that I barely notice it's there. CCI Velocitor is no joke, although I have yet to try the Federal Premium Personal Defense. Adding to cart now.
CCi velociter is the way to go
A female friend who is recoil sensitive just picked up a SR22 from Ruger. She uses Punch as her defense round. Her hands can't handle .380 or 9 recoil on snappy little subcompacts. She's happy with. 22lr
If it's all I could do, then I'd be happy with it too
I have always thought that a 22 lr was better than no gun. I prefer 9 mm . Thanks for the video.
Oh yeah, definitely better than nothing
A 22lr was all my 100lb wife could rack, shoot, and load efficiently. After a few years she could shoot higher calibers, but still could not rack or load them. Use what works for you.!
Gotta start somewhere!
I think with a platform that you can put a lot of shots on target with, it is, Like your dedicated AR or any magazine fed 22lr rifle that will send the rounds at higher velocity. Some meth-head will need a bunch of shots center mass or in the head to go down based on what some say.
I keep my 22lr conversion kit in my 556 AR ready at home because I would never use 556 in a “bump in the night situation. My 12 gauge with buckshot won’t be much quieter but I think it’s likely to neutralize a threat with fewer shots
Is 22LR a VIABLE self defense option?
Volunteer and let us know
It is a shame the 32ACP has been so neglected. It would be the ideal step up for those that can not handle a 9 or 380. My wife used to shoot a 9mm but age has take it's toll. She is very good with a 22lr pistol or rifle.
So far the best test 22l test so far
100%
Another thing I feel is becoming a thing these days as im one of them, i carry a proven reliable ruger lcp 22lr edc. Its not my back up, its not because its all i can handle shooting. I dont have debilitating authritis, im not old, crippled, handicapped, gun shy, noise, or recoil sensitive. Im an overgrown galoot 42 year old 6’4 380 pound towboat engineer/diesel mechanic. I carry this pistol in 22 because i can hit with it, its reliable, tho i initially had to make it that way, galloway precision helped, and if it werent for the absolute comfort and discreetness of this pistol i would not carry anything. I get up in the morning and get dressed, i grab my wallet, keys, snuff, pocket knife, and lcp off the top of my safe and put them in their appropriate pockets. That is where it stays all day until i disrobe in the evening. It is on me if im wearing anything more than underwear all day everyday. I’ve received zero unwanted dirty looks or conversations about it when im forced to mingle around in public as nobody knows ore would even expect i have a gun on me. Thats what does it for me. Is a 22lr as effective at shutting someone down as my 500 magnum… absolutely not. Would it put someone down or atleast cause them to reevaluate their life choices if need be? I believe so. In the off chance it didn’t i feel they would be deminished enough i could either get away, or transition to less human options such as my knife or fisticuffs if need be. I’ve received copious amounts of crap from my buddies for carrying a 22lr. Ive had discussions with them about the shortcomings of such an anemic cartridge compared to the far superior ballistics of their 9’s, 40’s, and 45’s in their nightstands at home while im standing there patiently listening with my 22 on my person. None of these guys have ever carried those superior calibers a minute of their lives, closest they get is in the glovebox of their vehicles. Ive shot more rounds through my edc in a day than all of them combined in their lives. Ive shot more 22 lr all told than what was expected total in some wars throughout my life im certain of it. My first rifle consistently ate 2 bricks of thunder bolts a week from the age of 8-16, ive no clue how many more ive added to that from 16-42. Alot, but definitely slowed down as life got in the way. What ever 3 firing pins, 2 lock up mechanisms, 2extractors, and 3 takedown pins are worth on a 1963 winchester model 250. What im saying is i fully understand the capabilities and limitations of a 22lr in both a pistol and rifle, and it does just fine for me. Those federal punch are my carry ammo for my pistols. I cycle them out every couple days at a 6”gong 40 yards off my back porch to keep fresh unsweated on ammo in my gun, i also clean it on roughly the same regiment as the sweet smell of hoppes no 9 is my weakness. Do with this what you will, make your own choice, im just saying it work’s exceptionally well for me, and i think it could be a viable solution to more regular folks than they realize.
It sounded like your trigger finger started to run slow on that last magazine.
My trigger finger definitely got tired at the end of that 🤣
Very cool video Andrew. I have a bunch of punch! Ha Ha! Very reliable ammo. Look forward to every one of your videos! Keep them coming!
Thanks Charlie!
Sixty through my Rurer SR22 with no misfires.
The punch is solid!
Since you are a nurse ask the ER dept what a .22 will do to the human body ,
A 22LR thru the eye, thru the heart or thru a major vessel will definitely stop the other person. But if you don't hit anything vital, they'll probably keep going. But another thing to think about is criminals prey on the weak. Once they see an opposing obstacle, they'll usually cut bait and walk away
Federal Punch and CCI Stingers or Velocitor for 22lr. For 22WMR Federal Punch or Speer Gold Dot will do just fine. Any of these rounds out of a rifle for defense is devastating particularly the 22WMR which has the same muzzle energy as a 9mm for a rifle length barrel.
