    Problems with the Punch ammo in the Beretta (failure to feed, eject) might be due to the light-weight bullet not generating enough of a rearward impulse to push the slide all the way back. The bullet profile looks a lot like that of the CCI Stinger which, coincidentally, is made by the same company (Vista Outdoor). The Stinger bullet is just 3 grains heavier, but the velocities out of a rifle are quite similar - both are easily supersonic. I don't carry a .22LR for personal defense, but if I did, I'd sure want one that was reliable and delivered as much energy on target as possible. The lightweight Punch round beats the heavier CCI Mini Mag bullet in the kinetic energy contest by about 40 ft/lbs, due to velocity. It ought to do well against such menacing varmints as canned sodas, 2-liter bottles, and the occasional rogue tomato. Nice review. Stay safe out there.

      That was a long time ago compared to today's prices. I never plinked a lot. Tried to make every shot count kinda mindset. Still have some of that decades old .22 with the price tags on it (& 30-06). Took my 2 youngest to the range a few days ago. Left the .22 at home. Took the compact 9mm, compact .40 S&W, full sized 9mm, .45 acp 1911, 357 revolver, and the Glock 40 in 10mm. In maybe a little over an hour, blew threw $220. It was very educational as they experinced the different styles, triggers, weights, lengths of pull/ pistol and various effects with bullet types & manufacturers. But I remember standing on the bank, or edge of a corn field at 9 years old for hours loving every minute and maybe spending 10-20 cents.

      Both Federal Punch 22lr and CCI Stinger 22lr use a case that is longer than industry standard for 22lr. That's why the Beretta 21A with it's very short slide travel and tight tolerances has issues ejecting those particular rounds.

    @PassivePortfolios Před 2 lety +5

    Thanks for a very informative review. There is no need for the Federal Punch ammo. It is marketed to sell it at a higher price than regular high velocity ammo with no apparent advantage. The Stingers ran flawlessly through the Beretta 21A but the Punch did not. The Stingers might be cheaper too. The CCI Mini-Mags are definitely cheaper and more reliable than the Punch in the 21A. The Velocitors through the Beretta 21A would make for an interesting comparison but they too are more expensive and harder to find than the CCI Mini-Mags. Are the Stingers and Velocitors worth the extra money compared to CCI Mini-Mags in the 21A? All three run reliably through my 21A so it comes down to personal preference. The Punch is too unreliable to feed consistently through the 21A so it would not be my choice for defensive carry.

I've shot 200 rounds with no issues but I've also shot 50 rounds with multiple failures. So 1% IMHO is a fair estimate. With centerfire I "might" have a light strike in 2000 rounds. So if you we're rolling dice would you want a 1% failure or a .05% failure?

      @@andrewallason4530 Have you ever heard someone say you're lucky. If it were a fraction of an inch more it would have been game over? That fraction is width and penetration. The diameter of a bullet and the depth matter. If you only have the chance to get one good hit do you want it with a 22 or a 9mm. It may appear that that small difference is insignificant but 1 mm in a direction could me the difference of clipping a vital or having little effect. A 22 out of a pistol loses a good deal of power btw. If we are talking rifles, the 22 gap is even more significant. A 223 eclipses a 22.
      The only reason anyone should consider 22 for defense is that's all you have or you have a physical problem that prevents it.

    The best advice you gave was that you should practice with the self defense ammo you intend to carry. Walther P-22 (CA Version) can shoot Aguila 40 grain Hollow Point all day. Load the same pistol with the Punch and I was getting failures to eject. Changed out the Volquartsen extractor and had to change back to the factory extractor. CCI Mini Mags worked fine with either extractor. So for self defense ammo for my 2021 vintage Walther, the Aguila 40 grain HP is the 100% reliable one and the loudest report for a .22 round. Enlightening that the Bobcat would not cycle the Aguila and stuttered with the Punch. While I enjoyed the Ruger 10-22 sequence, the Punch is designed for the pistol. Still, wasn't that sequence nice to see how the Punch was right on target in the hills from the Ruger 10-22. If I had to use the Walther .22 for self defense (it is so concealable and light) I would have to be sure it would fire AND cycle. Your MK II is a classic semi-auto. Very helpful video.

If you do a little research you will discover that .22 LR was the round of choice by Mafia hit men and government assassins alike. It's all about bullet placement. Better choice IMO than .25 auto. Good Vid.

      i converted my three to MK II frames... no mag disconnect, fewer parts... a ting strut support makes takedown and reassembly easy.. i added a Volquartsen DLC bolt, and it just wipes clean

    I got the same results through my wife's Beretta Bobcat. I'm thinking a little polishing might help, but haven't done it yet. The Ruger SR22 and Mk II 22/45 gobble it right up without a problem. The SR22 eats everything, though and doesn't care.

