I will never forget the first firearms lesson my father taught me when I was only 6 years old. He put his Ruger 10\22 up about an inch from a 8 inch in circumference tree and fired. He then showed me the small hole on the front of the tree and then told me to check out the back. The back of the tree had a golf ball size hole in it and I was stunned. He then said to me "now imagine what that could do to a person.... This is not a toy" that was 36 years ago and I have never forgotten that lesson.... I remember it every time I pick up any firearm......

It is possible to train yourself to shoot with your non-dominant hand, truly ambidextrous or not. Many people do it because their dominant eye is on their non-dominant side. Most people just don't see enough reason or get enough training time to do it(people such as myself,) at least to the point of being proficient. I've thought that it might be a valuable skill to learn though, especially if I ever had the misfortune to lose the use or at least a fair bit of the dexterity of my dominant hand.

Robert Nugent imagine having a suppressed .22 pistol as a home defense option. My logic is that firing a .22 (considering, as you mentioned, the minimal recoil, weight and psychological stutter that higher calibers usually tax on the shooter) automatically makes you a much better marksman. If someone breaks into my house and I have to put several rounds into him to neutralize the threat, it’s still not likely that he’ll “drop” regardless of the caliper. We see this time after time in police or surveillance videos. Some perp is shot several times, center mass and still manages to either flee or pursue the shooter. As awful as it sounds, If you can crack someone in the face with the aided accuracy of a .22 the threat is MUCH less likely to continue a violent pursuit against you. That’s my logic. But this is also coming from someone who isn’t as good as he’d like to be with a 9mm or .40 or any respectable round lol

The IDF uses the .22 against violent rioters. Of all the footage I've seen, not a single one of the rioters continued rioting after catching a .22 to the shin. They also use the 10/22 to take out guard dogs, sentries, lights and to bust windows. The Russians developed a .22 urban sniper rifle in the war with the Chechnyans to match the civilian .22 snipers the Chechnyans were using to great effect against the Russian army. American soldiers in Vietnam were deployed with .22 rifles when they were sent into tunnels. Plenty of insurgent forces around the world have used the .22 to deadly effect going all the way back to the French and Chinese resistances of WW2 up until today in 2021 in the middle east. A bullet is a bullet. Shot placement is shot placement. A tool made for killing will kill so long as the person using the tool is adequately trained and has the desire to kill.

@will smith Unless you're defending against a SWAT team or Ned Kelly's gang, intruders are probably not going to be very heavily armoured. A .22 will do the job just fine. Also, the psychological threshold for pulling the trigger is going to be lower for .22s than for higher calibers. Lower maximum damage potential, sure, but that also goes for accidental discharges or friendly fire - the former of which is going to be a much more likely scenario for most than a home defence situation. Besides, lower caliber=less damage to your own house.

The Ruger 10/22 I shot more than all my other firearms combined, and that included other .22s. A while back, the M&P 15-22 was $349.99, and S&W had a rebate on the M&P line. Normally it excluded the M&P9 and 15-22, but there was no fine print, so I figured why not try. 4 to 6 weeks later I had a hundred dollar rebate card! Now with the prices of ammo, I have been shooting nothing but .22lr, except when the Army is provided the ammo. (Army Reserve)

I just have to say thank you for this. The fact that you're willing to talk about people who may have sound sensitivity and not be condescending about it is huge to me honestly. I've been shot at before and have PTSD from the experience, and while that PTSD doesn't manifest itself in a way that keeps me from using a higher power firearm, I can easily see how others might be left finding higher powered firearms to be very uncomfortable to shoot. So thank you for genuinely caring about folks and not making them feel like shit for things they can't help. You're good people, sir.

I think the speed at which a semi auto .22 rifle can pump tiny lead bullets into a perp with no recoil and even under stress more than makes up for any of its short comings. I could put 10 rounds in a quarter at 10 yards faster than I could put 3 shots on a paper plate with my 9mm at the same distance. The lack of recoil and the muzzle never leaving your POA is just a huge advantage. They might not be large bullets, but they add up quickly in quantity in a very short time.

Paul, thank you for this video. Though by the time I saw it, it's been 5 and a half years since you did it. Let me add a very personal notation to this. Without going into great detail; my oldest brother was killed by a .22 round. He had an A.D./N.D. and I list that as such because it WAS an accident, but he did commit the ultimate act of negligence. He received a firearm and took it to be UNloaded based on his friend's statement that it was. AND my brother failed to check it first. As he rotated the weapon around looking at it, his finger slid down onto the trigger, and, (yes fatal error #2) it discharged. The round struck him under his left eye and well, the effect was devastating in more ways than one. Granted the distance from muzzle to p.o.i. was about 20 inches, the damage was nevertheless total. I can not thank you enough for putting this up, and I agree with your assessment 100% and were it possible to make that 1000% I would do so. You are spot on all the way with it.

He died on the way down the stairs. {The post mortem showed she had placed a round right through his heart.} She was distraught at having had to kill someone and still very shaken.

Sorry, they do not ricochet. Please consider that most of the muzzle energy is expended during any penetration. Thus, there is nothing left to propel the round from point to point randomly. Thanks. Semper Fi! I'm a US Marine vet myself.

I think it's because a lot of people are not that smart or don't care. They just want to see things get shot.

I did laugh out loud. I kind of suspected he would do that, but it was still funny to watch it. However I thought he'd declare that a win over the .22 hits, energy transfer and all. lol

Thank you for all of the educational and entertaining content! You are an exceptional teacher, Paul! I very much appreciate your sense of humor, too. Your laugh at 2:37 reminded me of Troy McClure. "Hi, I'm Paul Harrell! You might remember me from such KZbin videos as 'Something, or Nothing?' and 'Home Defense with Shatneresque Pauses,' brought to you by Pop-Tarts." Keep up the great work!

@jeremiahthompson93675 жыл бұрын
One big reason for a .22 for home defense, and the reason I'm switching, is if you live in a trailer park/apartment/crowded suburban neighborhood where overpenetration/misses can be a major problem.

Ya using 12 gauge even if you live in the woods on a farm your gonna have to remodel the last thing I wanna do after mopping up a puddle of blood is hang drywall.

@@hermitvoncrab7174 If you hit him with the 12 ga it might not over penetrate & hit the dry wall anyway, depends on shot size etc. I've seen some penetration tests with 00 Buck in gelatin & I don't believe it over penetrated, you might want to check, there's also low recoil L.E. 00 Buck which will probably penetrate even less.

20 guage for trailer park. #8-7. Plenty of up close hitting power, but mostly just messy. Unless a face shot its survivable. Be ready with a follow up round. That call be a bigger load or a deer slug.

I love my .22lr have had it for 14 years quiet and effective, here in the uk we have a firearms licensing system, I did have a 223 centre fire a few years ago, for fox control, but when you fired it even with silencer on, everything disappeared for hours, that tikka was a stunning gun but soon sold. I've now fitted a thumbhole grey laminate Boyd stock on the 22 and it's awesome. It's a cz542 heavy, I've polished the internals and it's suits me for pest/vermin control. Great video. Regards Jon

Thanks for making this video. I’ve argued with a lot of people that a .22 beats the heck out of not having anything and that it’s still a firearm and will have stopping power.
