The only thing I do not like about the SR22 is the backward safety. Those are European safeties, not American. No handgun should have a safety you have to push UP to fire. But since it has a hammer, leave the safety off and the long first trigger pull will be as good as a safety.
I'm pretty sure the Ruger SR22 wins by a good margin here. Ruger has been making .22 semi-auto pistols for over 70 years and knows what they are doing. The GLOCK, Taurus and Sig pistols are new entries into a market they previously never dabbled in.
Just picked up a TX22 last week. Went to the range and put 100 CCI mini mag with zero issues and 150 CCI SV with only one failure. Gun is great and just makes sense to pick up for plinking. Price of .22 lr just doesn't make you feel bad to shoot😂
literally put 800 plus thru mine in 3 hours and only had like 3 feed failures which im sure was from the cheaper ammo. it ran dirty AF very happy i hink only think that can compare is the sig 22
My preference is gonna be the rugersr22 because the saftey features the decocker the bright red fire/safety and the no magazine dead trigger feature also the size compared too the glock and the taurus and utimately the comfort of all these safety options as a good first time shooter, ive been shooting for a while now but getting people into shooting training etc like im doing with my wife she loves shooting the 22lr pistols and id feel more comfortable ahowing her the sr22 iver the conpetitors again just based on the safety features which the others seem too lack in my opinion. Great video btw thanks for the time too show us, have a great reat of your day sir!
I've had more malfunctions in one day with the GLOCK 44 than I've had out of the TX22 EVER. I trust Glocks, I love my Glocks. EXCEPT for the G44. I feel terrible for anybody who watched a video like this and then went out and bought one. I've fired a few different G44s and they ALL malfunction a LOT. I fired a few different TX22s also before I bought one and they're ALL great. The TX22 is just about the funnest semi auto pistol that I've ever shot except for my .32 (which I can barely get ammo for). I can't buy enough cheap ammo for the TX22. Federal Auto Match has been going for around $20 for a box of 325 at my local walmart and I've gone through many boxes without any malfunctions. Had several weak rounds and it still cycled just fine. I put the same ammo through the G44s (plural) and just about every other 10 ROUND magazine has a minor failure of some kind. Maybe you bought yours from the guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans but the only people that I know of who run "thousands of rounds" through the G44 with "no problems" are the ones who do it off camera when nobody else is around. The G44 does what I would've expected out of Taurus. The TX22 does what I'd have expected out of a Glock. If you switched the price tags, I would STILL choose the TX22 ALL DAY! The best thing about the G44 is that it made me a lot more open minded to cheaper guns. As a matter of fact, I'm going to go ahead and order that "YEET CANON" now. THANKS GLOCK!
Was a SR 22 lover till bought a TX 22. Tarsus fitting my hands better with higher capacity per mag. No failures with any brand or quality of ammo. TX 22 is my go to now
i agree. the adjustable sights are very useful and very accurrate. over and over again. great fun for plinking. i just bought a Berretta 21 a Bobcat .22 and no adjustable sights....and a far as plinking, no fun. well, at least yet....havent figure out how far i can effectively hit a can and whete i need to aim to do so. the SR 22, YOU adjust the sites and it is good for 200 rounds before you need to clean it qnd take down is simple.
Good review. I carry the SR-22 in my rotation for many reasons in carry mode. First is that double action hammer (double strike capability). Most .22 cal. rounds, when they do fail, is a more harden area of the rim. Striker Fire can not QUIKLY RE-STRIKE and keep going. The double action pull, after the de-cock and return to Fire, allows me to place the trigger in the stronger double action mode as the trigger safety. Single action is quite nice and just as smooth as my G42, G19, OR my G23. The carry size profile is that of my G26, BUT LIGHTER by a lot. Accuracy and follow-ups are highly quicker than any of my centerfire choices, allows me to keep my barrel on a moving threat. All my platforms are lasered/lamped for my Carry. Again, the only miss Fire I’ve encountered have been 99.9% that of a hardened rim and 99.9% the second-strike cleared my chamber. Some of my expensive carry center fired rounds, not many, have failed to eject (stove-piped) do to a light charge, it does happen. Ammo choice on any .22Cal a must and consider the SR-22 highly reliable, I WILL CARRY IT. If I can’t carry it, I won’t purchase it.
