Yes and unlike center-fire rifles copper in airguns doesn't build up but even in center-fire guns soft lead builds up more then copper, pellets only have a thin layer of copper as do your 22 lr so just enough to keep it cleaner longer and no powder residues in airguns so cleaner for shure

you dont need a light, even at night every where you go has ambient light, if you cant see him then he cant see you, very rare you need a light and never identify someone with a weapon mounted light unless attack is in progress only, one hand on gun and flash light is better, you can move light independent of pistol so they dont track your location shooting at light, pointing a gun with light at someone who isnt a threat will get you agravated assault including police who do this all the time, you never point weapon mounted light at some one when no attack is in progress, thats why old school holding light with other hand is better since barrel is seperate from it and you dont need 2 hands on gun in the context of a private citizen defense close quaters incident, military and law enforcement is not even close to private citizens incidences that last less the 6 seconds under 10 yards, you dont need a weapon mounted light just take cover and for home you need a flash light in hand not weapon mounted light, those are for when a person is a obvious threat and almost all home invasions are won not even having a charging threat but a running away threat, you should know your oun home layout so you dont need a attached weapon mounted light or any optic, you should have night lights and ambient light you have in urban neighborhoods

i know about all speed loaders, this video is not about them, i do videos on specific things

i stop at 15 grain but loading medium weight pellets is best like 8.5 to 11.0

Agreed. It simply shouldn’t require this level of effort to load a mag. It’s either product design or quality control.

@@runerebel8441 held up good so far, i dont shoot it a lot but still performing good

@@libra7624 Thanks for the info.

these i did a test and they hold together going about the day doing things

i like to develop a plan or strategy even with guns we normally dont use for defense, a big unloaded gun especially revolvers can make a good club or hammer weapon if empty, even high capacity guys need to consider that if a jam or something andthen after using itas a club getting otthat knife being you may not get to back up gun, a little front fixed blade is very fast like a 3 inch, the reason for 3 inch is if you went for gun you could toss the knife where as a big bowie knife you leave a big knife for attacker to get ahold of or you would have to toss it far enough to get rid ofit if you transitioned to gun, i look at the 3 ich khif to buy me some time for those close quarters attacks where you may not be able toget to gun and you need to make space so that you have distance to draw, stuff like craig douglas close quarters combat things you can do with a quick draw knife

for a knife stealth and tactics, stealth is a black belt and black fixed blade knife not seen well by the public because color blends in and tactics is a fast way to get knife out, think of it as quick draw knife appendix and easy access for speed

use screen shot on my videos for data the model 35 is very fun and fun all day shooting get 2 and have targets out to 40 yards competition, accuracy maybe 1 inch less every 10 yards added so 40 yards 4 inch targets should be not to hard yet not to easy, 4 inches at 40 yards is good for a smooth bore and maybe 3 inches or less at 40 with daisy 880 should be good for a standard

@@libra7624 I live for airgun tinkering. I've got "to do" airgun lists (repairs, zeroing, pellet tests, mods), labeled test targets, and tins of pellets cluttering my place, Lol. I've been an airgun fanatic for over 30 years. 👍👍😃

they need lube every hundred shots or so, a dry O ring rubs and peals by friction, so if tube hole is chamfered then its also less of a chance cutting into O ring

@@libra7624 High Libra yes i understand your comments re. Maintenance. I'm 82 yrs old and i have owned or have used mostly every type of air weapon, i have always serviced my weapons to what my experiance / or the handbook says should be done. This includes shotguns - smallbore rifles - and various FAC weapons. I served 5 years engineering apprenticeship with the military. Raced motorcycles for ten years. And for 35 years designed and built race bikes for many customers some gained wins /places on my machines. I serviced many of my customers bikes. But now i just want to do a bit of garden shooting hence the P17 - Hw40, my other 2 handguns are far to powerful for the garden. Keep up your info. M.M.

@@davefellhoelter1343 thanks for comment and share of any ideas, black electric tape i have, some gorrila tape, hockey tape is a new thing i found works good, also if i keep every thing black i see more resources for ideas since so many things are available in black and hides in public so slightly stealthy or tactical. I want to learn paracord tie art and make a few things as well

@@theopencarryguy5.0 a smart, brave and trained open carrier is a rare breed, we are not a target as they claim, its your mind set and how you handle yourself, avoiding problem places even though we can out draw a threat and have eyes like a hawk, this push to conceal carry all the time hides what our fore fathers fought for wich is to have your gun ready on you hip amd in the public eye, if the public sees more open carriers it will "normalize" gun carry and citizens seeing we are decent people and they will cool off and see that maybe the 2nd amendment wasnt bad after all and that citizens and police will see our firearm on hip knowing we dont hid anything but show we are decent citizens with no bad intent

