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.

![[DRIP] ‘Woke Up In Tokyo (RUKA & ASA)’ PREVIEW](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QN44lcR_VkI/mqdefault.jpg)
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 ✊🏾
Keep pushing my guy
Congrats brother... thanks for the inspiration as well!
Thanks for your story!
💪💪
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.
Thanks for the review. I’m glad FN is making a serious pistol for the 22lr. Everyone else treats it like a substandard training tool. The round has legitimate use and deserves a proper platform.
It's not made by FN. It's made by Umarex.
This is my reason to not get one. G44 is actually made by glock
I would have laughed at the thought of owning a Taurus TX22 before I shot one. 22lr is an inexpensive way to get your reps in (and tons of fun). This sounds like a lot of fun, but for the dollar you can’t beat that TX22.
which is why i wouldnt get a G44 lol@@icolater27
I prefer my heritage rough rider in 22 magnum with an oil lantern soldered to the barrel for an authentic 1890s tactical feel
I got one too, may have to look into the oil lantern lol
@@derrongee lmao. Tacticool cowboy style!!
@@constableodo9738 hell yea man!
I have one too but I don't have the magnum cylinder yet.
I will skip the lantern in favor of an extra cylinder for faster reload...
I’m legit Happy and Angry right now. Where were all these cool guns when I was younger with less bills?
I guess it is time to start a new penny jar.
The ruger mark 1 came out in 1949 and imo is a better 22lr pistol. Mark 2, 3 and 4 improved on that design.
@@zillbot oh absolutely. I really want a Ruger Mark 4. There will always be a place in the safe for a Ruger. But I also want something like this 502
@@zillbot Plus I’m an FN fanboy 😁
I have a tx-22. Love it 🤷♂️
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.
Honestly I'm rather impressed. Not one single failure to feed while doing a mag dump.
Still..Grand Power for life :D .22 doesnt matter too much anyway, its a fun little thing to save money on the ammo..mostly
@@MisoElEven 22 is 1 of the most versatile cartridges Is out there. What the hell are you talking about
@@MisoElEven You can hunt with it you can protect yourself with it it's cheap and you can carry a shit ton of it Without noticing. You smell of gun counter talk
The S&W M&P compact .22 will give you that too
@@MeMe-ms2ly Im not sure a .22 pistol is what you would prefer to use to hunt..but who am I to stop you or talk you out of it. Its better than nothing, it can get the job done..but still I wouldnt use it to defend my life if other options are available.
I just inherited my grandfather's american 180 .22 lr in glorious fully semiauto pewvana, paid my stupid stamp fee and my grandmother told me there werebsome bullets in grandads old steamer trunk... yeah what she meant was 3,000 rounds dating all the way back to 1959 and up to 2006. Miss you granddad and hopefully ill see you again so i can ask where the hell this thing was all my 34 years😊
The FN 502 .22 is now considered a gateway gun.
*snorts a line of gunpowder* ITS WHAT ?!?! love me some 22 pew pew.
I first bought and tried a 502 when i was just 14..
Im now 15, divorced, wife took the kids, homeless, broke while drowning in $50 of debt from buying hundreds of .22 to just get my fix.
Learn from my experience people, dont end up like me. Use the credit card for the gun. Not the ammo
So is the Taurus tx 22 😆
@@johndough111 fml lmfao ... hang in there buddy ... you aint alone
Haha just like a .22 Can is the gateway drug to Suppressors!!
Working in the oilfields in Texas I met a cowboy who killed everything with a .22 rifle including quail, coyote, wildcat, boar, javalina, deer, cows... He said "it's a head shot or it's nothing".
He ain't lying either
How do you get a 22lr through the thick skull of a wild boar? Sounds suspect.
@@Falconryder Eyes maybe?
@@Falconryder he said shooting at them through the ear, he said the same with cows apparently it's very soft in that area
@@Falconryder .22 stinger maybe.
I won't lie, that is sexy and now considering getting one. Taking new shooters to the range with this may make more people gun people.
Smart man. If we want people to like guns, that first experience goes a long way. Giving someone a 45acp or even certain 9mm can be uncomfortable to someone that is new, doesn’t have proper grip, etc and turn them off.
Especially with the can. My current pistol host is a Buckmark because they're awesome albeit a little heavy. This looks pcool
The 1st firearm I ever shot was a .50 cal muzzle loader. I was 8 years old the rifle was bigger than me. I was hooked from that moment on but I definitely don’t advise people starting off that way.