Thanks for this comprehensive and thorough comparo. Upon watching, I decided to definitely order the Taurus TX 10+1. Price wise, the Glock doesn't offer enough advantage to justify my R.O.I. I also prefer the TX grip. As for the Taurus SR, I was warned about potential feeding compromises. Good job👍
I own the Ruger and the Taurus. Have put literally thousands of rounds through the Ruger and it's been very reliable and will shoot anything reliably but subsonic rounds. I haven't had the Taurus as long, but had to get a new barrel because it original one wasn't rifled and was key holing. After the new barrel it's been quite nice to shoot, though today I was having FTF problems with one of my magazines. Never had issues with the Ruger.
That TX22 is a damn fine gun. It has eaten anything i feed it & hasnt had 1 malfunction in the 500 plus rounds I've shot it. Paul Harrell said "we'll keep that one" after he did a video on it. That was good enough for me
My SR22 had issues when I first bought it. I had to send it back to Rugar. They replaced the barrel and it’s been great ever since. So if you’re having issues feeding or ejecting, send it back and have it looked it.
All of my SR22s have been awesome. I feel like something hokey is going on with his. The safety is upside down because that’s how the decocker works. Also because it is a double action, that is why the trigger is so different.
I had all three I did not have as good shooting with the Glock had several failure to feed even after a hundred rounds, the Ruger worked a little better for me but still not great, the Taurus TX 22 ran everything I feed through it without a problem to feed. After a time I kept the Taurus TX 22. I've never been a fan of Taurus but I got to say I'm happy with this one & the trigger is awesome 👍.
It's pretty funny, most of the reviews I've seen on the TX 22 have said similar things. They're not exactly fans of Taurus but, they really like the TX 22. Personally I own three Taurus guns and like all of them. Might have to pick up a TX 22 myself.
SR 22 also has a Magazine disconnect safety feature as well is a hammer fired so can be fired single action by cocking the hammer 1st. usually SR 22 needs a hi velocity ammo.
my ruger sr22 runs perfectly fine with cci standard velocity, much to my initial surprise. recent batches of norma tac and federal automatch were terrible, but it was the ammo, not the piece.
Well I've been shootin for 63 years I've carried 357/44/9mm for several year's bought a glock 40 cal. Traded it to my son for walther 9mm within a week hated that gun. My arthritic hands decided I would carry a 22 so I got a Ruger sr22 I shoot cci stingers carry it every day and love it. Thanks for sharing be safe
I have a Ruger SR22 and love it. I have never had any kind of failure to do anything after thousands of rounds. I am very disappointed with the failures it has had in this review. I also have a Taurus and Glock in different calibers that I have never had an issue with.
I hate how the SR 22 has been discontinued. It was the first gun I ever fired and I loved it, now when I want to get my hands on one I can't find it. I just recently got a Glock 44, love it, but I would love to have a reliable hammer fired double action pistol with a decocker chambered in 22
mag loading is critical with the TX, I had problems with mine found out loading it by pulling down the tab and dropping the cartridges in, the rims did not properly stagger, now I push them in like I would a 9mm or .45 and with the proper stagger it has been very reliable, with the addition of a TANDEMKROSS victory trigger it is a really fun gun to shoot
@@stuartstuart866 I know the early ones had barrel machine issues (chattering), sucks you had to send it back, but at least they fixed it for you. Enjoy it.
@@tonylepley7366 Yeah, I think it was luck of the draw back then. I’m curious if ALL of the newer ones are as reliable as yours out of the box. Even though i’ve had it several years now, It’s still my favorite gun.
I’ve never had issues with CCI ammo in my TX22, but my wild guess is that I’m religious about keeping it clean and properly maintained. But that’s just my personal experience.
Taurus is a reliable gun in any configuration. I have the 9 mm 92f it has never failed but to be honest I care colt .45 . My .22 pistol is Ruger mk3 it’s great.
I’ve shot hundreds of CCI clean, the red, white and blue as well as the red and green Christmas issued. I never had a problem of any kind in my 2 SR22’s. It’s amazing how you got your results. I’m VERY SUSPICIOUS with your “results”.
I've shot well over 20,000 rounds of the clean ammo. Still buy it and still shoot it. From what I've experienced as long as your barrel is cool and clean it shoots fine. It's only when your barrel is hot or really dirty when it starts to stick and have problems. Thanks for watching. Appreciate the comment!
One advantage the Ruger has is that like the Walther P22, it has double strike capability. Often important when shooting 22lr. Also, I would choose the Taurus because of it’s capacity. Thanks for the video.
