I have been a Glock Guy all my shooting life but Now, at 78 years old, I have switched to a P17 for my EDC Gun! I can shoot this gun better than any gun I have ever used and I am very Confident with the 22LR Round for my self defense needs! As we get older, some of us need to make adjustments and I have done so with confidence! I am very happy to see that you have included the P17 as a good carry gun! I purchased one over a year ago and I was so impressed with it, so I purchased a second one four months later! I have shot thousands of rounds through these guns without any malfunctions and I do recommend this handgun for self defense!
I'm a 73 year old retiree with numerous health issues and I cannot handle the recoil from a 9 mm or larger. No 12 ga. shotgun either. Ammo for a .22 can cost between $.05 and $0.10 where ammo for a 9mm. can cost up to a dollar a round. I just bought a .380 for $232.99 and ammo was $.24. I don't really want to kill anybody, I just don't want them to kill me.
Nice video, but I can't believe your #1 is an 8 shot revolver while you completely ignored the TX 22. Twice the capacity, better accuracy and quicker reloads if needed. Major oversight as far as I'm concerned.
a .22 LR bullet is capable of inflicting very serious injuries (e.g. the four people wounded during the Reagan assassination attempt) or death e.g. the Kauhajoki school shooting (11 killed and 1 wounded), the Jokela school shooting (8 killed and 1 wounded), or the 1979 Cleveland Elementary School shooting (2 killed and 8 wounded) as well as the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Numerous other shooting incidents have demonstrated that .22 LR bullets can easily kill or seriously injure humans
I have the Ruger SR 22. Fantastic semi auto pistol. Fit and feel are perfect for bigger hands like myself. Very accurate out of the box, 10 round mags and just a blast to shoot. Two different interchangeable grips so people with smaller hands can be comfortable shooting this fine piece of American craftsmanship. Well balanced and not over priced. IMO, best semi auto .22 out there. Thank you for sharing a very good video.
I own two Kel-Tec P-17's. I frequently go to an indoor range. The one I carry. I have fired about 1500 rounds through it. At ten yards, groups are about 2"-3". Its low weight. Large capacity magazine. Very accurate and reliable. Make it a carry weapon you can trust. Some people say 22LR has no stopping power. Some say its not the size of the hole. But how many. I trust my P-17's will get the job done.
I’ve never shot a gun that didn’t have ‘some’ recoil. The TX22 is minimal and certainly quite manageable. I’ve owned and carried numerous pistols as my EDC. For many many years my Glock 23 has been my primary EDC. Now at 67 I recently purchased a TX22 Competition as just a fun and less expensive training gun. To my utter amazement I fell in love during my first range outing. My FIRST 5 shot group was less than 3” and my re-acquisition was almost immediate. I’m seriously considering it as my new EDC pending finding the best tactical cartridge.
Tx22 runs awesome w/ or w/o a can, had a few issues with the mags at first but after a couple hundred rounds I haven’t had an issue since. The drawback of plastic mags 🤷🏼♂️
Wow, totally missed the TX22 and Ruger SR22 as one of the best. I have the TX22 and it has great ergonomics, smooth & light trigger pull, available with or without safety, 17 rounds, come with 2 mags, and shoots almost every 22lr ammo out there.
The P17 is better than both. Smaller, way lighter and cheaper, threaded barrel, better trigger and comes with 3 mags. But I probably would have swapped the 942 for the TX22 on the list/
@@michaelbell75 I have lasers on two of my guns M&P9+ & LCP ll 22Lr love them. Don't know how old you are but at 66 I find it greatly helps me get on target and stay on. The LCP if I were any further then 20' couldn't hit anything now I can nail it from 5'-40'. And if I were to sight it could probably hit at 50'or 60'.
I have a Taurus TX 22 Compact. Has been 100 % reliable with any ammo. I had a Ruger SR 22, reliable but it had an upside down manual safety. I got rid of it, it is negative training for a beginner. The cost between the two is also significant. The compact TX 22 size is perfect. After the TX 22 Compact I would probably go with the Keltec.
I have that taurus revolver and it's super accurate. There's enough "heft" to it that it feels good in the hand and the barrel comes down on target for follow up shots. It's built well and it always the favorite out of whatever guns we take to the range...my friends always want to shoot it. Plus, 9 rounds of 22wmr is nothing to laugh at. It's a legit self defense gun!
