Archaeologists are going to wonder what battle was fought in your yard.

But since no battle was fought there nor is there historical significance, they wont be digging.
+ZIGMAN775 why so serious? lol
It was very one-sided.

This deserves to be said, The Camera Man does an Excellent Job!
O yeah, great job always
There probably be no show if it wasn't for the camera man. I think its his son which is cool
It's his son, John. They have another channel "hickock and son" where you can see him.
Mod.2
it's more fun for me to imagine that it's his wife who isn't allowed to talk
This was my first firearm. I purchased it for plinking and to introduce my son to shooting. My only firearm experience before was military. I love this gun, and because of it fell in love with the Ruger brand. This was a way better use of my time than watching Netflix. 😊
First gun I shot was a ruger 22lr revolver
i bought this gun to teach my mom to shoot and she still shoots it. 3000 + rounds and any weird things was caused by ammo im positive of that big box winchester and federal caused the bobbles. I got her some 22 stingers for it as well and it shoots like a dream.
I hope you've gotten a Mini 14 by now..
I have a Ruger AR556, great rifle, I've since kitted it out quite a bit and it would be my go-to in a SHTF situation.
same here but i was 13 and broke and it was all i could afford at the time
I shot 500 rounds of Remington Viper Hyper Velocity today...no fail to load, no fail to eject and no stovepipes. 100% perfect.
First time gun owner. This is my first firearm. I've been having a blast with it.
Ehhhhh what you did there... I see it
@@SP-qo1so he's probably a pro now. His comment was 7 years ago.
@@op8995 now he's John wick
How has it lasted after all these years? Worth a buy?
@@karnkraftverk if you're thinking about getting one.. BUY IT! They are fantastic little guns
I always rely on your knowledge of firearms before I purchase. The vid is 5 years old, but the experience is long lasting. Getting into small caliber target clubs and thanks again for your thoughtfulness and sharing of the workmanship.
Five years later again I am to relying on his video before I purchase
Just received my SR-22 yesterday. Replaced guide rod & spring (Galloway). Greased slides & Rem oil on rest. Out on the range today. 30 feet distance. 1 ft targets.4 new mags. 5 different types ammo - CCI-SV, Rem-Thunderbolt, Rem-Golden, CCI-HP, and 50 very old rounds??? 232/250 on paper. No failures. No problems. Not bad for a 63 year old newbie shooter. Read every thread, review and you tube videos before I chose the Ruger. So far I am in plinker heaven. Heading out to the range again tomorrow !!!!!
Ruger makes good stuff. There is something neat about watching a really good shooter enjoying a 22.
If you slide on niqqas with a sr22, will they most likely die from 2-4 shots to the stomach, chest or shoulder??
I am a Brit and I live in the wilds of Scotland or as we call it, God's own country. (I wish that we could have guns here).
However, when I see your videos I wish that I lived in the USA.
God bless and keep on shooting.
A 50Cal would be good... Thanks for a good chuckle my friend.
Know how you feel I live in the wild west of Ireland I have two 12guage shotguns for hunting but it's expensive to get into. 22 pistol shooting here and very strict
Agent Bertram ...Guess that's why you're called Subjects. Being a peasant in a Monarchy is too 1600s for me
You can't own any guns where you live?
Agent Bertram Same here my friend I live in Australia and it is so frustrating that our government have there heads up their arses.
Bought my 15 year old daughter one of these Ruger SR22 today as a Christmas gift after watching your review last night. Should be a great gun to introduce her to the world of firearms. Can’t wait to shoot it. Love your videos hickok45.
+GuitarDudeXXX She should enjoy it.
Always. Along with the pre-instruction that I gave her, I had her watch the beginner series videos from the Ruger website. They were produced with a female instructor which, in my mind, was a plus for her. When we got to the range at Camp Atterbury, she handled & shot her firearm like a pro. I was impressed. Proud dad moment for sure!
DysfunctionalBubble - I got your other comment in my email before you nuked it. LMAO!
Agreed.
GuitarDudeXXX I Really Wish my Dad Would Buy Me This For My 13th Birthday.
Every video I've seen you post so far is very informative and professional. You stay honest even when a round doesn't chamber and I appreciate that a lot. Thank you for staying professionally honest and giving the info needed to make an informed purchase. God bless
First time gun owner and this is my first gun. I've learned so much just by watching you video on this gun. Thank you sir.
Mr. Hickock,
Thank you for your your time and effort in putting together these videos. They have done quite a bit to educate me on firearms, and safety and handling. It's thanks to this video, I decided on my first firearm, the SR22, and acquired it before it went off roster here in California. Keep up the great work!
