All I carry... gave up bigger calibers, so comfortable and I know I can land multiple shots in self defense. Great channel

[@dylanpaul1212]

Would using this with some stingers be just as good for self defense you think? I currently Carrie a Glock 19 Gen 5 9mm

[@that1993mustang]

@@dylanpaul1212 lmao no. Stingers may have a higher velocity but don’t exert anywhere near the same force as a defensive round 9mm. Carrying 22lr as a defensive round is taking a bet on having it malfunction when you need it, which is why 22LR is mostly only used for plinking

[@zenosperformance1125]

howardgreenwood I upgraded to the steel guide rod and spring. You can get them on line Amazon or EBay. free shipping for about $20.00 or so.I keep the polymer in my bag and change around now and then. Does it make me shoot better! I don't think so but steel guide rod does not bend at all. The steel is heavier than polymer. I like that.

[@deeremeyer1749]

Tandemkross makes stainless guide rods and 5-round extensions for the mags, but the modified mags won't lock back the slide. I've also found them to be unreliable feeding the first round when clear full. They work better with 14 rounds or in a 14+1 situation.

[@morgan3105]

Same here-

[@bramcurtis6900]

I personally carry this weapon. I laugh at ppl who denigrate the .22 as a personal defense weapon. I read a study that examined over 15 hundred shootings in the US. The only criterion was caliber and the result. 30% of ppl shot in self defense situations with a .22 died. Never think the .22 isnt a fatal round. Any weapon is better than no weapon. And any hole in you that isnt supposed to be there is a bad thing. And in 100% of the situations where the attacker was hit...if he remained mobile...he ran away. NO ONE hung around to be shot twice. Your goal is to STOP the attack. With a .22...hit your attacker ONCE...and the attack is over. Mission accomplished. And with the price of ammo you can practice enough to be a seriously good shot. When I carry I exclusively carry 45 grain Hornady Critical Defense hollow points. I buy Aguila Super Extra High Velocity 40 grain rounds to practice at 40 bucks for 500 rounds.

I'm glad you gave it a good review. Even us creaky old seniors are armed now. Last week while walking my dog, some asshole went by me at about 60 in a 25 so I yelled slow down. He slams on his breaks and yells, "SHUT YOUR MOUTH OLD MAN OR I'LL GET OUT AND BEAT YOUR ASS"...I waited, he didn't get out. I won't be bullied. Now I take my Gun for a walk with the dog.

I got my SR22 yesterday in part because of this review. I traded in my almost new Ruger Mark III 22/45 (Model 10107). The Mark III kept chewing my fingers up and was just too difficult to disassemble. It was very accurate but it wasn't for me. The SR 22 is a great gun. It remedies all of the problems I had with the Mark III. This video was the catalyst for the purchase which I am very pleased with. I look forward to moving a lot of brass with it for a long tome. Thanks Sooch!

[@MorbisDraconis]

Just shot mine for the first time. My first .22 at that. Only 2 malfunctions out of around 200 rounds of a bulk box Winchester. Very easy to load mags and easy to disassemble. Nice change up from the larger calibers. Highly recommended pistol. Only thing I did was replace the oem recoil spring with a captured one.

[@kellythaxton6692]

I was sold until the safety

[@1129BAMF]

After much review reading, I went and picked up the SR22 about 6 mos ago and LOVE IT. I've put about 800 rounds through it without a single FTF or hiccup of any sort. This includes putting a few hundred rounds between cleanings (which is incredible considering how filthy the .22lr rounds are). Highly recommended! Ruger did it right.

[@RockawayCCW]

I've been using a Ruger SR22 as one of my classroom guns and here is something I have learned. After about 5000 rounds the follower will start sticking and causes failure to feed but this is easily fixed by disassembling the magazine and cleaning it inside and out. Also, reassembling the magazine, make sure you get the thumb tab in correctly. If it is upside down, it will trip the slide lock before the magazine is empty.

[@OHMIBushcraft]

Love the Rugers! I like the manual safety for CCW carry. If you train with it, it won't be a problem.

