I’ll be honest, I think my fav videos from you are your “worst of” videos they are funny and informative to me who is pretty new to firearms and have definitely saved me some money
Used to have one and they are indeed reliable. For a budget gun you could definitely do worse but being that a canik isn’t much more expensive but far superior it’s not the best choice.
Have one as well, and bone-stock, it has been awesome. I did eventually upgrade it with Lakeline SS recoil springs and striker sleeve /springs. It is definitely my EDC with Hornady Crit. Def. rounds.
You know what. It would have worked. If they made a linear compensator. Hollowed out the handle to carry ammo. Give it actual sites. Why have one? To kill a suffering animal.

I must have gotten the only working Taurus PT22 in existence. I've had it for probably 10 years and it runs every high velocity 22LR round I've tried. Mine is accurate and I love it. I also found it useful in easing my wife into a more serious carry gun.
I mostly just hate the fat profile of it, and you can't put slimmer grips on it. Shame, it'd be a good pocket gun otherwise. Haven't shot it a lot but it always functioned fine.
Thought he already did that. There aren't many options. Cheapest is prob the Springfield, then the new platypus. Both are under $1500, that is if you mean 1911 double stack. If you just want an old school 1911 single stack there are plenty of options.
As far as I know, the LiveFreeArmory Apollo 11 at $979 is the only sub $1000 Dbl stack 1911 that has received positive reviews. HO and PV both liked it. Not sure if either one has put 1000 rounds through one yet.
Tisas BR9, MAC 1911 DS, RIA Ultra, LFA Apollo 11. For the money, the MAC 1911 DS is hands down the best at its price point, considering, it comes with a bull barrel, RMR footprint for optic mounting, and no MIM parts unlike the $1500 SA Prodigy (LOL). All for $800 too.
I had an Intratec Tec-22, and I had the exact opposite experience with it. It was the second gun that I bought. The first was a Davis .380. I never had a failure to feed to or not firing at all. I absolutely loved that gun. Only ammo it couldn't run was CCI Shot shells.
It’s funny, Taurus JUST came out with, what looks like a replacement for the PT-22, something they’re calling the 22 Tuc. 9+1 of 22lr WITH a tip up barrel.
I got the p22 last year and it worked fine until it didn't. And it started shooting itself apart like his did. I used it for a snake charmer though underneath houses because it would atleast shoot the first shot lol

This was actually ENORMOUSLY entertaining.... except for that Girsan... because if I'd bought that for some reason I'd actually be seriously pissed off... but the rest, hysterical.
The Taurus G2C is awesome if you buy all the Lakeline interior parts! Actually, even before it had no issues, but with replacing the factory plastic with stainless guide rod and springs and striker / springs, all very cheap! Especially if you polish the feed ramp and slide etc., it hasn't failed to do anything... I think it was $203 bucks back then! She would have paid $403 knowing what we know now! I loved the first edition Taurus 24/7! Turned 2 of my GLOCK buddies into 24/7 fans back in those days! But to each their own! Sometimes all it takes is a little polishing and basic TLC to make something work flawless! I agree, it should be flawless when you buy it, like a new car, but for 1/4 of the price I don't mind a little polishing!
My wife and I both own one. Thousands of rounds between them and not a single malfunction and totally stock. Only issues I've had is the rear sight broke on mine and the front sight fell off on hers. Other than that, just as reliable as my Glock and my S&W.
Ditto here. Lakeline SS pin bushing and pin only. Never a problem and a good CCW carry gun. $218 out the door in 2021. Mags for the G3C will also fit if you want more rounds.