Really like my Walther. Pocket carry most of the time. Have considered the P17 but my Buckmark is so accurate and fun to shoot. Wish I had the budget to indulge in a collection.
Thanks for making this video, having the precursors to choosing this caliber, and for your understanding of the subject. I have a 9mm that I wear with belt, but carry my LPC II when in gym shorts or going to the mail box/letting my pup out to potty.
Hmmmm? You left out the Taurus TX-22, and the Ruger SR22. My wife has limited hand strength due to cancer treatment and arthritis. She can still comfortably shoot a .22, so I've fixed her up with 2 choices.....the M&P 22 and the SR22. She chooses the Ruger for it's comfortable size (the M&P is the full size version) and easy concealment. With a Vridiun laser, she's good to go in an emergency. I've fed everything thru it for ammo and not one misfire or stovepipe yet (about 500 rds) Very surprised you left this jewel out of your line-up.
I had a Ruger SR22, and it was nicely made, comfortable, and VERY inaccurate. Based on the strong recommendation of an expert friend, I sold the SR22 and got the P17. Not enough experience with the P17 to confirm, but my friend said it was more accurate and easier to shoot than his TX-22.
I have been on youtube many years watching gun reviews I have never seen a positive review of the Glock 44 ---- That in its self makes this list invalid. Who put this list together??? A keyboard warrior that has NEVER shot a pistol??? Where is the Taurus TX 22 ---- there are MANY MANY rave reviews of it? Ruger SR22?? Walther PPQ? Browning Buckmark? ---- I know Daffy Duck put this list together just for clicks!
I have the Glock 44. I've found that it's ammo sensitive. If I use cheap bulk ammo, it'll jam. Also if you don't load the last couple rounds exactly perfectly, it'll jam. But when I use CCI ammo and load it correctly it runs flawlessly.
How did you forget the Taurus TX22? One of the most celebrated weapons for its fantastic reliability, comfort and precision when shooting, which in fact carries 16+1 shots and has a compact version witch 13+1 and compact size.😮
@@franciscoarancibiavillarre7735 I also have a 22lr ppk/s. With the right ammo, a fun bold little shooter. Great for secret missions when you take the dog out for a walk out at night.
It is my understanding that the 22lr ammo has greatly improved over the years. May have been the popularity of the caliber and cost. But reliability I feel has improved. Still have to get the better ammo.
I like to see a semi auto 22 magnum double stack 14-20 round in compact carry size and maybe a Ruger LCP 22 magnum 10 round. The 22 magnum is much better over 22lr
Really...no TX22?!? TX22 surpasses all of these picks. Even the SR22 is better than some of these choices. But by far the Taurus TX22 is better in every category. Eats whatever normal ammo you use, great capacity, nice trigger, adjustable sights, threaded barrel. It is the Glock of the 22lr world. Even better than the ammo sensitive Glock 44 😂
I own the TX22 & P17, best consumer 22lr semi autos I've shot. I agree, the 22lr revolver would be the best for SD reliability. For plinking, tiny groups, & least ammo expense, the 22 lr is great. I choose centerfire for reliably & stopping power.38, 45, 410 wheel guns, 9mm & 45 will always be my choice for SD. I've never had a factory round primer fail & cycling failures are few and far between in centerfire ammo. Can't say that about our beloved 22's🤷🏼
I’m also curious why the Taurus TX22 was not included on the list. From what I’ve seen, they tend to work from the get-go. I’ve been teaching concealed license classes for the past several months and the TX22 are just accurate and reliable. I’ve seen people show up with SR22s, but these guns seem to exhibit occasional cycling problems or ammo sensitivity. Some of it attributed to new shooters having some sense to buy an easy to shoot pistol but failing to read the manual, clean and lube before shooting, and buying decent ammo. The LCP II is interesting but I’ve seen none being used for concealed carry training thus far. The Walter P22 should have made the list as well as the Charter Arms Pathfinder, which is an 8-shot revolver and cheaper than the Taurus or S&W. I will complement the video on its recommendation to keep 22 revolvers clean.
7:17 - None of the guns pictured were listed! That being said, I have the Ruger Mk IV...awesome/amazing piece of machinery! Thinking about an LCP2/22 - same ammo as my Ruger pistol and rifle (10/22). Already have a .32 Seecamp, but the right number of guns to own always = (N) +1
Looking to get a 22lr caliber pistol for self defense and protection because I’m too poor for 9 mm pistol. even though 22 is a weak round it’s still something that can’t be underestimated with these things you could still be treating as a gangsta.