Paula Tudor, yes rimfire ammo has come a long way, BUT, hard primers on a 22 round are a real thing. Sometimes, hitting a round twice is enough ( why I mentioned the advantage of double strike capability) and sometimes it doesn’t matter how many times you strike it. True, some guns are poorly constructed, some have faulty magazines, some are human error, But rimfire ammo is disadvantaged by the manufacturing process.
Re strike doesn't count on rimfire, it's usually a void in the primer , since it is a liquid that hardens in the rim, usually need to rotate them then try again
Have the TX-22 and the Glock. TX-22 just shoots. Anything. And 16 rounds. Glock is picky but runs well on CCI or Aguila 40 grain - I think the Glock makes more sense if you have a Glock in a larger caliber. Have heard good things about the Ruger and I'll add the Beretta M9 22lr - DA/SA's are fun to shoot. All good guns, in their own way.
Excellent video I have the Ruger SR 22 and I sometimes wonder if they didn’t have a few bad ones in the batch that they made because sometimes it did the same thing it just depends I was told about 1000 round break-in and you should be good to go😊
Lots of reviews ragging on the glock.. I bought one to satisfy my curiosity and haven't had any issues yet.. accurate and 100% reliable.. I must be lucky because I hear people ripping other guns as well.. I buy them and have no issues.. just like hi points.. I very happy with mine..
Nice I'm also a bit of a gueania pig on mixed bag things and want to get a g44, I have had great luck with my sr all kinds of different ammo really only stoppages are light primer strikes or limp wristing it I've hade fte before.
Love the Ruger. It feels great in the hands and very reliable. But for some reason the folks at Ruger made the manual safety opposite of everything else. Down is safe and up is fire. Seems odd to me.
@@Ben-sv9op I could show you many many photos I’ve taken to send Taurus so far they have not replied over the last month. I sent it two days ago to Taurus with the magazines. They have told me they will never replace a gun even if it never gets fully functional and they want $50 every time it sent out. I talked to five people at least. So I sent it through a dealer so I don’t have to pay. I will never ever buy anything with the word Taurus again they are cheap and they become malfunction after a few months. Add about 1500 rounds to mine before all of this started it’s been professionally cleaned twice I clean a day for every trip to the range in the Local’s Gunsmith cannot get it to work either
@@bobshelton9049 that’s crazy I mean overall I have a bad experience with 22 LR in semi automatics I found a good deal on this TX and I took the risk.. All my 22 LR’s our only revolvers that’s my best advice for 22 LR worse comes to worse you pull the trigger again .. I was just surprise that I had a good experience with the TX but I’m sure many people have issues .. sucks their customer service is terrible
I own a TX-22 and it's great but I really want a Ruger SR-22. I got the Taurus because my wife wanted a larger framed pistol and the larger frame plus capacity led us to the Taurus TX-22. Zero regrets on the Taurus but I still want a Ruger SR-22 for myself. Not at all interested in the Glock. I've heard too many horror stories about that particular Glock. Too many other pistols on the market to buy a pistol with that many negative reviews.
My tx22 dosnt miss. 2000 rounds. Only a few malfunctions due to Remington thunderbolt el cheapo ammo. You can order a trijicon HD like sight from taurus. It's great. Buy a heavy guide rod too. Pro tip. Magazine disconnects in rugers can be removed. I own a few and have removed them all.
When I first got my G44 I took it out the box and it would only reliably run CCI mini mags took it apart and cleaned it and found the factory lube had dried up cleaned and relubed and it runs everything including subsonic ammo only had ammo failures at this point and I've run about 3k-4k rounds through it
Your experience with the SR22 must have been much different than mine. The SR22 that I shot had at least a couple of FTF's in every magazine (rim lock?). I was shooting it side by side with my TX22 which never had a hiccup, using the same ammo. If I recall correctly, I was using Aguila 44gr. Neither did I like the size of the SR22, it felt almost toy like in comparison to my TX22.
Hell yeah. I’m not glock fanboy but lean towards g44 as got one from neighbor he got new didn’t like it. Let me get for few hundred. Like new paperwork and everything comes with. So I took the deal. I like it I like my heritage rough rider to. Like revolver’s tad better than semi’s. But like say just me. Loved video all done good in my opinion. Stay safe from ur ole hillbilly buddy.