People say ideally you want a 9 or higher. I would say the 22lr hitting a vital, is the same as any pistol caliber hitting a vital. When it comes to a pistol caliber, regardless of which caliber it is, you have to hit vitals to incapacitate. All pistol calibers simply poke holes. A bigger hole may bleed more, but if the hole is not in a vital, it does not matter. Penetration matters. Federal punch 22lr will perform to FBI standards out to 40 yards out of a LCR. So the question then becomes, do we really need more?
Number 2 buckshot weighs 30 grains, same as one pellet of Federal Punch LR. So, a good argument can be made that 25 rounds of 22 will be more than effective.
We rarely carry .22lr, but it is plenty for most situations...heck, some days a 16 inch naval gun wouldn't be enough...a gun, of any caliber, only gaurentees a chance, not the outcome...
with good ammo and a solid pistol or rifle the 22lr can absolutely do the job. i would like to try the punch ammo but have lots of cci mini mags and stingers. some bulk stuff goes into my revolvers to save money on shooting.
Even subsonic cci will do the job.
@@Catgat37 I have some,and,shorts also.
Wife carried a gsg 22lr for her grocery getter gun then she got a 5 shot S&W Airweight .357 was the gsg reliable 100% w/good ammo.
Nice upgrade!
Andrew - thanks for all your videos. What is the brand of AR-22? - HK-416? Thanks
I built it myself with a cmmg dedicated 22LR bolt and barrel kit
@@andrewmconrad Thanks Andrew.
Have you tried the Cmmg 22lr conversion kit in your AR yet I got one came with 3 mags from pallmeto state
Not yet, but it's on my list of something to get
I just got one pretty recently and it works great - I had a couple malfunctions in 150 rounds of Federal Automatch which can certainly have some weak rounds. Hot ammo obviously runs better. I thought it wouldn’t have any recoil at all, kinda like an air rifle, but you actually get some pop, it is really cool - I just have an ordinary trigger but a faster trigger would be even cooler
Maybe those people will change their minds about the lowly .22LR for defense when they get hit with one .
what upper is that on the fde?
But I #one go to is my .40 or my long colt .45
45 LC as a carry option or home self defense?
I should have went out plinking today. Damn it.
Plinking > not plinking
😉
What carbine are you using?
I built that ar22 myself. I have a few videos on it on my channel
Is that a Mossberg ?
I built the 22LR AR, and the pistol is a Sig p322
The .22 in your pocket beats the .45 left in your gun safe because it’s too heavy.
Just ask the Mob
I wouldn't want to be shoot with it. its all about shot placement and 22 is better than a pointy stick..........just saying
I will say he'll yes it is that is way I have 1.000.00's of rounds in a ammo can and that I am not joking about and I just keep on buying and add to the ammo can ........
Always buy
Better than a sharp stick.
Yep. Or if you're Bruce Willis in Die Hard 2, you can use an icicle
Like I always say a gun is better than no gun
#facts
Why not at least go with 5.7x28mm😉.
9mm in a PCC is what I recommend if you need a gun for home protection but never train.
So you are arguing that 22lr is a viable option if you train a lot? 🤔
@@Catgat37I would only use .22 if I had no other option. 5.7x28 is a step above .22 for sure. 9mm from a PCC with HP’s is best for most people because it’s an effective round, recoil is low, mags are hi capacity. With little training anyone can defend their life with an AR9 imo.
@@derek3154 yeah 9mm pcc is a good choice. I would absolutely trust my life with my new Umarex Mp5 22lr. Thing runs like a champ. And I have had more failures with 9mm than I have had with it. I can mag dump all 25 rounds into a 3 inch group with iron sights. If I feel a situation merits it, I got my 870 ready to rock with 00 and slugs. And my Zastava is always on standby. I train a lot and I have had a lot of experience with most handgun calibers. I find 22lr to be a viable option. But people absolutely have to put their guns through their paces and find what ammo works best for their firearms. And then train, train, train.
President Brandon approves of this message 😂
President Biden doesn't know who President Biden is 🤣
F' CZcams for deleting my comments
For self defense? A well place sling shot can kill someone... doesn't mean it's good to use. The lightest load I shoot is 147 grain Holopoint 9mm +P for self defense. I would not use 22lr.
True about the slingshot. I'm not gonna use a 22LR either. 9mm and up. Ultimately I want to carry something larger than a 9mm
@@andrewmconrad 💯
I think the question is weather.22 is effective or not....it certainly is effective. From the studies actually done on this, it's shown to be as effective as any other round at stopping an attacker.
Anything is better than nothing
#truth
No, Biden says it's 9mm.
And Dipshit still doesn't realize the AR-15 shoots a .22 cal bullet. Come on man!!!
He said a 9mm will blow the lung right out of the body , I want to know what 9mm does that
@@Bob-lq9ys Don't know, but I'm buying one of those lung-bursting guns tomorrow.
Biden is not smart and that was a terrible statement
Way to ruin the joke, lol
