This is The Best Tactical .22 LR Handgun I've Ever Shot

FN 502 Tactical Review
bit.ly/3h1WcNj
I don't get excited about .22s like that.
Don't get me wrong, they're super fun when you're shooting them, but I don't lose sleep waiting for the release of a new .22.
When I finally got the gun in my hands, I immediately turned into Ralphie from a Christmas story when he finally got his bb gun:
The 502 Tactical is pure overkill for a .22, and I love it.

[@CiiDisabledGang]

I was born with one hand, and faced so much adversity growing up. I thought I wasn’t gonna be able to take care of myself as a man and my family. I was denied my childhood dream of going to the military. Watching you has motivated me to get into the 2nd amendment and I recently shot my Glock 23 .40cal and got bulls eye with my one hand handicap. You showing us it’s possible through your channel continues to inspire and motivate me to be the best version of myself and to stay focused on my purpose. I hope to shoot with you one day with my one hand disability to show others there’s no excuses despite what you’re born with. Much Respect Colion and thank you for being that inspiration! Much Respect ✊🏾

Hey man to start beautiful story! Keep on keeping on! But I'm a glock fan and they have a back slide plate attachment that makes it a mini charging handle and there is a type of device I forget the name but to draw the weapon you first push down to charge the weapon then you draw ready to go. There's also the roni conversion kit that might could be of benefit but anyway just wanted to try and help out if possible.

I've got the TX22. I've found that reliability is almost an issue only with ammo. Yeah, if you never want to clean your gun, it will eventually fail. It is a .22LR after all. That being said, I took my pistol to the range on 4 separate occasions, shot ~500 rounds per visit, and all I did was add lube to the appropriate areas. No cleaning, and no jamming. Then I ran out of the good Winchester ammo, changed to the budget winchester, and had problems. Feed them what they deserve. Give your .22's good ammo.

[@boomerisadog3899]

I really hope it was a 22 magnum and even that isn't ethical in my opinion. If I was hungry I'd use whatever I had but in a world with such easy access to more effective calibers, I find it really hard to justify using anything with less than 500 lbs of energy on a deer. The weakest thing I've used myself is .223 and some people would say even that is unethical. I know a .22lr is capable of taking large game but the margin of error is to small for me.

@@MrBabyStokes Compact, can have a lot of bullets for VERY cheap, criminals not wearing body armor (99% won't) will still feel the pinch and can easily be peppered, it won't go through walls or hardened surfaces, there's virtually zero recoil, it's the only cartridge that can actually be made Hollywood whisper quiet, and you can make okay homemade or even plastic firearms that don't have to be steel tubes that need to withstand over 30k+ PSI.

I got this pistol last Friday and it’s a BOSS!!! Not to mention it comes with 3 optic plates with rear sight still attached to each one for each dot application that coincides with it. I absolutely ran my suppressor on it and it’s a gem. Best firearm purchase of my year, thus far!!

[@awsomedude9111]

I’m wondering if it’s 100% reliable even on cheaper ammo. Seen videos where people’s rifle will hit the rim hard or soft and it won’t go off. Either way it’s probably good subsonic ammo.

[@alonzohall9561]

@@awsomedude9111 I took 5 different kinds of ammo with. The only complaint I had was the CCI stinger. And not because it didn’t run, but because of the blowback with the suppressor on.

Bought this gun yesterday and took it to the range today, it eats all five different types 22s(Winchester M-22(200 rnds), Winchester 525(200 rnds), Federal automatch(325 rnds), standard velocity(100 rnds), and minimag(200 rnds)). I did a lot of magdump/rapid fire to see the reliability, and it eats them all. There were two duds which is not the gun's fault. The slide, especially the barrel is robust and the gun's ergonomics is fantastic, felt nice on the hand. My only issue is the iron sights, it has no whitedots/markings on them, just blank. I think FN designed this gun to make people buy optics because that's where this gun shines even more. Also, the magazine felt somewhat cheap(outer layer is plastic, however the inner layer that's holding the cartridge is metal, at least). And the recoil spring, it felt weak, not stiff enough(I don't know if this is normal in any 22 pistols). My only regret is that I bought the black color because local gunshops don't have it in FDE color. I really wanted the FDE. All-in-all, the gun is worth the money.

Tx-22 does most of that without needing the extended mag. Guess it depends on what type of trigger you want to train with. The tx-22 is striker fired and this looks like a great option for those that like the single/double exposed hammer design. Real question you never answered is how does it run on various ammo and cheap bulk pack stuff? Or does it need expensive CCI to operate reliably?

[@brianclevenger5521]

I have to agree about the TX22. I was shooting with a friend fall of 2022 and he broke out the TX22. I fired a couple of magazines, finished up our range trip then drove straight to Academy and bought one.

All great points but one floor when you have all that tac is that it could be snaggy...under a top. But hey I like 22 this does offer a lot more, but I still would want a kel tec PMR30

[@sdsuch4353]

Or a keltec p16

[@MichaelScottDunderMifflin]

I’d use this as a self defense. Very little recoil and accurate as well. Get the 40 grain hyper velocity ammunition too for some decent damage.