I know what you are saying about the Ruger and the auto disconnect. I "Heard" and at first did not believe the "Rumors" about 22lr = more injuries and possible deaths with 22lr-as they seem to have little to no recoil and some people not treating them with the respect that a firearm should be treated with. I do know for fact that at one of the ranges I go to, a youg lady/girl was shooting a 22lr pistol, a casing bounced off a protective wall-went down the back of her t-shirt and started to burn her back. She failed to put the 22lr pistol down on the ledge and reached behind her back with the pistol in her hand. This resulted in a negligent discharge while the pistol was in her hand. This cost her a 3 1/2 hour surgery, The bullet must have hit her leg in just the wrong spot. I am starting to believe that the "Rumor" of more people being injured with a 22lr is more fact than fiction. I now think that if you buy a 22lr pistol and ANYONE THAT IS NOT A seasoned shooter, may be operating the weapon and I know a few. The more safty features built in place the better. I have seen many people under 21 years of age shooting pistols (Even though in the company of an adult) operating firearms. There I am done. I hate to see people get hurt.-I do not even watch boxing matches.
Is the Ruger really a good comparison to the other two because its hammer fired instead of striker fired? A lot of the differences that are seen in these weapons goes back to that, particularly the trigger pull. Just a thought.
I have the Glock 44. It is a very good little gun. I shoot CCI, and I’ve never had a misfire. I am going to buy the Taurus TX22 simply to have another plinker/practice gun at the house.
I have the TX22 and i liked it so much that i got a second one for my girlfriend... My girlfriend doesn't like firearms and is recoil sensitive. I got her the tx22 and she loves it. She ended up getting her conceal carry license(using it)and now goes to the range and practices, all the time....
@@Cappurniggas This is a pretty funny coincidence. I was shooting cheap Federal ammo yesterday and had 2 stove pipes. Maybe you are correct. Maybe I do need to buy the TX22.
@@Chance-ry1hq Is it that $20 for a box of 325 lead tipped stuff from walmart? Because I've been shooting it for weeks and the TX22 chews it up with no problems. (edit: No kidding, it's my favorite thing to shoot lately. I have a 32 acp that's just as fun but ammunition for it is close to a dollar per round when I can find it at all. I've been shooting with my wife a lot lately and she doesn't want to shoot anything bigger than that (even though she groups as well as anybody else with the 9mm that she carries for defense). I shot a few G44s and a few TX22s before I went with the Taurus despite WANTING the Glock to be better. I still love Glock, I still trust and carry a G19 but that G44 is the Mitt Romney of Glocks as far as I'm concerned. I'd love to see a "new and improved" version but in my opinion, Taurus is the KING of 22lr semi auto pistols for now. (Unless you want to drop $800 on a plinking gun, and I'd rather spend that money on the 13,000 rounds of Auto Match that it would buy.
@@Cappurniggas Yes, that is what I was shooting. The Glock 44 does fine with CCI, but it is a temperamental gun. I’m going to keep the 44, but I going to buy the TX22. I have heard too many good things about it to pass it up. By the way I love my Glock 19, and have never had any issues with it.
I read the Taurus trigger is basically their version of the walther trigger design. I have never owned a Taurus but I just bought the TX22 from all the positive reviews and the 16rnd stock capacity. I think they all are nice guns but I was between the Taurus and the Sig P322 but the price was a huge factor. The Sig holds 20 rounds.
I'm pretty sure the Ruger SR22 wins by a good margin here. Ruger has been making .22 semi-auto pistols for over 70 years and knows what they are doing. The GLOCK, Taurus and Sig pistols are new entries into a market they previously never dabbled in.
I have a tx22,it's not crazy about soft hp's,other than that it's great. I'm curious to know the velocity of the clean ammo.l know most of the polymer pistols like high velocity
The Glock 44 makes a great paperweight. After the frame broke on mine Gluck wouldn’t do anything about it. They said I was all my fault. Even after seeing 100s of people saying they had frames crack on their Gluck 44. Never again will I own or work on any Gluck again.
I have put 500 rounds of Winchester range ammo that was my Dad's that was at least 30 years old with no issues. With almost 1,000 rounds total and a mix of other brands and velocities, except for subsonics, I have had only 2 issues and both were ammo related failures to fire.