I several handguns up to 44 magnum. I edc a 45. Still my .22 target gun is loaded and ready. It has been my experience (that e word) that the best gun is the first one you can get to. I had some unexpected trouble a couple years back and there was about 5 seconds to arm myself when this guy tried to kick in my front door. Lucky I had a steel door that bought those 5 seconds. A 22 is not the "best" gun but it is much better than no gun. Guy kicking in my door made the comment, "you have a gun"... well duh.
Personally I don't recommend any of these . Recoil matters and I choose maximum stopping power consistent with a recoil I can handle. At 76 I can handle the 22WRM without problem. So I choose the S333 Thunderstruck, but only the Mk.2. The shorter barrel in the Mk.1 caused bullets to tumble .
I still have my 622. Very light and accurate but the rear sight has had problem perhaps bc it’s on the slide. It was my first auto when I bought it back when I was 18.
You state the Glock 44 is the first gun on the list that does not have a magnum option. I can't find any of the semi auto's on your list that will shoot magnums, all are .22LR's
i think the idea that 22LR is unreliable comes from 22LR leaves unburned residue in the chamber he problem is that if it is not cleaned and lubbed it can gum up effecting reliability. I have fired many thousands of rounds with only a few misfires and that was on cheap ammo - i have never had a misfire with CCi ammo
Yes a Battleship 16in cannon will get the job done surely and the Pygmy poison dart will take time and allow the victim to retaliate a bit. Getting hit by a 40grain bullet is still a message that your world outlook has changed unless the attacker is kick juiced by PCP or coke.
While different than the p17 my cp33 is far and away my most unreliable gun, so I would have a hard time trusting a P17, and really if for self defense an oft overlooked issue is very close quarter self defense, with a auto, if you have to jam the pistol into say someones mid section, the slide could move and disengage firing pin, a revolver, not so
@howardkahn4330 the finest 22 semi auto is the FN502, it has no equal......the taurus 942 has serious probems with it's clyinder and trigger functions........ you can not beat SW or Ruger revolvers in 22 cal.
Your list is worthless. The Taurus TX22 outperformed most of the other pistols on this list including the Glock. Therefore your conclusions are extremely suspect and as far as I am concerned worthless.
I agree with another comment here evey time I see a best of any gun they always have pistols that have been seen as being the best or one of the best I watched a multitude of videos on the glock 22lr pistol and even glock lovers admitted the gun was a surprising piece of shit the gun was expensive because of its name only two me these comparison videos are sponsored by the companies that make the gun I would tell anyone watch videos of pistols your interested in that the person doing the tests are not affiliated with any of the companies that are being tested a regular person is not going to feel as though he has to give the gun a good review as far as a 22lr for a carry whepon it's better than a stick but I would much prefer a 9mm or higher they make very decent polymer pistols with 15 round capacity that are not micros but actually aren't that much larger you will find you have a much better grip the sights will be better and easier to see and real compact 9mm that I have tried have a very heavy kick with makes it uncomfortable to fire multiple times people with medium to large size hands will find that getting multiple shots on target under a stressful situation even the best at the range are not going to be relaxed in a situation where a person is firing back if you don't believe me with is understandable listen to the people on u tube that are highly regarded in the world of defensive carry

.22 because i dont want blow my ears if i have to shoot it.
Without the Taurus TX22 Competition even making this list one has to suspect all other basis or bias.
My thoughts exactly.
Uhm try seveRAL 22s and I am onboard with the Taurus TX22
You show a picture of a taurus tx22 but didn't put it on the list why?
personally, my # 1 choice is a browning buckmark, and you will need to take that range clear out to 80 yards,
My #1 choice is a Ruger Mark IV in .22 it’s also very accurate & very reliable!!!
I had one with Aimpoint, trigger job and Pak Myr grips. Sold it and started back up with the Buckmark. Personal preference,
The 942 is great, but where is the TX22?
charter arms pathfinder is even cheaper 8 round snubby revolver, seems same as taurus, I prefer the reliability and simplicity of revolvers
Sig P322 best 22 cal pistol second to none
The TX 22 isn’t on the list but the Glock 44, which reviews badly is???
