Part 2 of this video series (from a 3" barrel) is up and running- czcams.com/video/62w-kUtfOW0/video.html
I'm a new viewer to your channel jmo you should put the scamer warning at the beginning of the video because another of ppl scip some of the filler great vid though
Don't even need to watch this. .22 mag for distance is good from a five-inch minimum barrel. Anything less it doesn't have time to burn the powder. Anything less than a five-inch barrel is .22lr for close or point-blank fire is good. You can do better with a three inch nine-millimeter. I don't care about your tests. You buy the ammo that you can find at that time. It is entertaining to watch what you do. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for doing this test. Nice to see ammo makers uping the performance of the 22 mag. I love that round, handgun or rifle. Keep up the great work!
compression due to mass of block is less near edges, like lighter water pressure but in a gel... so a shot near the edge of the block has lower density gel on one side and higher on the other, causing it to curve very slightly towards the lower density side, which is the edge... and then it's gone.
Buffalo, we love you Brother. Thank you for such quality content. I very much appreciate your time in preparing, shooting, and editing these videos. I don't think the average viewer understands how much actual work is involved. Keep 'em comin please!
Not to mention $150 for a gel block! I'd likely never witness this testing without ya!
That means a lot! Just to know that some folks understand just how much time and energy goes into a single 15 minute video. I don't call it work because I enjoy it but it is a lot of effort! Again, I appreciate your comment just for the fact that you realize this!
@@buffalosoutdoors i'm surprised that you haven't done a team-up video with Scott from "Kentucky Ballistics" yet, since he's from your neck of the woods anyway
And stop apologizing for "shoddy" camera work! I've seen much much worse. At least with yours it's visible and in focus so the point gets across clearly. Well done!
Great comparison! That Federal Punch 22 WRM really does look like a winner. Now you've got me thinking about a short barrel revolver ;-)
Thanks George! I like those short barreled revolvers especially a lightweight, almost no recoil version that still meets FBI standards for penetration!
@@buffalosoutdoors now do this test in a rifle!
Good video ☝️🙌
@@JohnDoe-sx2zk Agreed. My best home defense gun is a Savage 22 wmr rifle. Home defense against woodchucks raiding the garden, coons and skunks raiding the chicken coop. Best home defense cartridge in my book. For varmints. I use CCI Maxi Mag 40 grain HPs
@@nathanlambshead4778 what about two legged creatures?
Good test! I've been getting a lot of the scammers too. Even after blocking them, others pop up.
Thanks Jeff. The scammers are out in full force. I’ve blocked, deleted and reported but like you say they just create new accounts and there they are again. I don’t stay logged in and usually only get to log in once a day in the evening so if they spam me in the morning it stays up there all day before I can remove it. Some people work harder trying to steal off folks than they would if they’d just get a job.
Yeah I've had those scammers reply to me underneath my comments on both of your channels, what surprisees me is what Buffalo said some people have even sent these scumbags their hard earned money, I'm glad you took the time to draw attention to these scammers Buffalo and warn your viewers not to fall victim to the deception.
Finding them all over doom tube
@@buffalosoutdoors ... Probably supported and endorsed to come at 2A tubers, by the platform being used.
@@buffalosoutdoors Sounds like swatting mosquitoes. You can swat them away but more land on the same spot as soon as you look away.
Outstanding & thorough comparison. This is a comparison I’ve been looking for. Thank you Sir! 👍😎👍
Thanks so much for the comment, much appreciated and I am glad you enjoyed the video!

I have learned so much just by watching your videos.
The little things like opening the cylinder. No voiceover, just a visual about safety.
Truly an enjoyable video.
Thanks, Buffalo.
Thanks! I try to show safe without preaching in my videos. I am so glad to hear that people actually notice that!
Make no mistake, when you pull the trigger, the place to be is behind your shoulder, watching and being amazed! Excellent as always!
As always…your videos are informative and to-the-point…no fancy dialogue or props…thank again…😎
Thanks! Glad you enjoy them!
So glad you're making videos with 22 caliber. You do a very good job explaining things.
Thanks so much for that!
Nice to see Federal is putting in the work with their new options. Thanks for the quality content, Buffalo!