@@theopencarryguy5.0 amazed how many gullable guys there are that never looked into all the variables of open carry and those that are wise about it

great gun but it makes you work for it by loading slow and careful and a quick bore snake down barrel and a drop of oil every few hundred rounds, these guns can over heat so if say like a mag dump or something give her a break and have a sip of coffee or check phone for messages, these are light wich is a great carry advantage at the expense of a thin barrel that needs a break cooling down, many forget 22 lr powder is dirty unlike 380, 9 mm and such because costs are kept down the chamber wall get dirty and need a swab or bore snake in the chamber to allow good ejection, if you accasionally carry this its easy to walk around town having 100 rounds or more not weighing you down or showing through clothes, essentially you like a one man army with lots of firepower even though a 22 lr and wont run out of ammo, once you get the CCI 40 grain maxi mags and gun is clean and lubed before carry it should be able to defend you as well, espeicially if you do run and gun drills with speed and accurcy wich comes easy being you have no recoil, a success for 22 lr you can read about is the barreta 71 and how 22 lr was used by IDF to take out dozens of guys at close quarters with AK 47"s proving that training with a 22 lr a AK 47 and even someone with a AR 15 can be overwhelmed by a 22 lr, so its not the nessesarily the caliber but how you use your caliber for speed and accuracy and knowing your gun like its a part of your body, gun defense is a form of martial arts, the little guy 22 lr doesnt necessarily lose as we assume, 'its not the size of the dog in the fight but the fight in th dog"

@@libra7624just picked up a new Taurus TX22 TORO and it’s flawless. You can load them quick without much thought; exactly how the P322 should be. Really hope Sig redesigns this based on the TX22. Now, I can no longer be bothered with the P322.

@@miles267 even experts load these sig mags wrong is what amazed me, but slow loading is its downside and mag price sig is greedy, been a year and 12 of 25 round mags and 5 of 20 so basically a wole bulk pack or 400 rounds, about 35 minutes to load as well but fun if all loaded on plinking days, taurus has some excellent 22 lr pistols that i seen people carry for defence, these 22 lr pistols are light and draw fast as well

its based on a colt replica so hammer on a empty for shure even though i tested it on the range lowered hammer resting on rim not marked but as i said a little bump and she will go off, 6 in half cock the same i wouldnt carry it either being its hung up on a sear so 5 isnt bad, be nice if they had a safety notch between two chambers so you can carry 6 and it would be like a NAA mini revolver style having safety notches

@@TB2CBT 5.5 and pellets stay 15 grain or lighter, its a fun plinker but need a light pellet to get out further then 20 yards

@@libra7624 So do you recommend me to buy this gun in 5.5 mm?

@@TB2CBT its nice to have it in 5.5

maxed out you click up untill it dont click then back off 5, max outs are for wanting low velocity yet long range, for example pump air guns using 1 pump you can hit targets 30 yards with lightest pellets

half cock, inspect that no firing pin is stuck forward by looking and feeling, then load with barrel awareness, not allowing muzzle facing a unsafe area

@libra7624 I Appreciate this, this will be my son's 1st EDC. he has shot Taurus and Glocks, and Bersas n several revolvers and rifles but nothing like this. I never realized how easy this one could go horribly wrong in what feels like normal loading, it says on it to put it on safe before loading but I didn't notice that until watching this video. My son is extremely intelligent, so I know after watching this he will take it seriously.

competition's shooters grip high right thumb over left high thumb has caused officers guns to malfunction in real situations, on the range may seem ok but that grip is weak and 4 problems i mention and no problems left thumb over right except mag catch on some guns may need a slight modified grip

@@libra7624 mentioning the magazine thing, I often can't reach the release without breaking my grip. To avoid that I've been using my left thumb since it's already there. I prefer to not drop my mags on the ground and catch em with the little finger. In a combat situation I wouldn't bother to do that. Out of curiosity how do you feel about overbore rifle grip?

2 hands is good but gun fights only last 3 seconds, usually 1 hand close quarters but more distance if you have it then time will allow you that support hand, we should practice one hand draws replicating the possibility of not enough time for that second hand

@@oubliette862 overbore rifle grip i would need to know details to be able to give my opinion, your left thumb mag release works for many so good way to solve that

@@libra7624 it's when the thumb is overtop the rifles barrel. Always looks like someone trying to rub one out, but with a rifle. It looks ridiculous and I can't find any good reason to do that, short of maybe being a trend.

dont use heavier then 13 because it puts more pressure on the seal, use 10.5 grain pellets wich are not to heavy but dont use pellets under 7.5 grain that cause pston seal to slam the breach

turrets cant be turned to far on a 4x15 so 50 yard zero these were made for, not much adjusting for turrets before spring in turret loses tension so 50 yards and no more i think is best, 4x32 is more suitable for 100 yards

thats poor shot placement usually, we would need to know where shot placement was, what distance and if barriers were in the way like branches and such, going by one persons experience doesnt equate to all others having a bad expeience, hogs much bigger then racoons have been taken by break barrel air rifles, so i think he may be having a shot placement issue, keith warren even takes medium game with pellet guns and 22 rifles so i thinkk we would have to see if guy hunting with stingers is hunting the right way making accurate shots

​@libra7624 - I found a video more in line with your comments. I don't know if you want links in your comments, so the channel is Pines to Palms "Hunting raccoons with CCI .22 Stingers"

same here 7.65 and accrate 32, you dont miss with this gun, accuracy is why it was used as a police pistol, shot placement the most impotant for defense