I own the glock, the tx22 and a fn 502..My favorite is the tx22.. followed pretty closely by the FN.. Being the 502s mag capacity is 10 rnd. and twice the price I'd buy the taurus as 1st choice all day...For you gun snobs that can't shoot a gun under $350 get the tx22 competition...
SR22 hands down! I started carrying it because it's accurate and very reliable
That golden bullet failer with the SR22. I didn't hear a hammer drop when you tried to fire it. Did you even pull the trigger?
Try oiling the SR22......
The only thing I do not like about the SR22 is the backward safety. Those are European safeties, not American. No handgun should have a safety you have to push UP to fire. But since it has a hammer, leave the safety off and the long first trigger pull will be as good as a safety.

A year later and I'd still pick my SR22. No contest.
I have the TX22 and it’s an amazing gun, especially for the price. Eats anything I throw at it.
The tx22 is awesome shot mine tonight...no ftf as usual got the tandem kross extended mag on both mags . .
😂🤣😤
I own the Ruger SR22 since 2020. I shoot CCI Mini Mags thru it. Put over 10,000 rounds thru it. Have Crimson Trace laser on it. Would carry as a CCW

mag loading is critical with the TX, I had problems with mine found out loading it by pulling down the tab and dropping the cartridges in, the rims did not properly stagger, now I push them in like I would a 9mm or .45 and with the proper stagger it has been very reliable, with the addition of a TANDEMKROSS victory trigger it is a really fun gun to shoot
@@valhicks5261 I ended up sending the TX22 back to Taurus twice. The second time, it was correctly repaired. Reliability is much better now.
@@stuartstuart866 I know the early ones had barrel machine issues (chattering), sucks you had to send it back, but at least they fixed it for you. Enjoy it.
Mine runs everything
@@tonylepley7366 Yeah, I think it was luck of the draw back then. I’m curious if ALL of the newer ones are as reliable as yours out of the box. Even though i’ve had it several years now, It’s still my favorite gun.
I’ve never had issues with CCI ammo in my TX22, but my wild guess is that I’m religious about keeping it clean and properly maintained. But that’s just my personal experience.
Taurus is a reliable gun in any configuration. I have the 9 mm 92f it has never failed but to be honest I care colt .45 . My .22 pistol is Ruger mk3 it’s great.
TX22 the gun that changed Taurus.
This the one. It's a beast for a 22.
I’ve shot hundreds of CCI clean, the red, white and blue as well as the red and green Christmas issued.
I never had a problem of any kind in my 2 SR22’s. It’s amazing how you got your results.
I’m VERY SUSPICIOUS with your “results”.
I've shot well over 20,000 rounds of the clean ammo. Still buy it and still shoot it. From what I've experienced as long as your barrel is cool and clean it shoots fine. It's only when your barrel is hot or really dirty when it starts to stick and have problems. Thanks for watching. Appreciate the comment!
One advantage the Ruger has is that like the Walther P22, it has double strike capability. Often important when shooting 22lr.
Also, I would choose the Taurus because of it’s capacity.
Thanks for the video.
Ammunition is not as faulty as it once was back in the 70-89’s
I can run a bulk box of Remington.22 without a single misfired round so light strikes are a gun issue and you should not trust it for edc
That’s the only glock I would stay away from because I have seen several and the accuracy was like a blind man was shooting it.
Paula Tudor, yes rimfire ammo has come a long way, BUT, hard primers on a 22 round are a real thing. Sometimes, hitting a round twice is enough ( why I mentioned the advantage of double strike capability) and sometimes it doesn’t matter how many times you strike it.
True, some guns are poorly constructed, some have faulty magazines, some are human error, But rimfire ammo is disadvantaged by the manufacturing process.
Re strike doesn't count on rimfire, it's usually a void in the primer , since it is a liquid that hardens in the rim, usually need to rotate them then try again
Tx 22 all away. Affordable and a good pistol
I have the ruger, I've shot about 3,000 rounds out of it . I have had about 4 failure to fire and fixed them with a double strike. Great gun!!!
I love the Ruger
Thanks for the "heads up" on the CCI Clean. Too many other choices to take a chance with questionable ammo in this scarce ammo market.
Your welcome! I love CCI just not the clean ammo.
Have the TX-22 and the Glock. TX-22 just shoots. Anything. And 16 rounds. Glock is picky but runs well on CCI or Aguila 40 grain - I think the Glock makes more sense if you have a Glock in a larger caliber. Have heard good things about the Ruger and I'll add the Beretta M9 22lr - DA/SA's are fun to shoot. All good guns, in their own way.