Amazing gun im in love with it. Its one of my EDC pistols, many dislike and disagree with carrying a .22 but I dont see anyone lining up to be shot by one.
Any gun is better than a pointy stick when the SHTF 😉
I carry mine occasionally too. I guess people forget that the assassin's favor .22's much of the time. The biggest problem with .22 for edc imo is the unreliability of the ammo, not the gun......
Everyone says that but in reality 22 lr is such a horrible round shot placement doesn't matter
@@Outthewaygunplay OK stand it front of one and demonstrate
Ryan Satter that is old ammunition. Modern quality 22lr is very reliable. Lucky gunner did a reliability video trying to get cci to fail and couldn’t. He put one batch of 500 in a vibrating brass tumbler for an hour and 500 more were exposed to salt water for 24 hours. 500 more were straight out of the box. There were zero failures of any kind.
I just watched this again after a few years, and now I've dug my SR22 out of the closet and I'm taking it to the range tomorrow, lol
Great review! I always use your reviews as a “last word or commentary” before purchasing a design! Thanks Hickok45!
No wonder there's a 22 shortage, he has it all :)
PJ MasterDiddy well hello there, peediddy.. only y'all have shootings! we have people here that respect their guns!! take care- heavy D
steve stamps No, no. After Sandy hook they made availability of .22 ammo miniscule, now whenever places, especially Wal-Mart gets .22 ammo some people go out of their way to get to it first so it doesn't get bought out.
PJ MasterDiddy Where do you get your info? There was a shortage because the .22LR is the most widely used caliber in the country and after Sandy Hook people panicked and started cleaning out ALL the ammo. Since more people use .22 and it's relatively inexpensive it sold out faster and has stayed sold out since. Ammunition companies have gone on record saying that they've been producing .22LR 3 shifts per day since. It will come back when people feel like they've horded enough!
AwesomeFinish Exactly, because of shootings.
AwesomeFinish where are yo getting your info from?? The same factory that makes .22 also makes other caliber ammo. So why continually retool the factory to produce the least profitable ammo when you can produce something that is 3 to 4 times more profitable? So manufacturing is down and demand is up.
I bought one right after you made
this video, I love it! I still have it, it came with
the laser and all the other Goody's.
I love the educational video's.
keep up the good work!!
Hickok’s channel can’t be beat. Any time I am considering a new purchase, I check out what Hickok says. Fun to watch! Great shots!
I love how your videos always show the gun in action. and your always honest. [ thanks man]
Justin Opinion says to be sure that you set that magazine firmly. If not, you will have these feeding issue.
I have had this pistol for awhile and just love it. I purchased the treaded barrel kit recently since it wasn’t available when I originally purchased the gun. Just a great little 22 and very comfortable to shoot.
Classic Hickok slow mo laugh! Kills me every time.
Another great video. I've been wanting a semi auto .22 pistol for a while and have been torn between a few different ones. Finally decided to jump on one today when a local shop offered one I couldn't pass up. Got me a sr22 stainless. They even threw in some of that "rare" .22 ammo so I could play with it right away. Thanks again for the info. Very helpful as always. Keep them coming Hickok!
About time for a chapter 2 on this 22
I agree!
oldbandguy with the 4.5" barrel!
This was a great video, I was all jacked up on the SR22 after watching this video. Went and picked one up at a local store yesterday. Thank ya sir!
In India you wouldn't be able to buy even one bullet 😞 only the cops, gangsters and politicians have guns...I have to satisfy my passion for firearms by watching RUclips videos, 😖 nice video bdw☺
am here for ur company...
Yeah, but India probably is getting that Kawasaki ZX25r, so it probably balances out.
Same in China, but I think India is kinda safe right?
clive 123 it’s time to move
Guns for show,knives for pro
These videos are the best, it really just feels like going and shooting on a Sunday with your dad.
Purchased sr22 mid 2014 love this gun like you very very fun to shoot. Mine will actually cycle some of 22 longs pretty consistently. Your channel is absolutely best.
Love your videos! Just bought a SR22. Love the gun, keep making these great videos!
Both my wife and myself love this gun ! Thanks for the review.
Hickok 45 is a real guy with plenty of long term experience, and just tells it like he sees it. That's why I respect his videos and opinions so highly
I enjoyed this clip. I recently purchased SR22 and shot some 30 year old ammo made older. I never had any problems after 500+ rounds. I to enjoy shooting this weapon. Thanks again for the great post.