Man not going to lie. When I first started this video I was thinking... someone carries this for protection until I saw results. Shocking to say the least
Solid testing as usual Buffalo. Thanks for putting this together, the 22 Mag punch looks to be a pretty good competitor to the gold standard Gold Dot!
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes it appears that the folks at Federal or CCI or whoever it is that loads this stuff really put some research in it.
Question please. Is the higher power Ammo hard on a smaller firearm.
@@tombrown8829 based on my limited knowledge on the topic I would say slightly more hard on the firearm just like + p or +p plus with centerfire handgun calibers. Probably much less than higher powered centerfire caliber rounds. Additionally based on the fact that most shooters will buy a box of this, go through a couple of magazines or cylinders to confirm functionality and accuracy in their firearm, and then by the grace of God not ever have to use it in a defensive scenario, but be confident in its capability should evil come their way. I plan to purchase some for my 22 mag backup and proceed with the steps described above.
Love that revolver. Good comparison. I shot the Punch into a gallon jug of solid frozen water at 10ft out of a RR 4.75in barrel & it flattened all the petals even with the base. But came up 1/2inch short exiting the back. Either it or Gold Dot are great but the Punch is about $25.99 before shipping. For carry might alternate with both if accurate in Your firearm. Thanks. 👍
Just found your channel, it’s great!
I’m a big fan of the much forgotten.22 mag. Your comparison was fantastic and don’t worry about the video quality. Looking forward to more content! Have a great day!!
I love your videos, they are clear. concise. right to the point with no baloney.
Thanks for that! I appreciate ya leaving the comment!
Man this is some great info and presentation. I worry about over penetration with things like 9mm and recently have been looking into .22LR for a carry gun. These .22Magnum rounds look awesome thanks for sharing.
Winchester silver tips greet if you don’t want deep penetration in 9mm.
22 LR is a mean housecat compared to a mountail lion... 22 Magnum kicks ass compared to the LR
Good content, as usual. I appreciate the straight talk and the lack of fluff that a lot of other channels rely on. Definitely more in the Paul Harrell school of CZcams and I love it. Keep it up!
Very impressive results Buff - these manufacturers are doing a good job with these "carry rounds" eh..- Thanks for doing such a great comparison on range..
Thank you for making these videos for us! I've watched your videos for a long time and have much (earned) respect for you and what you do! I like honest reviews and opinions and not feeling like i'm watching a salesman. Keep up the good work my friend.
Thanks so much Brian! I appreciate the kind words.
Excellent demo! Been waiting for the new Punch load to hit shelves near me. Looks like a winner. It is about the hottest 22 Mag. defensive load I've seen tested.
Thanks. It surprised me at just how easy it trounced my old favorite. The advertised velocity was way under estimated.
@@buffalosoutdoors Hey Buffalo - great review. Where are you purchasing the Gold Dot or the Punch? Have been watching online at the usual places and haven’t seen it pop up. Many thanks!
@@ronwinn879 I bought the Gold Dot locally but the Punch came from the Federal Ammunition web site.
One of the nicest guys on you tube reviewing quality ammo and guns. Fantastic!!!💪🇺🇸
It never fails. You, my friend, are a seasoned professional!! You consistently pound out some of the best videos and always do your research in order to provide us with the most up-to-date information available. You keep doing what you do at that place you go and we will do what we do and keep coming back. Thanks Buffalo!!!
Thanks buddy! That means a lot to me!
That punch ain’t no punk! It’ll sure enough do things to fellers brisket he’d rather not have . Thanks,Buff!
Thanks for doing this video. I’ve been testing federal punch 22 LR a lot lately on my channel. Mostly from rifles though. I thought these 22 mag loads did great from that revolver. Punch did a little better than gold dot. Keep up the great content.
Thanks for the video. I've been to the range twice with my new, 351C. Lots of fun. Pocket holster should be arriving today. I've been looking for Speer Gold Dot and Punch, but haven't found them yet. Been watching their websites. Putting the fabric on the gel was good idea.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Those 351C revolvers are nice. Pocket holster is a great option too.
I really appreciate these comprehensive tests. I would not feel under-armed with either ammo, but I'll definitely be picking up some Federal Punch when I find it.