I was very impressed with the manufacturing quality and the decocker. However, at $525, in May of 2022, while I may buy this eventually to add to my Ruger collection, the Taurus tx22, based just on price, and a 16 round mag, will probably be purchased first. But.. not definitely.. :)

I really love this gun I have a about a dozen pistols, this is just a great all-around can-do almost anything and I only say almost because I can't carry it in the woods where I live because we have a lot of bears not to mention wolves and cougars I am sure you could kill a wolf or a cougar in the head with it I'm not quite sure about a bear but anything's better than nothing they say if you are up against a bear with a 22 you have to shoot it through the eyeball to get to the brain but this would be a fine concealed carry for the two leg predators LOL it's just a great little survival piece to have not to mention you can stockpile thousands of rounds of 22 and shoot this till the end of times just for fun. The breakdown is different than a lot of standard pistols unlike a Glock or a sig Sauer I took mine all apart just out of curiosity it is quite the design very interesting but quite simple to disassemble and reassemble, I absolutely love the function of the magazines with the pull down mechanism for easy loading, I have never had one single malfunction and would highly recommend this.

[@Wormhole798]

This is a wonderful pistol. It is well balanced, easy to breakdown and accepts bulk 22 lr. Further, it's ambidextrous and for those of us who are left handers, it made using the weapon really nice. I bought two additional magazines and speed loaders. I ran about 400 rounds through the weapon using Winchester, Xpert hollow point, Federal copper head and CCI lr. mini-mag copperhead with only one stove pipe and one jam. However, using the CCI lr. Copperhead gave me nothing but trouble with jams and stovepipes. In conclusion, I recommend getting them 22lr. with the longer mag bullet because they seem to feed better and eject without issues. Experiment with other 22lr. ammunition. Thank you for your time. Be safe, and remember, always treat a firearm as if it were loaded.

[@BellumExterminatio]

If you are thinking about getting one of these. DO NOT use low velocity ammo with this. Will not cycle rounds correctly

[@zackzittel7683]

Why not? You’d recommend the p22 over this? Your bias has you thinking wrong. The p22 is the worst thing that ever happened to Walter. It wasn’t even made in the same factory as the rest of walthers pistol. The mag release sux the cast zinc slide is jank and the pencil thin barrel is a joke it has a sleeve that goes over it to make it look less pathetic. And it’s not secured to the locking block by worth a shit. The sleeve and barrel are held in place by the nut the muzzle/thread protector threads onto. I’ve shot 3 in the last year, all completely unreliable. The sr22 is built better and designed better and has a much sturdier anchored barrel. And is waaaaaaay more reliable. I removed the mag safety on mine.

[@zackzittel7683]

I ran 10k of cheapie Centurian through these and my 10-22's, while the P-22, Buckmark and Standard would not consistently fire or feed. They are also great for teaching how to break down and clean handguns at the entry level.

[@johngrunwell2412]

Great practice @ $8 for Mini Mags 100rds vs $13-$15 for 50 9mm rounds. I've also installed the steel guiderod as you and also reversed the rear sight blade (blackened) and added a fiberoptic front sight. I also run the CCI Velocitor 40gr 1435 fps (the GoldDot in .22cal). Of course my actual muzzle velocity likely around 1100 fps. or less. And yes, I do EDC this gun along with my G26 or G19. The SR22 is accurate and in NRA rapid fire @ 45ft I place more rounds in a 4" circle than either of my 9mm's. The SR22 was designed to carry. I also added an Olight PL MINI II (600 LUMINS) to the rail. I use a soft belt clip holster for IWB carry. In my mind, more rounds on target and quickly. In practice from either low ready or holster draw, @ 30 feet I place 5rds dead on target in 2secs. rather than 3rds with my 9mm in 2.25-2.5 secs. I'm 72yo and to me that's GREAT. Good review. PS: I would not run BULK AMMO thru this or any .22cal semi auto. They are LOW QUALITY and they will just piss you-off. They will generally function in a rifle with and occasional misfire.

