My local outdoor store had a sale on all safeguard. 5k limit 8.95 a box of 50 for 115g 9 and 11.95 for 10mm 180g.

i believe a 20 inch barrel would be considered a rifle length. I have a 16 inch saddle ring carbine. Both can be carried in a scabbard on horseback. The 16 inch would be more convenient in a vertical carry near the saddle horn. I have been blessed to find the 16 inch in a 30-30 and 44 mag, both angle eject. The Williams peep sight is an aftermarket add on. The Williams peeps have mounting options for the early model you have and for an angle eject. The angle eject is factory drilled to mount a scope or a Peep. The benefit of the 20 inch is more velocity. than the 16 inch. Great video, thanks.

Spidermonkey2A. Good video and great shooting. Very nice gun. Thanks for sharing and take care.

Spidermonkey, I own a Model 25 and several newer state of the art 22s. While I have owned mine for 60 + years it is still the most accurate rifle I own. I also use new CCI Mini Mag ammo which outperforms most if not all other ammo I typically am able to buy. So why the negative comments about them?

I am disappointed by the lack of recoil and blast, can you recommended more boomka for me

Ned to tell people how many grains the bullets are that you are shooting

I love this little pistol! I gave my S&W Shield.40 to my son. As an older fellow this just makes sense. I’m putting a light on it and this is my carry weapon!

My memories of the 49 ithaca come from my best friend / next door neibghor, he got one for his 14th B= Day i think . Me, dad had given me a rem 511 at age 9 . Why he and his family showed up there ? 2 summers , then he drowned in the river , Why his family wanted me to be a onerary palbearer there , from where he came ? He could shoot that little rifle very well.

I still have one. They are very accurate.

So all the videos showing the same rifle shoot tight groups out of the box are bullshit? Not being a smart ass, picking one up next week...I'm just asking

I got mine in 1974 for my Birthday. Still have it and shoots like it did the day I got it. Pretty accurate little gun

Not bad at all 🎉

How many grains is that critical defense round?

Yep! That's the gun that sent me down the firearms rabbithole as a 7yr old kid in 1970. Still sitting behind the kitchen door and doing it's job today!

I had 1 I loved it it was a squrrielkiller mine didn't have the tube I loaned it out &it didn't come back LOL Great gun

Still have mine. It’s killed more animals on the farm than all my other guns.

It’s Ithaca.

I have the same gun ordered and a Redfield 3-9x50 scope ordered for it. Would medium height rings work or would need high scope rings? Thanks

Ithaca... ITH-A-CA!! 😆 I have an Ithaca model 49 in .22 magnum

These were also chambered for 22mag.

Ithaca, not Ithica. Homework.

Maybe try putting the juggs on a table for that better angle

I bought mine in 1968. It was $24 and I still have it. And It is real accurate that's the rifle I used to take my N,R,A, gun safety test I was 15.

I bought one of those in 1967, still have it and still works, the first firearm I bought when my Army tour was over, Ithaca, M49, lever, single shot, 22 LR, 22 L, 22 Short and 22 bird shot.

Thanks to a dear friend of my mother's uncle Paul, Paul could choose a silver-plated or gold-plated featherweight shotgun for deer season near Ithaca, N.Y. Why do you spell Ithica when the 22 is clearly stamped Ithaca?

Nice property

In the summer of 1965 I went into Kittredge Sporting Goods in Mammoth Lakes CA, i was 11 yrs old and wanted to buy a Daisy M-1894 BB gun like my friend had. My uncle said "wouldn't you rather have a .22?" So I looked at their selection of new single shot .22's and it was either a Remington M514 or the Ithaca M49. Loved the look of the Ithaca but even then the pot metal receiver and bbl band turned me off. I bought the Remington ($22) and never regretted it. It still looks great after thousands of rds and a new extractor.

Back in the 70's I used the same 22 for hunting. I bagged more game with it than any other firearm. They owner sold it without letting me know. I'd love to get one.

