CCI Stinger: Pocket Pistol Ammo Test

[@PreservationOfLiberty]

Thanks for the testing & info! I occasionally pocket carry a Ruger LCP2 chambered in .22LR when I’m out exercising or doing yard work during the summer months. I keep it loaded with CCI Stingers & will definitely continue to do so!

Some nice results! I like the stingers too.

Good point on the tumbling. We're starting with a 22 cal bullet and at a velocity where expansion would only limit the small amount of penetration available. This being said tumbling is about the only way to achieve a bigger wound channel.

[@Paelorian]

Where the bullet isn't tumbling, there's a slightly larger wound channel with a flat nose compared to a rounded or spitzer tip. Not quite the wadcutter effect, but better than a round nose because it's pushing with pressure over more surface area. So that's something for Federal Punch, I think it's a better shape for the wound channel when the bullet isn't tumbling. But tumbling will make more of a difference and I don't expect much of a difference between such a small flat nose and an unexpended hollow point. It would be interesting to see self-defense rounds using a flat full-wadcutter face for .22LR revolvers and derringers. But since there are so many .22 autoloading pistols, companies might be reluctant to bring such a round to market as it wouldn't feed in many .22 pistols.

Good test man, thanks for posting!

Love your reviews!

[@RickNethery]

Looks like they were still pretty potent out of that pistol. Way better than a sharp stick, brother. 👍

[@1957Shep]

Still pretty good considering the short barrel.

[@BrokenBarBox]

Another great test! I’m honestly amazed at the velocity the short barrel is able to achieve as well as the penetration. I decided on the Punch round for my Stinger after watching your last video and finding it was the most accurate round I tested at 5 yards. Have you put these on paper to see what your gun shoots the best?

Thanks for the data

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

You gotta try the Aguila Supermaximum HP 👍

[@professorpewpuew]

Definitely well. Don't forget to check out the Mossberg MVP review you asked for!

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

@@professorpewpuew I already watched and commented on it a couple days ago, was wondering why you didn't reply back...

[@patrickrossetti7109]

They need to make more of these derringers in double action.

[@professorpewpuew]

I would love to see a remake of one of those old High Standard derringers