@@bradfreed1942 Absolutely! I took my gf a few years back to the range and she never shot anything before. She tried a friends Glock 26, put it down, went to the bathroom and cried. She was having an anxiety attack. She came back though and tried my Beretta 92. She loved it and on the drive home she asked "When are we going back" Now, she loves going.
.22lr is an underrated round.
How so?
@@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. There's a reason why BBs can't be driven into concrete by air pressure, but a .22lr blank from a nail gun can easily drive them into concrete. You just have to know the limitations.
@@MrBabyStokes Its fun to shoot and I just got 1,600 rounds for $170, and that wasn't even a great deal. You can get it for 5cpr if you look long enough.
@@JimmyCougar you made me rethink everything I know about the 22lr and now I got a whole new respect for them… I’m still new to guns so thanks for the knowledge man I appreciate
tbh a Ruger 10/22 is not a terrible home defense choice imo
bro you really made me buy a 509c, and fn45 and now you’re makin me buy this 502. dawg. your reviews sell the gun and makes us happy to get it. love my brotha💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 never been so excited to shoot guns until i came across your channel ‼️
As a nurse of 35 years you've seen Bill share gunshots plus being a hunter who's taken down game of all sizes up to deer with a 22 rimfire I can promise you that way too many people underestimate this small round and it's ability to take down prey.
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.
I agree with you tom c. Alot of people underestimate this round. It has velocity, and range . Colin noir learn something about a small round.
@@boomerisadog3899 headshots.. know you’re firearm so you can take accurate shot you’re sure of
Because it ricochets off of your insides
@Richard Mancl You mean to bounce around inside of your body? Depends on the range. They definitely move around inside you.
This guy deserves so much more praise from us.... PLEASE.... TELL SOMEONE WHAT A GREAT JOB THEY DO AND HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE THEM!
Why? For being an Uncle Tom?
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!!
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.
@@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. The fps on them are 1640. I went back down to everything else between 1000-1100 FPS and it was much better. The subs I do run are the aguila 40 grain. They are 1025 fps.
Two years in, how's it doing? Do you still recommend?
Colion Noir: I don't get excited about 22 handguns... unless they're paying me.
That’s even better. To get paid to shoot guns. Oorah!
It's an FN, I'm sure it's a beast
@@edmonster01 there is a difference between:
Getting paid to shoot guns.
&
Getting paid to be a shill.
@@reformedgarbage5415 like Tim Kennedy lol
My son really needs this ASAP. And my wife and maybe me too.
@wnc817 the money you spend on that Taurus you might as well opt for the cooler one instead IMS
Dang it!!! I'm trying to not be in debt, Colion! Between your reaction, Tim's giddiness, and the fact that FN has clearly hit another one out of the park, now I feel like I'm going to miss out if I don't get one. Thanks a lot, Guys!!!
Between this review and Sage Dynamics review a few days ago, this looks like a solid buy. Will I be giving up the TX22 for it, probably not, but I’ll be keeping my eye on it for sure. Thanks again for your time on this review. Keep on keepin on.
I also have a TX22 and cannot imagine anything that would make me give it up.
I agree the TX 22 is the best for the money honestly can’t see anything beating it in the future at least at that price point!
I'm surprised by these comments on how good the TX22 is I may have to try one, but not sure if a Taurus is near the quality of FN..
@@andyb9994 I have no doubt the 502 is going to be great but Taurus hit it out of the park with the TX22. I know they make budget pistols and have some quality control (and customer service) issues but this is the only Taurus I’ve kept through the years and it has never let me down. Worth looking into while you wait to see if the 502 has any “glitches”.
@@andyb9994 the FN 502 is made by Umarex. Same people who make half the other 22 guns and pellet guns. The only thing FN is the markup
I get it.I feel the same way About my P17 from kel te . I bought mine used. With16 rounds in mag plus 1 in the chamber. It came with three mags a threaded barrel adapter with tools mass of last week for $210. I got an additional slide with a crimson trace optic.
Please put it up against the Taurus. The Taurus is also really awesome.
Yes!
FN502 Tactical vs Ruger Mark IV Lite? I seen you get excited about both, so I was curious about your opinion. I'm looking to get one of these soon
PMR-30 owners when they hear "15 rounds":
"Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power."
💯
CP 33 owners be like "I got 3 more than you do"
Got me a cp33 with 50 round extended mags
True, but that thing will break if you give it a dirty look. An FN you could probably beat someone to death with and it would still function just fine.