Also available in a rarely seen .22wmr..

My little girl used the same rifle until she got out of grade school. Great little girl's 1st gun.

My brother has one and I learned to shoot with it. I was so little I had to cock it with both thumbs.

My brother bought one from Montgomery wards in late 70's it shot 6 feet left at 30 or so yards. The barrel was screwed in crooked . We returned it and the replacement shot 4 feet low . They gave him his money back and he bought a Marlin 22 ......it was good to go

I have one just like that my Dad left me Rip Dad.

Nice video i was wondering why it looks like it has a tube magazine under the barrel since it's a single shot ? I have a single shot ithica 20ga lever action to break open and have never seen another one like it, it was my dads and I love it

I had one of those rifles when I was a teenager back in the late 70’s my step dad had bought it for me. I ended up and sold it later in life and regretted doing it. I was at a gun show a couple of years ago and found one and had to buy it. This time this one will not be sold. Thanks for the video it takes me back in time.

Spidermonkey2A. Good video and nice gun in great shape. When I was a kid (~70 years ago) we had a very old single shot .22 that was probably from the 30's or 40's that sat behind my grandparents back entry door. It was in pretty rough shape! But that was the first gun I ever shot. Thanks for sharing and I will look forward to seeing more of your family's guns. Take care.

Awesome little rifle. Great memories too. Thanks for showing it!

Yes I had a good deer season this year. I harvested 2 does, a button buck and a spike. Here in NC we can take deer with 22lr and I have taken many with head shots inside 50 yards. This year I took the first one with my Ruger 10/22 then decided to take each deer with rifles I have not hunted with yet. So my second deer was with my 6x45 Bear Creek AR-15 with a 24" heavy contour ss barrel from Black Hole Weaponry. My third deer was with my Remington 700 Magpul in 260 Remington. The forth was with my Ruger American in 7mm08. If I had taken another one this season it would have been with my Mosin, oh well, I'll start with it next year. Then the 8mm Turkish Mauser, my M 70 in 338 WIn Mag and finally the 458 SOCOM. That's the plan for next season. This started because my wife asked me why I had so many guns when I do most of my hunting with just one or two. So I decided to spread a little love around the collection. Lol

I seem to be a Ruger Man, probably b/c of my dad's brand loyalty (I will always regret selling his .22 Ruger target pistol for pennies on the dollar after he passed...). I now have a P95 9mm (my first handgun, maybe eight years ago) and an SR22 which I love. The Security 380 seems like that perfect fit for me, as I am not crazy about 9mm recoil, and I want something that is more reliable than .22LR.

I bought one around the same time you did, and shot a little bit and put it up.

I feel light primer strikes r an issue with the security series the hammer is in a weak state and then pulling the trigger fully moves it into full cock but I’ve seen the security 9 have light primer strikes on ammo that shoots fine thru all other 9s

I bought one last year and it jammed too, I just assumed it needed cleaned.

Howdy, Wisconsin here too

got sig scopes on all my guns, better then vortex

So a 9x is not good past 100 yards???

My Howa Grendel likes 123 gr bullets.I. bedded the action and relieved the stock where it was touching the barrel.5 shot groups at 100 yds with cheap 15 dollar frontier fmj.100 gr Hornady v match 2 inch groups.Expensivd but not great in my rifle

Armscor should be sued out of existence. They are potentially getting people killed who put their trust in their faulty ammo.

Just bought my GX4 Carry yesterday, lubed the slide, and trigger mechanism, then shot a little over 200 flawless rounds. So happy i chose this for EDC!

You do realize Alexander Arms created the 6.5 Grendel roud right? Of course their ammo will shoot the best out of it. Come on do uour reseaech.

If you condider the single-stack mag of the .45 Shield a 'downer', you can always pick the M&P Compact .45 with its 8+1 capacity. The standard 6rd mags of the .45 Shield offer a true 6+1 carry proposition. The mag with the extended floorplate provides for 7+1 carry.