Excellent video I have the Ruger SR 22 and I sometimes wonder if they didn’t have a few bad ones in the batch that they made because sometimes it did the same thing it just depends I was told about 1000 round break-in and you should be good to go😊
Lots of reviews ragging on the glock.. I bought one to satisfy my curiosity and haven't had any issues yet.. accurate and 100% reliable.. I must be lucky because I hear people ripping other guns as well.. I buy them and have no issues.. just like hi points.. I very happy with mine..
Nice I'm also a bit of a gueania pig on mixed bag things and want to get a g44, I have had great luck with my sr all kinds of different ammo really only stoppages are light primer strikes or limp wristing it I've hade fte before.
I was surprised the Remington golden didn’t jam sooner tbh.
Love the Ruger. It feels great in the hands and very reliable. But for some reason the folks at Ruger made the manual safety opposite of everything else. Down is safe and up is fire. Seems odd to me.
Tx22 is unreal amazing amazing
For the price. A cheap gun that works well.
How many problem every magazine pretty much has at least one to 2-3 Jamz
@@bobshelton9049 I never had A single issue or hiccup unless the round was bad shot about 1000 rounds out of mine
@@Ben-sv9op I could show you many many photos I’ve taken to send Taurus so far they have not replied over the last month. I sent it two days ago to Taurus with the magazines. They have told me they will never replace a gun even if it never gets fully functional and they want $50 every time it sent out. I talked to five people at least. So I sent it through a dealer so I don’t have to pay. I will never ever buy anything with the word Taurus again they are cheap and they become malfunction after a few months. Add about 1500 rounds to mine before all of this started it’s been professionally cleaned twice I clean a day for every trip to the range in the Local’s Gunsmith cannot get it to work either
@@bobshelton9049 that’s crazy I mean overall I have a bad experience with 22 LR in semi automatics I found a good deal on this TX and I took the risk.. All my 22 LR’s our only revolvers that’s my best advice for 22 LR worse comes to worse you pull the trigger again .. I was just surprise that I had a good experience with the TX but I’m sure many people have issues .. sucks their customer service is terrible
I find if u wax the inside of most 22 mags it eliminated any fail to feed I’m going to ceramic coat them next time I clean the mags
I own a TX-22 and it's great but I really want a Ruger SR-22. I got the Taurus because my wife wanted a larger framed pistol and the larger frame plus capacity led us to the Taurus TX-22. Zero regrets on the Taurus but I still want a Ruger SR-22 for myself. Not at all interested in the Glock. I've heard too many horror stories about that particular Glock. Too many other pistols on the market to buy a pistol with that many negative reviews.
The Ruger is a solid choice. I still don't like it as much as the TX-22 especially their new TX-22 Gen 2 but it is a great gun and very reliable.
Definitely like my SR22 probably about 2000 rounds, but my GSG 1911 22LR has 9000 rounds both excellent.
NONE but the hammer type Ruger SR22 or Walther 22 with hammer
WAY more safe for carrying one in chamber
Not sure why I watched this , I already had my favorite picked, the Taurus all day every day, but it was a good video
My tx22 dosnt miss. 2000 rounds. Only a few malfunctions due to Remington thunderbolt el cheapo ammo. You can order a trijicon HD like sight from taurus. It's great. Buy a heavy guide rod too.
Pro tip. Magazine disconnects in rugers can be removed. I own a few and have removed them all.
What is a heavy guide rod
Why do you say Remington is L cheapo
@@damrgee8279 I've had so many malfunctions with Remington 22 ammo over the years.
@@damrgee8279 exactly what it sounds like. It weighs more and the spring is stiffer
@@Fyoutube444 after every shoot. 22 is very temperamental to crud
When I first got my G44 I took it out the box and it would only reliably run CCI mini mags took it apart and cleaned it and found the factory lube had dried up cleaned and relubed and it runs everything including subsonic ammo only had ammo failures at this point and I've run about 3k-4k rounds through it
Yep, most of the time they just need a good cleaning.
I have the same issue with the CCI clean in my SR22
I like it but you just can't get the barrel too hot or it starts doing weird things.
To accurately test all this guns using the cheapest ammo is the best way to go. Since majority of guns owner will tend to buy cheap ammo to shoot.