I've had this gun for almost a year. Great little 22. Feels nice in the hands and its fun to shoot. As far as the failure to feed issues. Mine started doing that a lot. Thought it was a mag issue at first. Then tried different ammo. Turns out its finicky when it gets dirty. I use this gun a lot for target practice. I find that if I clean it (I use break free CLP and a brass brush) every 200 to 400 rounds it solves the FTF issue.
I’ve got one never ever shoot lead tipped never that’s the biggest cause of misfires it gets so dirty
This video sold me on the Ruger SR22. I've been looking for a plinker, something reliable, something inexpensive in both price of the gun and ammo, and something that'll eat anything. And above all, something that'll be fun to shoot. This gun seems to have it all. I can't say I'm surprised as Ruger doesn't half-ass anything. Great video.
Saw this video a little while ago and I recently took my fiance to the range for the first time. We rented this firearm and she absolutely loved it and subsequently is in love with shooting now haha. Definitely a great gun for first time shooters. Going to buy one soon.
Years later I still love watching you guys shoot...hope you all are well
ive had one for a while now and i have had many .22 pistols. this one is up there with my favorites. Very accurate for its size
I have watched this video at least three times. Tonight I tried "soft inserting" the mag on my SR22, and it always works properly. No need to "slap it in", at least in my experience.
The SR22 is my favorite firearm thus far. It just works. I have probably 400? rounds through mine, without a single malfunction.
He was inserting the magazine into the gun while the slide was closed. It's a tight fit. Simply open the slide first......then insert the magazine.
I own an SR22 and have had no problems with it with the exception of sub-sonic ammo it just wont eject the round. Love this gun!!! Great Job Ruger !
I remember shooting Western Super X with my dad when I was little. Good memories. One of the guns he left me when he passed away was a SR-22.
I got a little Bersa Thunder 22 after liking my .380 so much. It's pretty fun to plink with at the range and cost me like 5-10 cents/round. The cost of a day at the range brought me from $80/day (9mm/380/40) to about $20 with 22LR, so the wife is happy about that.
It's funny about ammo though. It likes CCI but a lot of others fail to eject.
The SR22 is a great gun for training. Mine has been very reliable and tremendously fun to shoot. Thanks for your videos. Always a joy to watch.

Picked up one last weekend. Shot low but the sights adjusted easily. On the money windage wise. 200 rounds of Thunderbolt and 100 rounds of CCI in the first day. No failures. Feels great in my hand. Bought in large part due to Hickoks review. Thanks!
My pistol permit letter of approval just arrived in the mail today, I live in New York State got it in 5 months so happy, this little Britt is already on hold at my local gun shop! Can't wait!
Lots of people online talking about how bad the .22 round is in terms of defense.
Unlike 98% of them, I’ve actually seen people die from the round and a few others severely injured. Bullets, of any caliber, can you put a man down with just one, well placed shot.
Where that is true. I think many are referring to being in a self-defense situation. Having the adrenaline flowing, and everything going on around you it can be difficult to place that one well placed shot.
The 22 is the caliber some assassins use
HA !!! now i know why there's a 22 lr shortage....HICKOCK HAS IT ALL !!!!!!
Made me die of laughter. Thanks man.
baileyvillewyldeman Hahaha.
Pure therapy! I can´t have these guns or this experience-watching you is 2nd best...you are a happy man !
Been shooting one for 2 months now, and I have to get time from my son/wife to use it! Great practice pistol especially for my new shooters who would be my wife and son. Great video review.
my wife and i both have SR22's (hers is Rasberry) and we put through about 300 rounds each a week......love them better than some of our others handguns.
Awesome video and review as always. I just reviewed the SR22 in my video as well and I love this gun. It is a ton of fun to shoot and will take pretty much any type of ammo. Some types of ammo work better than others, but overall I haven't had any real (non-ammo related) problems with the gun.
I've watched a few of your videos over the last couple months. I finally subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work!
I have one. It's a great little gun. Buy some bulk ammo and it's all-day fun. I never get tired of shooting it. Great job as always, hickok45!
0:07 this is why im falling in love with Rugers
9:58 this is why I love RUGERS !
Hickock45, you are a great example of what a gun owner should be. A buddy of mine told me about your gun videos, I have watched about 50 of them and just keep on watching them. In fact I purchased my Ruger SR22p from your recommendation, and from renting it to shoot a couple of time. Love the pistol, it is a great shooter and the only issue I have had with it is with some bulk Winchester ammo, it fouled the bore pretty bad. Anything CCI and Federal I have had 0 problems. Keep up the videos plz!
I picked one up the other day for my girlfriend to use at the range. She likes the feel of the grip and the weight. I enjoy plinking with it. A great gun to introduce anyone to firearms as it is not intimidating at all. Thanks for the videos.