[@Rossmosis]

Would like to see how the reliability fairs once you throw a red dot on it. May end up forcing you up to 40grain at the very least with the added weight. I know my G44 didn't stay reliable once I tried to do the same. That 1-2oz can really play a factor with this caliber.

[@d1ndark25]

Same here. I have a m&p 22 compact. Replaced the rear sight with the lightest optic mount on the market, and the lightest optic I could find that fits on the DeltaPoint mount which was the Viper Optics micro. Went from the most reliable 22 that would literally eat anything to a 22 that would only fire rounds above 1450 fps and that was after removing one of the two recoil springs. So I would LOVE to see how reliable this thing is with a Holosun on there.

[@Florida_Man_Robb]

Another reason why the Taurus TX22 Competition is superior, the optic sits atop the barrel, doesn’t move with the slide.

[@Rossmosis]

@@Florida_Man_Robb Only thing they missed out on that was ambi slide stop/release. Otherwise yeah it's definitely ideal.

[@ChrisRiley3D-Everything]

Looks nice but i'm still in love with my Beretta M9A1 22lr with moded mag to hold 19 rounds. and i would wager it is the best 22 on the planet when it comes to reliability, it can shoot any brand 22 ammo day after day with not one single failure or jam. Ever. and at 1/2 the price of your gun new. but you can have a red dot where i can not so there is that! Great video brother.

[@jasonweaver4950]

[@kevmac1230]

FN is nice stuff.However I needed a 22 lr for reducing my ammo costs as shooting at my range gets expensive in regards to ammo cost.I love 9mm and my favorite is 45 apc. I bought a Walther PPQ 22 lr admittedly due mainly for cost and the Walther name. I researched the gun and it seemed a portion of buyers had problems, mainly with ammo issues especially in the older versions.Claims were made though that these were worked out with the newer PPQ. My experience with it has been stellar,and it has eaten everything put forth, even Winchester Thunder which is a bit dirty but cheap. I don't mind cleaning my guns. The pistol itself has shot true and since I installed a compensator it's practically recoil free.I recently bought a Browning 22 and it'll be good to compare both.If it is anywhere near the performance of my Walther I'll be very happy indeed.

[@redzone1019]

I might have to consider this little 22. That said, until then, I'll stick with my Smith and Wesson M&P 22 compact. Shots just about any 22lr ammo I put through it! With the exception of subsonics. (Smile)

[@libertarian1637]

I recall a couple 22LR carbines from the armory; they were pre-ban machine guns and fired around 1000-1200 rounds/minute and fire from, if I recall, a 275 round drum. 22LR may not seem like much but that carbine blew threw a NIJ 101.6 level 3A vest; it wasn’t on the first round but not much is stopping all that lead. The carbine was almost impossible to not control well given the very low recoil. The only problem was loading the drums which took north of 5 minutes to fill and only 15 odd seconds to empty. They still keep these around, though most departments tend to hold onto things, just in case they’re needed.

[@averageeverydayfishermansh4501]

Love the comments on here from people who think the .22 isn't strong enough or might give you an "infection". And yet not one of these folks would ever volunteer to get shot by one huh!?! For many, 15 rounds of .22 with almost no recoil means good hits on target. A few .22's to the face will ruin someone's day. And these same individuals probably all proudly display their .45's and .44 Magnum's...that they couldn't hit the broad side of the barn when they were in it. Not hitting at what you are aiming at with a big bore vs putting ten to fifteen small caliber holes in the sweet spot!?! Hmmmm... Good try tough guys. LOL!!

[@Black_Heart_Defense]

Nice bait bro, catch anything with it lately?

[@mattfleming86]

I don't carry a 22 for self protection in public places, but I can tell you as a farmer/country bumpkin the 22lr is WAY underrated and needlessly pissed on. In the right hands it is extremely capable. When I am on my land, I usually keep a measly tx22 on my belt (and an rifle on my shoulder or somewhat nearby) Should I not be able to reach my rifle in a moment of crisis, I feel confident that I could do what I needed to do with the 22. I've seen 22's do things that a "puny" cartridge shouldn't be able to do. Plus they are extremely easy to put rounds not just on target, but exactly where you need then to go and quickly. They can absolutely make someone have a very very bad day. Most "tactical"? No... unless you put a can on it.. then it can even do things that other guns can't do.

[@jasonste4lth614]

SR22 owner. I know people aren't impressed with .22, because 9 is a larger caliber, but I wouldn't underestimate 22. This is given the fact that the speed at which a projectile must travel to penetrate skin is 163 fps and to break bone is 213 fps, both of which are quite low, so other factors are more important in producing damage. CNS rupture is very likely with just a 3 round burst and accurate follow up shots from a few feet away, which are easy given the low recoil. Like an icepick in a sowing machine. :) Stingers and Federal Punch are my ready ammo, as recommended. Out of a 500 round box of Armscor, only 3 failures. KEep it clean after every range sesh and you'll be fine. I have a few thousand rounds of different manufactures. More than I would ever have in 9mm. This 509 is a lot like the Ruger SR22 and I like it. Way to go FN. :)