Best of them all is the TAURUS TX22
my Kel Tec P17 runs great with everything, and holds 16 in the magazine
Your experience with the SR22 must have been much different than mine. The SR22 that I shot had at least a couple of FTF's in every magazine (rim lock?). I was shooting it side by side with my TX22 which never had a hiccup, using the same ammo. If I recall correctly, I was using Aguila 44gr. Neither did I like the size of the SR22, it felt almost toy like in comparison to my TX22.
Hell yeah. I’m not glock fanboy but lean towards g44 as got one from neighbor he got new didn’t like it. Let me get for few hundred. Like new paperwork and everything comes with. So I took the deal. I like it I like my heritage rough rider to. Like revolver’s tad better than semi’s. But like say just me. Loved video all done good in my opinion. Stay safe from ur ole hillbilly buddy.
Good grief!
Someone who actually prefers a revolver?
Thought I’m the only one these days
My sr22 is ammo picky for sure. But I run mini mags and stingers only and I have zero issue's.
First off I'm glad you like the mag for the Glock the tourist has the same kind of with the little thingies on the side.
I ordered a Taurus TX .22 last week. Waiting for it to ship. This will be my CCW. It will be loaded with federal punch and winchester silver tip.
Just ordered mine and my son's. Ccw with our .38's as backup.
Ive ordered one. Cant wait! Watched Plenty of T& E's... Definitely the Taurus 😊
Good choice!
I know what you are saying about the Ruger and the auto disconnect. I "Heard" and at first did not believe the "Rumors" about 22lr = more injuries and possible deaths with 22lr-as they seem to have little to no recoil and some people not treating them with the respect that a firearm should be treated with. I do know for fact that at one of the ranges I go to, a youg lady/girl was shooting a 22lr pistol, a casing bounced off a protective wall-went down the back of her t-shirt and started to burn her back. She failed to put the 22lr pistol down on the ledge and reached behind her back with the pistol in her hand. This resulted in a negligent discharge while the pistol was in her hand. This cost her a 3 1/2 hour surgery, The bullet must have hit her leg in just the wrong spot. I am starting to believe that the "Rumor" of more people being injured with a 22lr is more fact than fiction. I now think that if you buy a 22lr pistol and ANYONE THAT IS NOT A seasoned shooter, may be operating the weapon and I know a few. The more safty features built in place the better. I have seen many people under 21 years of age shooting pistols (Even though in the company of an adult) operating firearms. There I am done. I hate to see people get hurt.-I do not even watch boxing matches.
TX-22! I have 3. All are 100% reliable and accurate.
Love the TX22!
I couldn't help notice you didn't mention the Taurus has a threaded barrel.
You're right I didn't, that's a huge plus too!
Got me gsg 1911 .22 have had no issues with it. Been looking to get another .22 pistol but can’t decide what to buy… thanks for the video
i got gsg /sig paint job on slide not good you tube reveiws
Is the Ruger really a good comparison to the other two because its hammer fired instead of striker fired? A lot of the differences that are seen in these weapons goes back to that, particularly the trigger pull. Just a thought.
the other 2 are compact/full-size while the ruger is sub/micro compact in terms of 9mm pistol sizes
I have the Glock 44. It is a very good little gun. I shoot CCI, and I’ve never had a misfire. I am going to buy the Taurus TX22 simply to have another plinker/practice gun at the house.
I have the TX22 and i liked it so much that i got a second one for my girlfriend...
My girlfriend doesn't like firearms and is recoil sensitive. I got her the tx22 and she loves it. She ended up getting her conceal carry license(using it)and now goes to the range and practices, all the time....
You buy a TX22 and you'll probably sell your G44 for ammo.
@@Cappurniggas This is a pretty funny coincidence. I was shooting cheap Federal ammo yesterday and had 2 stove pipes. Maybe you are correct. Maybe I do need to buy the TX22.
@@Chance-ry1hq Is it that $20 for a box of 325 lead tipped stuff from walmart?
Because I've been shooting it for weeks and the TX22 chews it up with no problems.
(edit: No kidding, it's my favorite thing to shoot lately. I have a 32 acp that's just as fun but ammunition for it is close to a dollar per round when I can find it at all. I've been shooting with my wife a lot lately and she doesn't want to shoot anything bigger than that (even though she groups as well as anybody else with the 9mm that she carries for defense).