I love the details you put into your videos....that leather sheet you put on your table makes it look way nicer and like something out of an advertisement, the laser joke cracked me up lol good job. You ever tried the tracers in 10/22 with gat trigger conversion? lots of fun at dusk.
Love your videos, I always watch before I purchase a firearm, I understand everyone has their preference but your videos are very good.
Very nice video. It's nice to see a video where different ammo is being tested at the same time you show the shooting. I have one of these sr22 pistols but I haven't had the chance to take mine to the range. Looking forward to it
Hickock45 has the biggest happiest ants on that range. So much free soda.
4:57 $3.25 for a box of 22's.
Them was the good old days.
Been seeing CCI quiet at my local Walmart. For 3.50 the past couple weeks.
Good for bolt and levers for plinking won't run a semi tho.
SR-22 Nice gun, but the Romeo & Juliet cigar box looks even better!
Romeo y Julieta
Randy Lunn Not the best cigars but still decent. Id rather smoke some Oliva Vs or A.J. Fernandez New Worlds. :)
Bought my wife an SR22 for her birthday a couple years ago. She came with a S&W Lady Smith .38 and with age she decided she didn't like the .38. Sadly her health took a dive and she passed away this past February. I had read quite a bit about the SR22 before the purchase and others had commented to feed only "quality" ammunition for reliable operation. I've never fed it other than Remington Golden Bullets and have never had a single problem. I enjoyed watching you figure out the problem, even if I did talk gruffly to the television. (I do that these days) I really enjoy shooting Barbie's SR22. I'm wondering now why I left in the box for two years, waiting for her I guess. I hope you do decide to keep that one and I hope to see more videos on it.
...thx for the great vid hickok...i have a sig mosquito, and experience about the same issues with the.22 ammo you did, and thought it was unusual, but after watching your vid, i now know its just part of the beast...thx again...wooddogg in the missouri ozarks....
Traded my Walther p22 away yesterday- had it two weeks, lost $150 on the trade. Got it for xmas from my wife. Sorriest pistol I ever owned. Got a Ruger SR22 in trade. Instantly all my ftf fte, ftc problems went away. Talked to Walther they told me to only use CCI mini mag. I was, but also wanted to use other ammo. Would not shoot other HI-Vel ammo, and most definitely no non-premium ammo. They said it was in the manual. It's not, only to use 22LR. If it takes a specific cartridge it should be posted on the box. Internet is full of videos on how to modify the Walther to make it work . I call BS on the Walther. I got the gun to shoot, not have to repair it new out of the box, or send it in new for warranty, or not be able to use it if I can't find special ammo.. Stay away from the Walthers- get a Ruger.
Richard Alexander no manufacturer should make a gun that only shoots one brand/kind of ammo that's dumb I have a sr22 as well before I had a 130 dollar pheonix arms .22 and all it liked was Cci ammo almost everything else would fte or ftf so I bought the Ruger.
That was how my Beretta 21a bobcat was.. basically a single shot gun with bulk ammo. Also no extractor so you couldn't just rack to clear&reload. Worked great with cci though
bad bad mc bad It wasn't a .22 but Kimber 1911 was super reliable with anything.. seriously regret selling it and think i might get another with my stimulus check.
bad bad mc bad For sure. I just feel like I see a lot of Kimber hate while my experience was just the opposite. Anyway, got my quarantine money.. ultimately it's a tough call between a nice 1911 or a mini14 folder. The later has been on my list for years.
I got a Walther and new out the box I was able to shoot one round out of both 10 round mags. Bought cci ammo and was able to shoot a full magazine
I gotta admit they did a good job butching that gun up. it looks mean as hell. At first glance it doesn't look like a 22.
Yes, it is a very handsome gun !!!😎👍
That’s the most important part tbh
Seeing a bulky gun pointed at you is the best deterrent, no matter the caliber
I like the clean metallic sound instead of polymer or plastic scratching sound it makes when you pull the Ruger SR22 slide back and forth!
Another great Vid Mr. Hickock. I have gotten to where if you don't have a vid on it, I don't buy it. My last purchase was the SR9 full size. Fantastic weapon. Thanks for your vids, keep em rolling and ill keep watching.
You did so good with this, I bought one!! Love it!!
This guy reminds me of a cool laid back shop teachers I always enjoy his videos
He is a teacher.
well that explains it
Love your videos....just bought SR22 and love it....my mags go in real easy and I have only fired 500+ rounds out of it....great little gun..