    My Brother bought a few boxes of the Federal Punch 22 and we had tons of failures in every gun we tried it in. M&P 22 Compact, Taurus TX22, Bersa Thunder 22 & a Walther P22. We had much better luck with the Winchester Silvertip 22 although in a defensive situation I would probably use CCI Stinger.

    I’ve done extensive testing on my channel with federal punch from rifles. It offers a nice blend of penetration and damage when fired from 16” to 18” barrels. I also tested it from 24” barrel rifle and 3” barrel pistol. I enjoyed this video but will say I prefer punch 22 LR as a carbine round.

  • @timjacobson1494

    I have shot quite a bit of the Punch in TX 22, S&W 15-22 and Buckmark. I have had no feed issues but did have 1 FTF. I tried the round twice and still FTF. The feed problem with the Bobcat may be because of the longer case on the Punch it is longer like the Stinger case. Great video sir.

    I picked up the NAA .22LR with the folding handle a month ago.
    After several reviews on the revolver and Punch ammo, I got a couple of boxes of the Punch and ran some through the NAA.
    It shoots well in it and accurate at up to 15 yards with the help of the folding handle, which gives me a full 3 finger grip.
    I found out that you don't use the front notch as a sight.
    Just sight down the barrel , like you do with a shotgun and the revolver will hit on target.
    I carry the NAA .22LR on occasion when I don't have a pocket that will allow me to carry my Ruger LCP Max.
    The Punch ammo in .22 LR is impressive.

    The Beretta (I have the Taurus made to replicate it) doesn't like any ammo that has those edges on the lead. It catches the magazine. I bought a 500ct box of hollow point Remington and had the same issues. I had to open up the magazine a little bit and then they fire perfectly no hangups . So the problem is in the magazine. Not the pistol.

    I had the same problem with my beretta 21a, I put around 25 rounds and had many failure to feed issues- the gun is reliable, but the federal punch ammo is too fast and doesn't build enough pressure to cycle reliably. However, I tried the other 25 rounds on my old Walther PP 22lr and the ammo was 100% reliable.

  • @theparalexview785
    @theparalexview785 Před 2 lety +2

    Thanks, saved me some money. Like yours, my Bobcat is picky about ammo types, but very reliable once I find the right ammo. Usually it likes high speed truncated cone copper washed bullets. It tends to jam with target load waxed plain round nose lead .22.

    The barrel length on the semi auto is not measured the same as the wheel gun. The wheel gun will actually have the length of barrel measured while the semi-auto is a combination of barrel and chamber.

    Thank you for making this video. Of course I always want you to shoot .22 ammo reviews out of the TX22 since that's the only 22 pistol I own. I will wait to see a review on that before buying any. I have put every kind of 22LR through my Taurus and it has liked it all. I would love to have the faster velocity of the Punch, but I'm not going to buy any - even if I could find any - until I watch a bunch going through the Taurus. Great video as usual, thank you!

    I also have the Baretta Bobcat. I certainly haven't fired all of the .22lr available. But, the only one that I have found that doesn't give me any problems is the CCI ammo. The Remington ammo I had would jam after every round.

    @dougcutler5404 Před 2 lety +2

    you sold me on the Federal Punch ammo, great review on this sir!...I sometimes have the same problem your Beretta did, hotter ammo kicks the slide faster through its action, not enough time to get the m/t case clear, slide comes back faster and binds it. I blamed excessive gun lub, and dirty slide grooves, nope the ole Blazers get cycled so to make John Browning smile and Stingers or Aguila run hot and catch that case like a center fielder!.... thanks for the great video!

    My Bobcat is finicky. It doesnt mean the ammo is bad necessarily but the federal punch does not run through my Bobcat very well at all. Side note, My bobcat will feed Aquila ammo very well. In fact, mine is loaded with it as we speak. I havent tested the punch in my HD or 10-22 yet.

  • @johnelder4273

    Great review! I am usually disappointed by "boutique ammo".
    I do not miss the summers in the Las Vegas/Henderson area. As a kid I remember looking at the time and temp sign on top of the McCarren Airport Tower (I think, it could have been atop something else) and it was 2:00 a.m. and it was still 104 degrees. It got up in the low 120s that summer. But at least back in the 70s Lake Mead had plenty of water! I don't know what is going to happen to Southern Nevada when the water runs out in a couple of years. I still have friends and family in Vegas. Stay cool Mixup!
    Edit: For some reason I'm thinking time and temp was on top of Binion's Horseshoe. Am I crazy?

And while I'm there, I might as well buy the Ruger Single Six that's been gathering dust in one of their handgun cases for over a year now.

    As I use .22 WMR also I picked up some of that $19.95 !!
    Well that’s the way it is for prices when you can find it !
    Now back to the Federal Punch .22 !
    I like it so far , groups tighter out of my Ruger single six than my 617 !
    Ruger 77/22 it groups well with no flyers !
    Do I carry it on days for my EDC ?yes I do!