I haven't shot one so I can't say, and I do know FN makes underrated handguns, but honestly my tx22 is really really nice
FN makes the best military firearms. They make the best cold forged barrels, period. They are very, very underrated!
I’ve heard great things about the TX22!
@@williamfrazier3822 What makes their cold forged barrels the best?
@@hardcore4476 I spent months researching barrels, bolt carriers, etc. before purchasing an AR. Besides the long military use of their machine guns, they rank among the best in the civilian market, too. I was originally going to by only the barrel but very happy I bought the whole thing.
Ya I have the tx22 on my list as well. Hopefully it’ll run like the rugers do.
I love the 502 22lr. But I feel the Taurus TX22 is superior. Comes stock with adjustable rear sights, threaded barrel and 15rd mags stock. The TX22 has shown extreme reliability running almost all 22lr ammo even subsonic and the 502 has alot to look up to. Also less expensive than the 502.
16 round mags.
I love how Colion edited the video at 1:40, to hide the fact that Tim walked in front of the muzzle! Ooops! 😳
And that's why trigger discipline is important...
im not trying to be the "its just as good" guy...but tx22 and the tx 22 comp i feel like might be a good alternative
Correct
Yep. 16 rounds and $260. I'm sure it's not as well built as the 502 but mine's not bad at all.
@@crocholiday yeah i had one before all off my guns got lost the day on the lake but when you look at the fact that you get a reliable 16 round gun that can get a red dot for comes with a threaded barrel has a good trigger it seems like a decent choice for people training with glocks
Tx22 rocks with cheap bulk ammo. Glock promised a lot but Taurus delivered. Walther..... Failed but the Taurus delivers. The Ruger Sr22 is good but I had a bulk pack of under powered golden bullet that the sr22 choked on and my TX 22 gobble up with ease. Never tried the Smith Victory or MNP22s. If I gotta hit the road and stay light the Tx22 is coming with me.....,but I am open to try the 502 if it can run cheap dirty bulk pack reliably it'll be a winner.
Came to the comments looking for this. Love my tx
Great! I finally got my mark IV 22/45 after 2 years of searching and now FN pulls this trick. . .
Same with me! But I really have fun with the Mark IV !
@@roncollins8192 absolutely loves mine!! One of my range buddies offered a grand for mine. . . I laughed as I told him, hell no! Wish I wasn't still waiting for my silencer😫
I am a newer gun owner and have an S&W M&P 22 compact. I love it and it has been great for frequent training. But this one...wow...just wow. 😍
I hope this gun puts some pep into the rimfire market. I’d love to see a p320 in 22lr, that would be an absolute perfect trainer, especially for those going for certain kits.
That's a damn good idea
SIG did make the P250 in 22lr... I would think the P320 would be easy..
The P322 just released apparently
@@chaliween ya I saw! It’ll probably sell like hot cakes but unfortunately it’s not a p320. I won’t be getting it.
I love a good 22LR pistol. I hope these will show up in the stores here soon.
Taurus tx22. Mine has never malfunctioned 1000 rounds. Dead accurate
Going to be hard to top my TX-22 Competition honestly. I've had it 5 days now and can't quit shooting it! With and without a suppressor, I've put 1500 rounds through it already!
Got one a couple weeks ago love it so far, have a browing buck mark also I like but only 10 round mags
Been eyeing one myself and heard nothing but great things. Have a walther P22 and let’s just say she almost jams as much as she does fire. Lol ok not that bad but still..
@@hardcore4476 I've heard alot of people say they've had problems with their Walthers. I guess I've gotten lucky 3 times cause all 3 run great. Maybe the upgraded extractor and spring would help you out. Also I love the TandemKross 15rnd extensions
@@BM205 I have the TK mag extensions also. However don’t recall upgraded spring or extractor. You upgraded both of those and where from? Just sent walther an email in high hopes they fix or replace my slide.
@@hardcore4476 the extractor I believe is Valquartzen. I'm not sure but TandemKross may sell the recoil springs. Check P22 accessories at Optics Planet or Midway. The only round I've had not be reliable is Federal AutoMatch which is so inconsistent even my 10-22s don't like it. Best of luck getting yours goin
I’m a proud new uscca member because of you 😃❤️🙏🇺🇸 thank you ☺️
Fn has been known for making beauties.
Like all weapons-some are hot, some are not.
All I know is I carried an Fn for a year and prefer them if I ever had to defend myself or others.
But this looks like a fun ccw or edc for those in free states.