Camera work to the side, the information that you decimated is what is of value. You, Tools, and Discreet are a gold mine. Got the dots in my three inch lcrx and will stick with those. Thanks much Buffalo
Thanks for the great comment, I appreciate it. You mentioned me in good company, I appreciate that too. I love my 3" LCRX, I might do this same test with the 3" barrel and see what those results look like.
@@buffalosoutdoors your a mind reader too, whaaat!
Both of both of those rounds are pretty impressive out of that short barrel I'm using the one of them That's a very good video keep up the good work
I enjoyed this video a whole bunch. thank you as always Buffalo!
Good to hear that you addressed the scammer. I was skeptical when they told me i was a winner, so i asked to speak to "you" in person. That is when I was told that talking to you in not permitted. I knew the real buffalo would allow a phone call if somebody won a prize.
Very useful information resulting from the comparison of these two cartridges, Buff. Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good show. Thanks for the info. 22 mag is a vicious round for self defense.
I don't normally miss your videos when they come out, I am glad I found this video.
Great test. I really like the short barrel 22 mag idea. You’re doing a great job man. These clips cost a lot of time and effort and we really appreciate the work you do. Thanks man. Keep m coming
Love your channel. Thanks for the no nonsense videos with great information.
Thank you! Glad you like the videos!
Bought a box WMR punch just for two NAA revolvers. I'll probably never carry either, but at least if I do, I know what it's capable of.
...and it's pretty impressive really.
It sure impressed me! Thanks for watching!
These in-depth tests are my favorite videos you do. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these!
Great segment as always, always enjoy your show.👌
I always like watching your tests very interesting my wife wants a 22 magnum carry-on and I’ve been thinking about it thank you for doing this test.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoy the videos! Sounds like you have a keeper of a wife to me!
Flint, when you’re lucky enough to have a wife that wants a carry gun and even knows the caliber, the only words out of your mouth should be “stainless or blued?”. Now get on that and don’t forget to tell us here what she picked! You lucky dog 👍🏼
I noticed the scammers using gun channels over last few months-Glad you gave a warning.
Great job brother, I carry the .22mag 351PD ordered the punch immediately ⚡️⚡️
Thank you buddy 🤝✌️
Great job showing the punch. It really surprised me cause we all know how good the Gold dot has worked. But the punch really held its own. I got a 22 mag revolver for Margaret on law a way. So this has worked out really in good timing. I need to find some now😁. Take care
Awesome buddy! Glad it was good timing. This Punch stuff surprised me. I was biased towards the Gold Dot but the Punch beat it in every category in this test.
Absolutely the best gun channel on CZcams. And you profile guns and ammo I'm most interested in, a big bonus!! I'm just an old country boy too!!
22 wmr self defense rounds are hard to find here in Lubbock Texas. There’s plenty of 22 CCI . I have a Taurus 942 M. 8 shot magnum and I love it. I love the Punch in 22 , 380 and 9mm. God Bless and thanks for all you do
We own a 942, also...currently loaded with Hornady, but we do have a box of gold dots on hand...it is a good little gun, carried often...
Thanks for the video. I had been neglecting my 22lr and 22mag revolvers for a few years, but I have been getting reacquainted with them lately. I have had students in recent years that will never shoot anything bigger, so I might as well set them up with the best choice for self defense.
Great comment Sean. So many people sound off on how this is better than that but you're actually looking at the situation and adapting for the sake of helping others instead of discouraging them. I like that.
The most transparent gun channel. God bless
I used to be very dogmatic about .22 mag not being a good choice for a defense round, but this has made me think a little on my beliefs. The Federal Punch is impressive for a .22 mag.
I grabbed a couple boxes of punch to try out in the Walther WMP I just picked up and I can say it is definitely loaded quite warm. They are clocking between 1350-1400 fps from the Walther's 4.5 inch barrel. Far hotter than any other 22 mag with that weight projectile. Function has been flawless and the terminal performance is about as good as you could possibly ask for from a small bore cartridge. Zero reservations about using them for self defense.
exact same here both the pmr 30 and the wmp loved these federal punch load... n yup zero reservations about self defense from 2 legged predators if it needed and it's all I had ... it's def a far hotter hitter than any other load out there
Never apologize when your doing your best. I enjoy your show.
