Every kid who grew up shooting a 22 rifle knew that it was lethal and adequate for self defense, until some gun salesman or youtuber told them it wasn't. Its nice to see honest people like yourself making vids.

Great video! last weekend we ran a CCMG .22 converter in an AR platform. We ended up shooting about 250 rounds of Remington hollow points. Out of that we had 5 failure to fire malfunctions. We kept all the rounds that failed and reloaded them into a mag and reshot them twice. on the first reshoot 1 fired as advertised, the others, after being struck 3 times each still did not fire. Failure to fire is not unheard of with any round, especially .22 and second everybody should practice clearing the malfunction.

I should have mentioned that. Rimfire can be reliable but not as reliable as a centerfire round. You are absolutely right brother. Clearing a malfunction is critical and should be in everyone's training. Thanks for watching my friend 🙂

I wouldn't hesitate to use a 22 rifle for defense. Growing up back in the 70's we killed a big hog every fall to can and make livermush and a single 40 gr plain ol roundnose bullet from about a foot away would go all the way through the skull and usually end up in the neck. You probably remember that there wasn't any CCIs or hyper velocity rounds back then. We used the cheapest ammo we could get which was usually either Remington or Winchester 500 round bricks. I've taken a couple of deer with a 22 also and when popped in the head they dropped in their tracks. That was back when everyone said that there wasn't any deer left in this part of country and we didn't even have a deer season. Well I lived in the woods growing up and I knew that there was still deer around here, I just didn't tell anybody. If a 22 rifle will drop a 500 lb pig or a big deer with one shot, I'm sure that a half a dozen Stingers in the chest will stop a thug. I've not even got a 22 right now because apparently people think they're made of gold or something. My local gun store is asking $250.00 for a single shot Badger backpack rifle and I can't find a single used 22 in the county. A little single shot is what I want because they're light handy little rifles and fun to shoot. If anybody is stupid enough to try and break in the house there's a pump 12 gauge or 45 acp waiting on them. Us old NC hillbillies don't fool around.

Good tests, thanks for posting! I've been uploading lots of chrono tests/videos of many types of 22LR from my 4" Sig P322 and my 10.5" AR pistol lately. The data augments your video well.

If anybody doubts the effectiveness of .22 lr just upload a video of the Reagan assassination attempt in 1980. The perp (whose name deserves to be forgotten) hit three people with s .22 pistol and all dropped like a sack of potatoes including one highly athletic and highly motivated Secret Service agent. It isn't optimal for sure but if you already got a .22 it is probably better to spend $50 bucks on ammo to practice than to spend hundreds of dollars on a new gun if all you want to do is protect your home. Another great thing about .22 rifles is that they are pretty useless as a crime gun so you don't have to worry about your guns falling into the hands of criminals.

Awesome, I hope you enjoy your new 22 Wildcat 🙂

As always a great video brother. My logic is that a round nose solid usually will penetrate better than a hollow point and with a 22 penetration is the key. Also I think most 22 lr rounds are made with a softer lead so even with a round nose solid you should get a decent amount of flattening out with few exceptions. I've shot every kinda 22 lr ammo under the sun, from higher cost ammo to cheaper cost ammo like remington thunderbolts and found there is very little difference in performance so naturally I stick with the cheapest I can find on a given day. At first glance I thought that rifle was either a remington speed master or field master pump lol. for the people that think a 22 rifle isnt effective they need to examine all the damage John Hinkley Jr was able to do to president Reagan and his security team with a snub nose 22 lr revolver. For those that doubt the reliability of the rim fire primer I may have at best 5-6 rounds not go off per thousand and I think that's pretty good odds. And when you think of it an average 9mm bullets is at 115-124 grains, and 22lr at 36-40 grains, and the muzzle velocity is roughly similiar my idea is that 3 quick shots from a 22 equals one hit with a 9mm with a 22 rifle being quite a bit more accurate. A 22lr rifle in the right hands is a formidable weapon