I shot a few G44s and a few TX22s before I went with the Taurus despite WANTING the Glock to be better. I still love Glock, I still trust and carry a G19 but that G44 is the Mitt Romney of Glocks as far as I'm concerned. I'd love to see a "new and improved" version but in my opinion, Taurus is the KING of 22lr semi auto pistols for now. (Unless you want to drop $800 on a plinking gun, and I'd rather spend that money on the 13,000 rounds of Auto Match that it would buy.
@@Cappurniggas Yes, that is what I was shooting. The Glock 44 does fine with CCI, but it is a temperamental gun. I’m going to keep the 44, but I going to buy the TX22. I have heard too many good things about it to pass it up.
By the way I love my Glock 19, and have never had any issues with it.
Does the Ruger have a steeper ramp than the Taurus and Glock? Does the Ruger need to have the ramp polished.
The CCI clean was made to shoot with a Silencer. It's subsonic I believe.
I read the Taurus trigger is basically their version of the walther trigger design. I have never owned a Taurus but I just bought the TX22 from all the positive reviews and the 16rnd stock capacity. I think they all are nice guns but I was between the Taurus and the Sig P322 but the price was a huge factor. The Sig holds 20 rounds.
I own a TX22C, great gun. I am also going to buy a G44 so my wife can plink with me
I own the Ruger and love it but all 3 would be a good choice.
Which do you feel would be good for elderly woman or teen girl? Kicks less?
Honest review on what they will feed.
I think All your explanation very good 👍. Based on the reality
Taurus clear winner …..
What are the shooting gloves you are using?
I can't speak for the Tx-22, but I own both of the others. The ruger out performs the glock all day long.
TX22 fan here.
Got a Glock 44 and shot Norma tac 40 grain. 10 failure in 40 shots. Cci blazer had 0 in 40.
Definitely not a fan of Norma 22lr.
Get them all, including the keltec p17 they are reliable.
I have 2 sr22's and eat all kinds of ammo, im wondering if you got a lemon there
I'm pretty sure the Ruger SR22 wins by a good margin here. Ruger has been making .22 semi-auto pistols for over 70 years and knows what they are doing. The GLOCK, Taurus and Sig pistols are new entries into a market they previously never dabbled in.
For target practice: I personally use CCI Minimags for my Glock 44.
Minimags are always reliable!
luv my sr 22 will never own another taurus had 2 of them model 94 wheel gun and pt 22 both 22 lr ckeaned real good tryed all ammo ....junk
Wow, 22LR handguns bigger than a compact conceal 9MM.
Why is that so?
I'll stay with my TX.
Very good review 👍
LITTLE LUBRICATION GOES LONG WAY
I want them all!
Great review
Thank you!
Next I would give props 2 Ruger since they did create the 1022
Great video
Thanks!
I have a tx22,it's not crazy about soft hp's,other than that it's great. I'm curious to know the velocity of the clean ammo.l know most of the polymer pistols like high velocity
1200fps for the clean ammo.
There is no such word as ambidextrious, dammit!
Agreed. Only one "i" in the word - the first one.
@@libbyd1001 I hate to be a nag but the mispronunciations just drive me berserk
The Glock 44 makes a great paperweight. After the frame broke on mine Gluck wouldn’t do anything about it. They said I was all my fault. Even after seeing 100s of people saying they had frames crack on their Gluck 44. Never again will I own or work on any Gluck again.
I have put 500 rounds of Winchester range ammo that was my Dad's that was at least 30 years old with no issues. With almost 1,000 rounds total and a mix of other brands and velocities, except for subsonics, I have had only 2 issues and both were ammo related failures to fire.
What gun are you putting them through?
@@jonathan8122 Taurus TX22
I gotta say I think Winchester may be the most dependable ammo when it ages
Ruger SR22 has a light firing pin strike problem. Once it warms up. Taurus is my choice.
I wanted to purchase a Ruger SR22 since they just got added to California roster . They’re new Rugers made for California . Do you recommend or no ?
Glock SUCKS!! You would think that with the size of the magazine, that it would hold 16 to 20 rds!!!😠👎
I own the glock, the tx22 and a fn 502..My favorite is the tx22.. followed pretty closely by the FN.. Being the 502s mag capacity is 10 rnd. and twice the price I'd buy the taurus as 1st choice all day...For you gun snobs that can't shoot a gun under $350 get the tx22 competition...
Can you a comparison w the g44 vs fn 502 ?
Good idea I might do that soon. Thanks for watching!