Interesting differences, and decent performance considering those velocity/weight pairings are about on par with .22lr from a rifle.
Thanks for stopping in! I appreciate it. Yeah that's about right, I am gonna do this with the 3" barrel as well and see how much that changes the numbers. Take care and keep up the good work!
@@buffalosoutdoors you too!
Well done as always, sir. Your videos never fail to be entertaining and informative. I've come to the point in my life that I look at the bookmarks for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney, and HBOMax, then ponder my options. After a few seconds of reflection, I will invariably end up deciding upon: "Nah. Screw that crap. I'ma go watch some more Buffalo." Should probably just get rid of all that other garbage.
I did years ago and have never regretted it...especially the amount of money I saved.
Took me a week to get back to watch this, but I am watching with curiosity as I have a 22WMR LCR and I carry it often. Ironically, I haven't found either of those rounds locally... I usually carry a CCI Maxi Mag hollowpoint, or a winchester Super X semi jacketed soft point (1800 and change from rifle barrel). That speer looks like an awesome round at a glance.
with the extra velocity and weight of the punch, it may be better option... Both seem pretty good to me.
My brother, you just sealed the deal for me to buy a PMR30. I've been on the fence for close to ten years. Good comparison sir.
I thoroughly enjoyed this test. You have a natural and honest gift for engaging your audience. Thank you.
Love the production and presentation of your videos. Always a pleasure to watch.
I think that is really impressive thank you for the video. I mean I got about the same penetration out of 38spl +p Punch wow impressive.
The gold dot has always been excellent and the punch looks even better. I'll try to find some. Thanks!
Really timely for me. I'm waiting on delivery of a Ruger "Super Wrangler" combination revolver, ( .22 LR/.22 WMR ). I use "punch" in my .22LR backup pistol. Now I'll have to get some for the Ruger !
You da best, Buffalo!
The magnum Punch doesn't perform as well as the 22lr Punch does, relatively speaking. The 22lr Punch outperforms all 22lr ammo, but the 22wmr Punch is about the same as every other 22wmr. For 22wmr, Speer Gold Dots for short barrels is King in my opinion.
Great video.
Great test Buffalo, that punch really performed good . Hope you’ve been doing well 👍👍
Thanks man! I have been doing well and staying very busy. I haven't been able to get in the comments as much because I don't get to actually log in very often. I do still read em all though and I appreciate you!
Just want to thank you for the excellent 👍 video.
Appreciate you.
Jim
Absolutely love .22mag I can’t wait to get the new Walther auto pistol in .22 mag that WMP looks cool!! And Federal is killing it with the punch line I carry the .22lr in my LCP2 as a back up.
I’ll bet it will blow the lungs right out of the chest 🤣 Fed Punch looks like it lives up to its name. Well done brother. Good to have a video pop up in my random and rare rotation these days.
Both gave good performance from a 2" barrel. Thanks Buffalo. 👍
The scammers seem to be everywhere lately. some channels I watch have even turned off their comments because of them.
Thanks Gary! I can understand why. I got slammed with emails from folks letting me know about it, I only get to actually log in to YT once a day due to my work schedule and line of work so if a scammer spams my videos in the mornings I can't even start removing their comments until that night.... it's aggravating to have to do that. I block, delete, report but they just create new accounts faster than I can ban them. Take care my friend!
@@buffalosoutdoors Sorry this is happening so much, Buffalo. It's everywhere, on virtually every channel I watch, whether it's a gun channel, or fishing channel or tools channel (y'know, all the important stuff)
And thanks for the effort you put into your channel, along with your other work and family duties. I always wait for your new videos.
That 45gr bullet is moving pretty good. I wonder what it would do out of a 3 inch barrel
I did enjoy the video! And I appreciate hanging out on the range with you! I lol’Ed when you said “ I wouldn’t call it sticky just a little stiff. Great information.
Had to watch twice-was distracted by the beauty of the Gel!
Yep I had someone contact me through the comments saying I won a gun and wanted me to pay for shipping. Glad you mentioned that in this video.