Grand Power K22 X Trim is a beautiful .22 pistol.. honestly I wouldnt edc a .22 pistol though, the rate of failure to incapacitate is a bit too high considering most self defense scenarios happen at a close distance or even face2face. Anything above it should be fine but .22 is better than nothing I guess.
@@MisoElEven A .22 lr can be very deadly if you get a headshot on whatever is trying to kill you. But I agree though, I wouldn't carry one either. I'd have one just for fun or for competition.
Haha, with that can it must sound like Ralph's Red Ryder too....LOL !
A 502 came into my local shop the other day. Apparently when reassembling it’s very finicky, took 3 people to figure it out. Either there is a design flaw or that single unit had issues.
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.
I wasn't interested in this thing, then they offered to pay me, then I thought it was fantastic. So fantastic I called a handgun "chocolatey" because I had to not appear disingenuous at the time, they hadn't paid me yet, I swung and missed, it was awkward.
My good sir, your opinion speaks volumes. Your help does make us laymen be better informed. Thanks...
Great review! Looks like I'm going shopping soon. Keep up the great work and keep Texas 2A strong!
Tx22 has 16 standard with a plus 5 and a plus 6 bumper you can buy. Comes stock with a threaded barrel and speed loader ontop of interchangeable parts with the Taurus g3 and g2 series handguns.
Perfect timing!! 🇺🇸❤️
New SIG P322, IS an M18 in .22 LR. 2 x 20 rd. Mags. Sticking w/ my SIG P 220R, .22LR. Thx for the review! ✌
love the Ralphie referance.
Of all the reviews on the new wonder .22s out now, I got a new FN 502. It has shot perfectly for 42 rounds, and now it fails to strike the primer at all. Think the firing pin fractured already. Never dry fired, and it's brand new. One more note, you have to baby the mags in or they stovepipe the first round right away.
I bought two of those CN “I’am The Militia” tee’s and you could barely, in fact, you can’t see the background print of the 2nd Amendment. I’m looking at yours Colion and it’s clear and readable. Damm.
So after the shooting the Taurus TX22 Competition, which do you like better?
That said when I finally got the money I mean the gun into my hands…
That's how I feel about tx22 tandemized it as well I can't stop looking at it its so tactical so I get how you feel
Isn't that the same Tim Kennedy that said He doesn't think a legal adult should be able to buy an AR-15?
Yes.
Just bought a Mark IV lite after watching your video on it.. looks like I may invest in another .22 now 😎
Oh WTF !!!!!
Now I gotta get another handgun.
Damn !
Thank you. Getting my 1st real gun at 6, I've watched a LOT of gun video's. LOTS OF EM !
I can honestly say THIS ONE here is most impressive and enjoyable so far ! BTW having carried concealed almost 40 yrs mostly unlicensed. Thank God I never drew my piece, I pray it stays that way. ( Upset stomach kept me out of Thornton Walmart shooting as I had left restaurant next door, went home)
Solid content bro. Keep it up!! 22s are awesome
Agreed. Solid content. Love 22
Great Centent.. agreed
I really need to check this out
It's an FN! Expect the best!
Not to be a "just as good" guy.... I thought the same sort of things when I first shot my tx22 lol. Also a solid .22 pistol with a 15 round capacity
Got one on the way. Hard to beat for $270 right now.
Awesome! Enjoy it! That is a solid price
@@baitball4665 Where did you find it at for that price?
Love the TX22.
The Tx22 and sr22 kill the 502 already. It is made by Umarex not FN. Umarex 22 pistols suck IDK about their 22 rifles.
Thanks again CN, I just bought a 509 compact tactical last week and saw this video, ended up picking up an FDE 502 tactical at the shop when I went in to pick it up.
Hey bro I just wanted to say this was truly an enjoyable video/experience whatever you wanna call it I smiled all threw the video. And the reference to Christmas story was heart warming! Keep up the great content sincerely miguel a proud fan!!
I was impressed with my s & w 22. Victory very accurate gun.
Looks like a great plinker. How would you compare it to the beretta M9 22 suppresor version?
Great video . I want a FN 502 now ! - I own a heritage .22 Revolver , A S&W 422 .22 , A Ruger Mark IV .22 , A Beretta 21A .22 Pistol . I love the little caliber .22( they keep me in practice putting nice little holes in paper targets )
Ruger Mark III with a Pac-lit upper and suppressor!
Hard to beat the price and accuracy of a Ruger MK pistol.
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.
Colion just single handedly jacked up the price and a availability of this gun 😬
Absolutely
Bought this after this review (it was between this and the Sig). Got it to teach my son how to shoot and being honest, for me too! This is a great pistol. It has all the goodies. This is my first 22 and I love it! Put a 507k on it and a compensator (why not?). All day fun....
