  • @garyK.45ACP
    @garyK.45ACP Год назад +32

    Let me say this about the .22 short...because I have a special relationship with the cartridge.
    I was a police officer for 36 years, 43 years if you count working as a Senate LE liaison (I don't).
    During those 36 years I was shot 3 times. The first time was in 1975 by a guy armed with an Astra Cub pistol chambered in .22 short.
    In the confrontation he pointed that gun in my direction and ordered him to drop his gun, looking at him over the sights of my Colt Trooper MKIII .357 Magnum in a two hand hold. He chose to disregard my order and fired one shot which hit my left (supporting) hand. That proved to be a very bad decision for him to make.
    I didn't notice the wound immediately. The bullet never exited my hand and they found it in the meaty part of my thumb at the hospital. It was a solid bullet, no expansion. I was treated and released from the hospital. After the adrenaline wore off...it HURT LIKE HELL!!!!!!!
    Had it not hit my hand, it could have easily hit my head or neck and my day may have turned out much worse.
    Hence the phrase..."If you shoot me with that thing, and I find out about it, I'm going to be really mad!"
    In any case...not my choice for self defense, but it is no toy!
    Happy New Year Buffalo!

    Thank you for testing 22 Shorts! I grew up shooting an old Winchester single shot, that would only chamber Shorts. I took all kinds of critters with it over the years from magpies to prairie dogs! With iron sights, it could do everything my buddy's rifle shooting .22 Long Rifle could do. My son has that gun today, and still has fun shooting it occasionally. I really enjoy your channel.

    That little guy is not toy. If a shooter can pull off quick shots with it and hit with most rounds from very close distance - considering the hollow points had to be completely sideways inside of the target at some point to end up backwards, that would be a very bad day for about anyone on the recieving side. Which i'm fairly surprised about! Fun series, i had great pleasure watching it!

    @johnnorman7708 Год назад +2

    Great test video. I have made what I consider to be significant use of .22 short over the years. The CCI hollow point ammo has been my preferred load. But there were others used at different times. Snakes, rats, squirrels, and more have met their end courtesy of one of the most useful and efficient cartridges ever designed. There were some situations where I absolutely did not want penetration on vermin inside a building. I modified the CCI hollow point with a drill bit to a huge cavity and very thin skirt walls. Probably was down to 23-25 grains. It would fragment the front portion and leave only a tiny flat of the base as a possible exit fragment. Almost complete energy dump on rats a few feet away most of the time, with very little exiting if at all. .22 Short doesn't get noticed much these days, but for those of us with very specific needs they truly are a magic pill. I might add that .22 Shorts are so light and compact that you can pack and carry them almost 2:1 over long rifle ammo. If outfitting a wilderness kit, it is probably something to consider. .22 short solids can kill birds such as grouse or even smaller without much excess damage for a fast snack in the skillet. If your .22 is a manually operated rifle or a revolver it's simple. If your .22 is an auto, you can single load the short cartridges directly into the chamber and they will fire. It's up to the user whether or not that is useful for your situation or not. All in all I am a firm believer in .22 short utility.

    I have been using .22 shorts starting in the year 19 and 58 when my oldman gave me a Colt .22 revolver to go squirrel hunting with him. He told me to use .22 shorts because they don't go through the squirrel. That all the power was contain within the squirrel takes 100 percent of the hit. He said it also knocks the squirrel out of the tree. This was very important information to an 8 year old boy. Because if that squirrel died in the tree, guess who the oldman sent up the tree to fetch it.