[@joelk9603]

Had the Ruger SR22 for about 6 months, absolutely love it! The ambidextrous safety and mag release makes it perfect for left/right hand practice. Probably had 3-5 fail-to-feed, and 2 fail-to-fire of the 2,500 rounds I put through it so far. I shoot nothing but the cheapest bulk ammo I can find, which works just fine. Tried a new stainless guide rod and captive recoil spring from Galloway Precision, which did not work at all. Could not get the slide back on the frame with the Galloway guide rod, Galloway could not help or understand why it did not fit, so I returned it and went back to the plastic guide rod and loose spring.After adjusting the sights (waaaay off from the factory), I found the SR22 to be tack-driving accurate, and can typically put everything in the black at 25 yards. Much cheaper and more comfortable to shoot than my centerfire pistols, excellent for training new shooters and for general practice.

We would load and shoot what ever came out of the container and this pistol never had a single issue with any type of ammo we fed it. We would shot it continuously till we ran out of ammo. We shot about 400 rounds and it was flawless. Good weapon to have in your collection.

I am now picking up the this sweet little pistol tomorrow and if it were not for this great video review I might not have done so but the video being what it is, well it broke it all down to layman’s terms and I know for the price I am pretty much stealing this pistol from my FFL. Once again, thanks for a great review and long live our great republic!

As always, your reviews are the best

[@tomanderson2487]

Why the heck did they make the safety work in the opposite direction then we are all used to???

[@robt8173]

Hello, Sootch00, I'm a subscriber to your channel and really enjoy your info. Thanks for all the great advice and reviews. Just wanted to share with you how I modified my SR22 magazines to hold 11 instead of 10. Hope this helps. Have a great day. Al at ICarry.cc channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5WbiHqEiZx9o9U

Great review, Ive had one for awhile and it is so much fun to shoot. Keep an eye on the takedown lever, there have been some vids on the lever breaking and it falling apart while your shooting which can be dangerous.

Hey Sootch00, I just bought the SR22 for my wife, and from what I've seen so far, I made the right choice for her personal carry weapon. About that BrassStacker Ruger SR22 guide rod, what are the benefits of the upgrade? I tried to ask them on their website, but I think thy're having issues with the site. Any info you can give would be helpful; should I buy one?

My husband just purchased this little beauty for me this weekend. Can't wait to try her at the range this week. Great review. Thank you

Just recently considered getting a 22 pistol .... Came across the SR22 while looking and searched YT for a review. I just want to say, this video is the absolute BEST review of any gun I have watched to date, and I have watched a lot. Kudos for getting to the things people want and need to know and leaving all that ego stuff out...

ive had a mark 2 for many years ,i bought a SR 22 first of the year ,i enjoy shooting it as much as the mark 2 if not more ,mine also came with a threaded barrel w/protection sleeve ,and a adapter and wrench to put a suppressor on it ,it is almost like they tried to put as many acc. on it as they could ,i havent found anything about the gun as of yet that i dislike

[@ZeroDownEnt]

just made a few videos with this gun on my channel. bought mines at the pawn shop, i like the way it looks and how it says SR22 on the gun.

[@koryblack9267]

You have great reviews. Very detailed and I like that

[@markanthonypar-wise1499]

I'd definitely get this for my girlfriend as her carry gun

[@jeffclarke2255]

Just picked up my SR22 2 days ago! Can't wait to go to the range to put some rounds through it.

[@corporalpunish6089]

Was having a hard time deciding between this and the mp22. I liked the feel and trigger on the Ruger but not being a de-cocker fan, the Smith won on that point. Picked the Ruger and had first range session today. Ran a brick of 300 cci mini mag 36gr, 50 x yellowjackets, 50 x stingers, 50x velocitors. All good quality stuff of differing weights. Pistol was 100% with good accuracy. Happy with my choice

[@thomaspalmer7900]

I purchased a Ruger Mark IV .22 target pistol a couple of months ago & man it’s amazingly very accurate and very easy to take a part & clean.

[@Millarussianlady]

Thank you for great review. I LOVE MY SR22

[@Twobarpsi]

How many rounds per clip? What type of ammo? Thanks!

[@kevinb1060]

A no go for me, that safety is backwards

[@papmasterOST]

The Walther slide broke off a piece of slide on top near chamber at the range,then later I seen that I wasn't the only one..I'll NEVER own another Walther Again.