My SR Ruger 22
P17...no brainer !
If you shoot the perp in the eye, game over for them. You don't need ear plugs with a 22.

I still have my 622. Very light and accurate but the rear sight has had problem perhaps bc it’s on the slide. It was my first auto when I bought it back when I was 18.
Why is there no .22 center fire pistols??
You state the Glock 44 is the first gun on the list that does not have a magnum option. I can't find any of the semi auto's on your list that will shoot magnums, all are .22LR's
Surprised I didn't see the Ruger LCR
The revolver is probably the best option.
I heard the revolver has a heavy double action spring which strikes the rim harder than a semi auto increasing the reliability eof a .22 revolver
i think the idea that 22LR is unreliable comes from 22LR leaves unburned residue in the chamber he problem is that if it is not cleaned and lubbed it can gum up effecting reliability.
I have fired many thousands of rounds with only a few misfires and that was on cheap ammo - i have never had a misfire with CCi ammo
I thought this would be a great background video. It was, I guess I just need to clean my gun faster lol 😅
Glock is great‼️
it would be great if someone would come out with a affordable 8 , 9 , or ten shot revolver with a 3 and a half inch barrel.
H & R 929?
So, is it “defence” or defense?
I do not agree with this list. Look for other reviews. Maybe you meant 5 best LR 22 on a budget.
Good luck finding a Taurus 942.
What no Taurus Tx22 ?
Tanfoglio .22 force pocket.
Why show 22mag ammo when showing 22lr guns? They are not interchangeable!! Very confusing for new shooter who don't understanding the difference.
Yes a Battleship 16in cannon will get the job done surely and the Pygmy poison dart will take time and allow the victim to retaliate a bit. Getting hit by a 40grain bullet is still a message that your world outlook has changed unless the attacker is kick juiced by PCP or coke.
While different than the p17 my cp33 is far and away my most unreliable gun, so I would have a hard time trusting a P17, and really if for self defense an oft overlooked issue is very close quarter self defense, with a auto, if you have to jam the pistol into say someones mid section, the slide could move and disengage firing pin, a revolver, not so
You paid way too much for keltec p17. Got mine for 180.00. It also comes with 3 mags.😮
Walther p22
How much the cost
Reliable kel tec 😂😂😂😂😂. I have NEVER seen any kel tec shoot 1 full mag without a malfuntion.
Where's the Black Mamba?
@howardkahn4330
the finest 22 semi auto is the FN502, it has no equal......the taurus 942 has serious probems with it's clyinder and trigger functions........ you can not beat SW or Ruger revolvers in 22 cal.
..... fn 502?
No ruger Lcr? Unthinkable.
Same price as #1. Far less weight. Shrouded hammer. 3 huge benefits over your #1
Either this is a computer talking or this person wasn't paying attention when being taught how to read.
You lost me when there was no tx22.
Your list is worthless. The Taurus TX22 outperformed most of the other pistols on this list including the Glock. Therefore your conclusions are extremely suspect and as far as I am concerned worthless.
The keltec doesn’t come In magnum what?
I think a Beretta would be better
Price current
S&W is made by Walther
Volquartsen
A revolver for #1 that's a joke. Where is tx22 holding 21 rounds
The Glock 44 well break in your hand. This is a crap video. Taurus tx22, sig p322 Walther P22 all better the keltec or Glock
I agree with another comment here evey time I see a best of any gun they always have pistols that have been seen as being the best or one of the best I watched a multitude of videos on the glock 22lr pistol and even glock lovers admitted the gun was a surprising piece of shit the gun was expensive because of its name only two me these comparison videos are sponsored by the companies that make the gun I would tell anyone watch videos of pistols your interested in that the person doing the tests are not affiliated with any of the companies that are being tested a regular person is not going to feel as though he has to give the gun a good review as far as a 22lr for a carry whepon it's better than a stick but I would much prefer a 9mm or higher they make very decent polymer pistols with 15 round capacity that are not micros but actually aren't that much larger you will find you have a much better grip the sights will be better and easier to see and real compact 9mm that I have tried have a very heavy kick with makes it uncomfortable to fire multiple times people with medium to large size hands will find that getting multiple shots on target under a stressful situation even the best at the range are not going to be relaxed in a situation where a person is firing back if you don't believe me with is understandable listen to the people on u tube that are highly regarded in the world of defensive carry