I absolutely love mine. I carry it for grouse when I'm hunting big game. It's also perfect for kids to learn on.
😉 your Camera man a doing a a great job, good videos and also close up when needed 👍
I’ve never owned this gun but I used it in the shooting portion of my concealed carry class. Very reliable with a nice look to it. I fortunately was able to shoot it suppressed
Impotent rage vs princess robot bubblegum
Great video. My SR has been in the back of the safe for awhile. After this it is getting cleaned and back in play. 👍
Was trying to decide on which 22 to buy. I watched this video and went and got the Ruger. Good choice, I love it. thanks for all you do for us out in in youtube land.
One of my recent purchases. Love it
The wife bought a SR22 for her first gun.
We've put several different type of ammo through it with reasonable results. The thunderbolt ammo I've had for years seemed to be the worst, but hey you get to teach clearing a malfunction. Other ammo worked fine, CCI blazer, mini mags solid, fed bulk .36gr HP, CCI standard velocity worked fine too.
The high velocity ammo and .40gr bullet weights is the key to reliability. HVHPs or .40Gr standard V.
The thunderbolts being old (10+yrs) are not reliable in a 10/22 so fresh ones may work better, I'm just not going to pay the price for junk ammo when you can get crappy ammo for the same price.
J
Got my license a little over a year ago and the next day I went and bought my first gun. The Ruger SR22 and my carry gun. Very nice gun
The round not feeding problem you experienced is a short stroke of the slide. That's an ammo problem. Professional opinion.
I’m not a professional, but I do have a fair amount of range time with SR22’s since my wife and I each own one. They run great with higher velocity rounds like CCI Mini Mags, and not as well with standard velocity. Hickok45’s issues here look a lot like what happens with ours with the weaker rounds or bulk pack stuff.
I have had mine for about 4 years. This a great gun to have fun with!....I would like to see a chapter 2
If I had to describe this pistol in one word it would be “fun”. The ergonomics on this pistol is off the charts. It fit both our hands like a glove. We took several of our own guns to the range yesterday including an older Ruger MKll 22/45. I decided to rent a Ruger SR 22. The trigger on the SR -22 was a good one as you have a small amount of take up and a nice predictable break. My older Ruger has a mushy trigger that makes it hard to tell when it’ll break
12:02 Yeeeee haaaaaa... WOW!!!! wow GO AT IT!
LOL :) You got excited when that 2 liter started spinning.
CCI Stingers are fantastic in these semi-auto .22LR pistols, and in any .22LR firearm for that matter. Great ammo.
I like stingers! In pistols it gives you the fire ball, like you're shooting a big magnum round. You never get a dud either which is good if you ever use it as a carry gun.
Stinger are slightly longer than regular .22 so some have trouble cycling , otherwise you are very correct
My wife's 22 lr Henry hates them.
I recently picked up a taurus tx22 and that's the only ammo it doesn't like..hmmmm I think it's the longer case but who knows
Love your range Hickok45 lots of cool targets, and you look like you're havin fun! ;)
Lol....I was freaking out that I could literally SEE the rounds travel to target....you got me!
You do know you can slide those trays out or the CCI cover back and dump out ten rounds at a time Right?
Loved this video on the SR22.
Being behind enemy lines here in CA, hadnt been able to get one since they came out...but they made the roster here recently...pick mine up from 4473 jail in 3 days...cant wait to try this baby out !!!
Hickok love all your shows. Just want to say I own one of these guns and I’ve been fire in the crap out of it and I haven’t had a problem. My magazine slide and click easy
you should do a chapter 2 of how it has held up since this video.
ENOUGH! I've watched like 5 of your videos and after each one... I WANT ONE! Seriously, I'm going to go broke.
😂😂😂
i've had mine since 2012 as well.. now it's got well over 50k rounds thru it.. and still just as reliable as any other pistol with good ammo.. polished internals... trigger job all done at home.
I had one of these for a few months about a year ago. No matter how much I cleaned it or what ammunition I used I never once got it to run a full magazine without a malfunction. I finally gave up and traded it in. And I have a Mark IV and a 9E, big fan of Ruger.
Man! The good ole days, when you can get 22 ammo!
Would love to see a follow-up Chapter 2 video on the SR22 if you still have it Hickok! I'm a new shooter trying to decide between a 22/45 Lite and an SR22.
I just picked up one of these today and am pretty much a movie, so it was good to watch you load and shoot it.
Bought my wife one and it's a great little gun. I took it to our range and 100 rounds out of the box with no hiccups
Just bought shot it for the first time today and is one of the best guns i bought good job ruger hickock45 made my decision
