Coronavirus/Covid-19, Tulsa, OK. Followup, 3/11/2020.
This video is a followup to one I did on the 7th of March. I am following how local stores are handling keeping up with increased demand for some essentials.
A couple of days ago a second Covid-19 case was announced in Tulsa. The Health Department is stating that they expect to have more cases.
Several schools in the area have announced closings. The University of Tulsa is essentially closing their campus and asking students and teachers to have their classes online for a while. Other schools are announcing similar policies for the near future.
This video tracks a quick trip to our local Walmart Supercenter. Things are similar to how they looked 4 days ago with some deterioration.

Coronavirus/Covid-19 Hits Tulsa! Panic Buying in Local Stores?!
Просмотров 7204 года назад
Late last night the Governor of Oklahoma announced the first confirmed case of the Coronavirus/Covid-19 in the state. A person who travelled to Italy brought back the virus to my hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Health authorities are now trying to trace anyone who may have come in contact with him. I thought it would be educational to track in real-time the public's reaction to the announcement. I...
Fixing a Backflow Preventer Valve, My $1,000 Plumbing Oops!
Просмотров 804 года назад
About 18 months ago I had a garden area between two patios filled in with concrete to make one large patio. I did an oops and didn't realize that there was a good reason to leave that particular area as a garden. Right below the surface in that garden was the sewer line cleanout! It also covered over a part of the sewer line that I need to have repaired and replaced. All told I'm having to spen...
Glock 44 and Taurus TX 22 testing round 2, did not go so well.
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.4 года назад
Took my Glock 44 and Taurus TX-22 to the range for some more testing. Last time out, the Glock worked like a champ. Had only 2 dud rounds in 1240 rounds fired - no other failures. This time ... not so much. I took both guns to the range to do some concentrated testing with various bulk, 36 gr, hollow point ammunition. In general, I think both guns work much better with 40 gr, round nose ammunit...
Taurus TX-22 Sticky Magazine Fix

One of my 6 Taurus TX-22 Magazines wasn't quite working correctly. The follower was 'sticking' and causing rounds not to feed smoothly. This is what I did to fix it.
Taurus TX-22 Magazine Lubrication For Reliable Operation
Просмотров 33 тыс.4 года назад
Had a couple of failure to feeds yesterday at the range with my Taurus TX-22. Further examination suggests to me that: 1. I didn't pay close enough attention to loading the rounds and relieving 'nose dive' in a couple of mags. Once I paid closer attention to this I had no more failures. 2. The troublesome magazines were not doing a good job moving the follower without excess friction. I went ho...
Glock 44 and Taurus TX 22 Lead Fouling
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.4 года назад
After taking my Glock 44 and Taurus TX-22 to the range, I found a huge amount of lead fouling in my barrels. This video shows some of the lead and what I did to clean it out.
Make your Glock 44 22lr run better, 1240 rounds tested, only 2 failures.
Просмотров 51 тыс.4 года назад
In this video I describe what I did to make my Glock 44 into the most reliable 22lr pistol I own. I tested these steps by firing 1,240 rounds at the range. At 500 and 1000 rounds I ran a swab over the feed ramp and up the barrel with some light oil/cleaner. I tested with a variety of mostly bulk and some premium rounds. Here is the list of rounds that I fired: 10 CCI Velocitor 40gr HP 1435 FPS ...

    I have a new TX22 pistol that I purchased for my wife to practice and become familiar with full size pistol "feel" that suffers failure to feed, right out of the box. I have since disassembled mags, used my Dremel and Flitz paste with a wool polishing wheel on the top areas of the ramps. I cleaned the insides and removed sharp edges of mags, then used my 3in1 lock dry lube for repair and ability to feed the Federal truncated Spitfire rounds, plus all others so far. I recently also purchased a Taurus G3C pistol and discover that Taurus ships their pistols out Filthy inside, with plenty of flawed workmanship issues. The ergonomics of Taurus pistols are to die for, their quality control and customer service is Nil. I also had to replace the factory extractor with the Tandem Cross Eagle Talon unit to remedy lack of cycling and extraction issues for all ammo. My friend who I go to the range with has 2 TX22s, one the Competition model and they both work flawlessly. The TX22 keyholed rounds in the paper target initially, but fixed itself after about 100 rounds.I would pay more for a pistol that practiced quality control, as my Ruger, Colt, S & W, Daewoo.

    I bought a glock 44 a couple days ago and I love it. Somehow ended up getting two glocks that day because my backround check was delayed and when it was proceeded I went to pick it up and the computers were glitching and I had to wait. Thankfully it was only like 20 minutes tops but the guy saw me looking in the case and he’s like you wanna see anything? And I was eyeing a glock 17 I really liked(don’t hate me but my dream gun has always been a glock 17) but didn’t wanna get another delay and have to wait to pick it up. The guy said since I was picking up a gun and passed the 4473 they could just add another gun to the transfer if I wanted…really shouldn’t have told me that lol so I got the glock 44 i initially bought and was able to pickup a glock 17 gen 3 that has a CTC grip laser that pretty much meant after the discount I bought a laser sight that came with a Glock attached. I’m also really excited to get the Glock 44 on the range because my mom’s been wanting a gun for self defense. She really likes my ruger lcp2 .380 because of the size but when I shot it last week the recoil wasn’t horrible or anything but it’s soo small I can only shoot one shot before having to reposition the gun in my hand so I’m hoping the 44 will be easier to handle. And yes I know .22 isint ideal for self defense but how many people have you seen see a person pull out a .22 and say o it’s okay that won’t hurt me lol

    I guess for the price point compared to other .22 semi's people don' t think they should have to mess with a finicky magazine . I for one must not be that guy . After watching reviews I still bought the glock .. just 120 rnds down range with various ammo. 2 stove pipes( sounded like under powered ammo). But I did like you mentioned as well as the user manuals mentioned!! Clean the gun before use..