Enjoyed the video. Your camera work wasn't as bad as you think. You kept on target and didn't let the camera veer away; good job there.
I also have an unfired Smith 352pd seven shot 22mag as a carry gun along with two other larger caliber pistols. I wanted to keep the 22mag unfired, mint. So glad I found your comprehensive and very informative video, it removed any doubt I had about my very lightweight revolver. I find myself choosing the lightweight 22mag as a primary carry piece over my Glock 48 or Smith 640. Anyway, good work, great clarification and excellent video.
Excellent video. I have yet to get my hands on Federal Punch, but from what you've shown here I'm going to be on the lookout for it.
Great tests and good accuracy out of both ! You could carry either round and you would be okay !
The Speer Gold Dot I’ve shot since 2016 and like it ! I carry it !
Outstanding Job I like the
22LR Federal punch .I am going to give it a try in the .22mag.
I liked the comparison with the added denim. Thanks for video
Nicely done, Sir. Practical information that means something in a real world situation. Thanks!
I always enjoy your videos. I hope someday to meet you in person. You are a real stand up guy. Please keep up the good work you do.
Thank you I appreciate the kind words.
Always great to see your videos Buffalo. I wanted to let you know that I haven't been receiving your notifications for a while now. I don't know if it was just a glitch or if other folks have had the same issue recently. I just wanted to let you know in case your views have been down a bit, etc.. Anyway, I'll be on the lookout but I hope the notifications start working properly again. Yes, I know how things go with channels that show certain content but I don't think you push the limits too much.
The Federal Punch was pretty impressive, thanks for the video. Great stuff as always. Hope all is well with you and the family. God bless and stay safe.
Pretty impressive performance from the Punch.
Some of the clearest gel I've ever seen. Good job
Great review Buffalo, them Boo lots are screamin out of that little barrel
I couldn't believe how hot they were, with the heavier bullet I expected a drop in velocity not a gain. Color me impressed! Thanks for watching!
@@buffalosoutdoors your very welcome. I watch all your videos. Love your content. Keep up the awesome work
Nice review! Thanks for that information I bet it would do pretty good in the NAA Pugs with the 1 inch barrel too. Obviously not as good but maybe 150 FPS slower.
great demo 1st time I have watched one of your videos thanks
Every test I’ve seen of the punch has shown it to be a very impressive and consistent performer.
I’ve been trying to get my hands on a couple boxes but they’re really hard to find right now.
Very nice informative video. Thx for taking the time buddy.
I wonder how they would do in a little longer barrel like a Heritage?! Great Video
Great videos... I mostly watch because your deep south accent is awesome.
Hey Buffalo, my 1st time on your channel and I liked what I saw. You gave an honest presentation and opinion on these products. I'm impressed! I subscribed and will follow you.
excellent review, exactly what I was looking for with the 351c and ammo and you answered every question I would have, thank you.
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! A lot of folks underestimate the effectiveness and stopping power of some well placed 22mag defensive rounds!! Great job on providing useful info Sir!! New fan here!
Thanks, I’m sold on the punch.
Good job, as usual.
Love that beard growing.
Great job. I'm with you. kinda hurt to see the Gold Dot beat, But, it was for sure. Nice shooting from a short barrel, fixed sight.
Yeah I fully admit to being biased toward the Gold Dot, I've used it for years and it's always performed well. I'd still recommend it to anyone looking for a good self defense .22 mag load but this Punch stuff won this particular test hands down.
thanks man, well done, clean, honest.
Another good Buffalo 🐃 video ! 🖐️👍
Awesome and thorough as always!!
Thank you!
Well when I can get this. Will be in my Pmr-30. Thanks Buffalo!
Sir you have the spam bot in your comments, Saturday night. Not good. RUSSIAN or Chinese. Whatever??
First time viewer, really enjoyed your video, getting ready to watch part 2. I'm subscribing now.
I love that little 351c.
Thanks
Great test! Going to have to find some Federal Punch.
That was very interesting it's amazing the difference in penitration . Dead eye peat with those snubbies. Yes I received one of those notifications I promptly deleted it, crazy times.
Thanks for tuning in! Glad you enjoy the videos and glad you deal with the scammers properly!
