Excuse me guys, but has anybody had any experience using CCI Quick-shoks? Supposedly, these are like Stingers that are pre-fragmented into 3 sections.

Thanks!

CCI Velositors sounds great. Now I want a new .22 Handgun. Berretta 21A, Walther P22, Or the Firestorm 22 ? I have a Buckmark, a Tauras 94. I had a Ruger and didn't like it.

Great concept, but best left for small game. Not nearly enough penetration to be remotely effective for SD.

I have an old 1976 Ruger new model single six... In a true SHTF situation its the first gun i pack up, 22lr ammo is everywhere, a 22lr is better to hunt small game with than a .40, and in an extreme situation you can walk up on the target and with proper shot placement obtain their firearms... also with its heavy construction and 5.5 inch barel you could literally beat the crap out of someone, after shooting then 6 times and never drop one casing!... the 22lr is the most underrated cartridge of all time

Here's a link to various .22 rimfire preformance including the round you mentioned(Quick-Shok) out of a "mouse gun"

When I was fifteen back on the farm, a thin, sick pig had to be put down. He weighed about thirty five pounds. At fifteen feet with winchester HP .22 I shot him broadside into the classic lung area behind the front leg. I expected him to drop on the spot with my knowledge at the time.
He however then began running frantically in circles in great distress as you can imagine and a half dozen hits later he was still on his feet until a spine shot quieted him enough for me to then humanely dispatch the poor critter.
I am sorry that I ever experimented on a defensless live animal.
I hunt now, with revolvers, but I "use enough gun" and the proper distance and loads to take the game for food in a merciful fashion.
Hopefully the sight of a weapon would deter a home invader and that none of us ever has to face a decision like that.

You're probably the kind of guy who can hit a quarter with that old Ruger at 25 paces

Anybody have 2 inch barrel rimfire revolver pics?

Im laughing my ass off at some of the replies. I have heard more tales of the lowly .22lr being used in SD situations than any other caliber out there. And None that I have heard was You got to hit them in the eye man!

Question Would anyone here want to be shot with a .22lr.. I didnt think so!

I had an older gent tell me that his .22lr revolver was like an extended Ice Pick. Would anyone like to be jabbed with an Ice pick.. Ouch! Aim for the head, center of chest.

The .22lr can and will kill an attacker. So might as well aim for the kill or you will be paying for your attackers disabilities for the rest of your life.

That was pretty funny.

Stick in their ear is even funnier.

and a .45 is the ultimate manstopper. I know a guy that was shot 7 times and is still alive to tell about it. Now thats funny.

**MrMurphy** · 07-19-2008, 07:54

I've seen several people killed by .22. Not the round I'd pick but if it's what's at hand, use it. A 16-round string out of a Marlin Model 60 is better than harsh words, but if I had a choice, any service-caliber pistol, or even better, 12ga or 5.56mm.

bamarammin87 · 07-21-2008, 08:21

Yea. I believe that .22 would do the trick, but I'd rather put 7.62 in em. Or buckshot.

James Markov · 10-01-2008, 22:22

Just picked up a 2 inch Taurus .22 revolver-I love it!!!

If you get a chance, shoot some rounds over a chrono and post the results.

My wife uses a Ruger 10/22 for her HD gun. She has CCI Mini-mags for her round of choice. I am the primary HD weapon. I come armed with a G21sf, Remmy 870 tactical, and a G34 backup. I also come equipped with a lifetime of martial arts training. Something that my wife also comes with.

I have seen what little 22lr rounds can do to someone. They can take down some crazy animals down and I am sure they would work OK for HD, but they are only used in our house as a backup. 50 rounds of lr ammo can still make a BG have a super bad day.

wjv · 10-06-2008, 23:47

If I had to use a rimfire, it would be this one: (Winchester 9422M - .22 Magnum)

Though now days it has a peep sight instead of a buckhorn.

WHEN I ATTENDED GUNSITE TRAINING CENTER THEY SAID:

THE KING OF BATTLE.........SHOT PLACEMENT.

THE QUEEN OF BATTLE......PENATRATION.

ANYTHING ELSE. CALIBER, PRICE OF HANDGUN, BULLET WEIGHT, VELOCITY OF BULLET AND BRAND OF HANDGUN............FAIRYS DANCENING ON THE POINT OF A NEEDLE

A .22 is better than nothing but shot placement really needs to be there for immediate incapacitation and more so than for a larger caliber. A .22 can cause what will eventually be a mortal wound. But the primary reason why one would shoot at someone in self defense and be justified (with LE and local prosecutor) is because the BG is armed with a deadly weapon. The goal is to incapacitate the BG ASAP before a weapon can be employed against you.

I was contemplating an inexpensive .22 revolver for introducing shooting to my wife. Has anyone had bad experiences with a Taurus 94?

bamarammin87 · 11-07-2008, 17:01

I thought this thread was dead. O and the taurus 94 that I shot wasn't very accurate or pretty, but it was functional. I would get a s&w 22a (I did) or a ruger mark 2, the less expensive .22 revolvers aren't very accurate.

soulless · 11-08-2008, 19:17

anyone use a .17 hmr handgun? i think 17 hmr will do more damage than a .22 lr