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?
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.
2022? So now your a time traveler
@@brandonparsons9447 🤣
@@brandonparsons9447 The FN is THAT Good.
I just saw that guy leave the Academy in a DeLorean!
Just secured one, agree its the best .22 handgun I've fired.
This channel is costing me money.
See I knew I was not the only one in love with it just of how it comes out the box I can’t wait to buy 2
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
Or a keltec p16
22's are just tons of fun!
Really handsome gun. What does it take to neutralize the threaded barrel to make it NY compliant???
You really took the air our of my sails. I don't like it in NY, and just can't wait to get back to SC.
@@willardpritchard5186 It's the same with the Beretta Tomcat Covert, would have to neutralize the threaded barrel on that firearm I would like to have, but can't. One day, things may get straightened out.
I will have to check this pistol out. But I love my Ruger SR-22. So much fun!!! There is always room for more Fishing poles in the tackle box that I lost at Lake Scull Valley. (never go sailing there, the Squalls come out of nowhere)
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.
Maybe the one I got was a lemon but I had failures every 2-3 rounds with CCI Mini Mags.
I love everything about this pistol, but I feel like it’s gonna need some tried and true testing before I get one. Nobody has them in stock and they are going for $300 over MSRP on GB. Worried about reliability over the long term, but looks badass!
Andddd….I’m sold, already have the fnx t, and need something to train the family on that’s familiar to me and already fits the holster I have.
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.
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.
Another reason why the Taurus TX22 Competition is superior, the optic sits atop the barrel, doesn’t move with the slide.
@@Florida_Man_Robb Only thing they missed out on that was ambi slide stop/release. Otherwise yeah it's definitely ideal.
This seems pretty good for helping my kid and little siblings learn and get comfortable with guns.
This, tx22, beretta 92 22lr, and ruger sr22 seem like the ceiling of reliable 22 arms
I love the 22. I have a Glock 44 and heritage rough rider revolver in that caliber. Fun guns.
dang that looks like so much fun and i'm sure i can't buy one here in (behind enemy lines) in California...
Automatically illegal in ny due to mag size. Baloney safe act.
@@commonsence8223 same in CA. except we also have “the list” of approved handguns, and every small permutation of a model, like color, is considered a separate handgun, and to get on the list, manufactures have to blow Gavin Newsome, or something...

Mass too; threaded barrel and 15 round magazines, it won't make it to the "roster".
That's bad ass I have a tx 22 it's a blast and everyone shoots it good any newbie pinging steels
I prefer the Taurus TX22
I wish they would pull the keltec mode and double stack the tiny 22 ammo. It doesn't need to hang down a foot to fit 20 round, or a 5 gallon bucket diameter drum to fit 50 rounds.
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)
Im so happy you do what you do... Seriously. Thanks Homie
Looks like a really nice piece with good features. The problem for me is the bougie price. My kel-tec p17 can do basically everything this can, at $300 cheaper, in a lighter, smaller package. An extra $300 could get me thousands of rounds of ammo, or hell, another handgun in some cases.
The quality warrants it
Sweet 22lr pistol. I have one tactical 22lr pistol that is famous for its tactical reputation-beretta model 71 in 22lr
Nah I'm good, I'll stick with p229 22lr conversion that can't shoot an entire mag...besides we will never see this thing CA, thanks Newsome!
Mine has never had a single failure. Yours doesn’t run?!! I love that thing
@@jbell1166 CCI and old blue box Federal works fine but Remington, Augila, Winchester it's a practice clearing your pistol day at the range.
Love your message and videos
Isn't this just a umerx sub contracted build
"Just"?
Is it really? HK did that with the 416 22lr and though it is fantastic, I was disappointed…..still own it though.
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.
Agree. I have ran the hell out of my M9-22. I had issues with the mods to the mags so I switched them back.
I would really like to own a suppressor, but having to pay extra taxes for it AND have it be registered... makes the idea distasteful.
The taxes and registration are actually a violation of the constitution.
Great Video. AA+ rated. Complete, in depth information on the growing interest in 22 LR semi automatic handguns. I want one. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience Colin
Good god, now they have to make 22's tactical. This whole tactical craze is getting way out of control. What next? Tactical muzzleloaders? lol
Yes!
Every gun a sponsor makes is the best
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!!
Nice bait bro, catch anything with it lately?
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.
Thx 22 is my favorite