    I have tried every fix on youtube and still had problems with certain types of ammo. He is correct on hollow points being most problematic although round nose wasnt perfect either. I started out by polishing the ramp. Still problems. Then lightly chamfered the edge of the chamber all the way around and polished the edge. Still had problems. I bought special brushes to clean the mags. This helped a lot but still some problems. I noticed that malfunctions did exactly what G&P said with the round hitting the front of the mag and the slide hitting it and bending it while putting a notch in the lead. This happened mostly in the first 3 rounds. I studied the magazines and the rounds in the mag and how they were positioned, especially at the top 3 rounds. The rims on the rim fires would stick in the top edge of the little slots at the top of the mags. I took a dremel small metal cutting tip, loaded it in the dremel extension tip without the extension cable being in the actual dremel. I then inserted it into the top inside slots on both sides, and spun it by hand to take that edge off to taper it for the round case lip. I cleaned it with the brushes and put them back together. I have 5 modified and 5 not. The nots would still malfunction every now and then. The modified ones NEVER malfunctioned and I shot them as fast as I could pull the trigger with every kind of ammo I had. If it was going to malfunction it was usually when shooting fast. Maybe one of you can tell me what is the purpose of those slots? Another thought I had was to put a piece of tape on the inside over the slots and fill the slots from the outside with plastic epoxy. Until the chamfer malfunctions Im going to stick with that for now. The slots might be there to help with the double stacking and feeding. Sorry for the longwinded post.

    The fix for me after cleaning with other lubes several times seemed to finally be ballastol and rinsing with warm water since the mag is almost entirely polymer. Leave the spring dry and assemble the mag dry without any lubricants and it began working for me. Your mileage may vary but it got me up and running.

    That is ugly and the reason I do not use lead bullets. 45 years ago I had no choice but to shoot lead bullets for training and qualifications in my .38. I had to use a Lee Lead remover every day to get the lead out of the barrel.

  • @GWillWin
    @GWillWin Год назад

    Seen too many videos of people complaining about this gun and not offering any solutions. After watching a lot of videos by common sense folks like yourself, on the G44, there is a common solution similar to exactly what you are saying. Clean it up before using, pay attention to how the mags are loaded and it is very reliable. I do get some issues with Winchester wildcat ammo but every semi 22 I own has the same trouble with that ammo. I typically shoot the cheapest bulk ammo i can find on sale and with the Winchester exception my G44 runs flawlessly and it is one of my fav gun to take to the range. My G44 is very reliable.

  • @jh8338
    @jh8338 Год назад

    I milled relief cuts into the magazines and have never had a first-round feed problem since. The cuts allow the rounds to kick out more at the rear of the rounds, which keeps upward pressure on the front of the round. Why Glock failed to include relief cuts on these mags is a mystery to me, every other manufacturer does it with their .22LR mags, just look at the TX22. 16 round mags, it CAN be done.

  • @netravler1
    @netravler1 Год назад

    One key is, when loading the mag, after you've filled the mag, pull down the spring on the mag, then give the mag a little shake with the bullet noses pointing up. This allows the rims to settle side to side in an offset figure. Because the 22 LR is a rimmed cartridge, they need to set staggered rim to rim for proper feeding. Once you do this, look at the cartridges in the mag and you'll see what I mean. Give them a slap to set the cartridges back like normal, and you're good to go. Once I did this, any issues I had went away. And I've shot every kind of ammo you can through mine.

    Any lubricant in a magazine always a bad road to go down..lubricants prevent shell casing from completing full gas sealing in chamber at moment of ignition. Results ingas blowback and throat damage to gun. Lubricants also attract dirt and grit which acts like a grinding paste in a gun actuon.Always run mags clean and dry, never introduce any lubricant into gun chamber.🤠🤠

    First time owner, but made the decision to purchase based off seeing that my family was able to handle it comfortably, with no issues, and also finding it to be a LOT of fun to shoot. What this video (and several others) have cemented in my mind however is the importance of keeping it clean---Would I be wrong in saying that 22lr should be cleaned more often vs other round types?

Take care of the gun and it take cares of you. Thank you for leading me to make a more informed decision on my purchase. Any tips on accurately cleaning the firearm, there plenty of videos on how to disassemble but I love your explanations and would love tips.

    I bought mine the week it was released. It ran very rough for the first 1000 rounds. Literally 3-4 failures every magazine. I tried cleaning it before use to no avail. I noticed that the problem was particularly bad when I used any cartridge under 40 grains. Then all of a sudden, the failures stopped. I have close to 6000 rounds thru it now with 100% success. Excluding the first 1000.

    I'm in total agreement with you. I'm also amazed at how many reviewers proclaim that they've not cleaned their guns for "X" number of rounds. That's a tacit admission of their ignorance, laziness or just plain stupidity. Having had many guns which suffered from "bad" reviews which have worked as untended I have become suspicious of the motives of some reviewers. Glock in particular recommends cleaning every brand new gun before using it and after a certain number of rounds have been fired. Many people either don't or can't read the manual. Same goes for the loading procedure for the magazines. Your method seems to work very well, but Glock's recommended procedure also works very well. Great insight!

  • @kaitoshijo

    I have been using Thunderbolt as well. I noticed that same issue you describe the first time I was loading the mags. Another solution that I found to this problem was to only pull back on the magazine tabs enough to allow the bullet to slide in. I noticed that if you pull the tabs all the way down and load then the bullets don't seat quite right. I had almost no issues with the Thunderbolt rds. I cleaned out the barrel but left all of the factory lube as recommended in the manual.