On the Altor, you have to pull the trigger back partially to engage the crossbolt safety. It essentially just blocks the trigger from springing back forward. I have one, and it took me forever to figure it out. That thing sucks so hard, lol.
I have a theory that it's supposed to be a concept gun, like the clothes in a fashion show. You're never supposed to ACTUALLY use it, it was more a challenge to see how many unique features you could fit on one. Plus if you're ever desperate enough to actually use it, sounds like there's a good chance it'll be more of a grenade than a gun.
That gun makes a Jennings J22 look like a military sidearm. That altor goes straight to the gun buy back. It is a trash gun, i'd rather have a Filipino homemade slamfire shotgun for home defense than that shit. I love all guns even Saturday night specials but that thing is cursed.
Chris, I watch so many of your videos and I must say this. You are without any question in my mind the Most Trusted and greatest guy I can watch. Great personality, spot on instructions and point to point coverage. I thank you because you have been the reason I've purchased so many more guns. Your wife is the best too. I enjoy every second of your videos and wonder what the next firearm purchase will be? Thanks .
The Intratec Tec 22 is actually just the VZ61 Skorpion "we have at home". Same charging "handle", same magazine placement, etc. Except the Skorpion actually worked, was in a centefire caliber, and was full auto.
I think with derringers, you're supposed to hold it by the barrels and flip the frame around. Easier to load because you're holding the part you put the rounds into, and you're in control of where the barrels are pointing the entire time.
So happy the Tec-22 is mentioned, got mine from grandpa and have dumped at least $500 in parts trying to get it to run right, has never dumped one mag without jamming, but I love it
TY. That was fun. FWIW, I owned an older Taurus PT22 that was well-made and reliable. I still have a Beretta 21A. Couldn't/can't hit anything with either one.
Chris- thank you! I had a stressful day but your video was a JOY to watch. Probably the funniest thing I’ve seen and I totally enjoyed it. Great stuff! Great review of not great guns.
@@gaylenstone9329 I have at least a half dozen Taurus pistols. My edc is a GX4. I have zero issues with them. I’ve only shot 1 other gun worse than the pt-22 and that was a Jimenez arms nickel plated .22 I picked up for $30. It’s literally a single shot cuz it will never load a 2nd round 😂
@@gaylenstone9329 btw this piece of shit she had to have because it was chrome with pink grips and gold accents. It was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen.
The Altor is really an updated zip gun. Most of those used an appropriate section of a car radio antenna for a barrel, a rubber band release to fire, and shot a 22 short (cheap) or 22lr (upscale). It's great to see 1950s juvenile delinquent tech updated to 9mm.
That was my recommendation, . I seen a used one in a local gun shop a few years ago and actually considered it briefly just to be able to say " I own the worst " lol.
16:34 I have a C-9. With proper maintenance they are super reliable. I've put 1000's of rounds through mine with zero failures. It won't work with Steel Case though. As a bonus, I grabbed the T995 9mm Carbine and the mags are interchangeable between the pistol and the rifle. My C-9 is something that if (God forbid) I had to use in a life or death situation, I wouldn't question for a microsecond if it was going to work. The weight and the blowback really suck and, God knows she's ugly but I would have no issues with my life depending on it. Plus, at sub 200 prices, it's affordable enough that anybody should be able to have one for self defense. Thanks for not trashing it like a lot of other people do. My thoughts are that if I pull the "Boom Switch" and a piece of metal comes out the other end then, it's a good gun.
I have had 2 Girsans and they only seem to like HOT ammo; Had a 45 commander -7lb trigger pull-unless it was +P it had minute of hillside accuracy - went to Tisas. Also have a MC P35 - range toy BUT it loves 124gt +p standard velocity nope On the intertec did you try actual Ruger 10/22 mags? The ones that come with it will even jam a 10/22 like that - I know. Still would not carry it, but if it functions it is like a Hillbilly Skorpion range toy As for worse guns Raven and Phoenix arms comes to mind
Remington R51. My Dad bought one because it was a “Remington” and I didn’t have the heart to tell him. The language that came from that god fearing man was hilarious hahaha
I like how you mentioned the fact that .380 isnt a very good carry caliber. I am a firearm salesman and i do my very level best to make sure that whoever comes to my counter knows as much as they need too to be safe and know they are safe. I have a thing i call seasonal firearms separation. I never really ever recommend a .380acp as a "good" option considering there are so many variations of 9mm that are fantastic for small frame people like critical defense lite and the g9 ehp bullets and other very light 60 to 65 grain external hollowpoint bullets that have basically zero recoil or very minimal recoil but are also screaming out the barrel. I put .380acp in the summer or hot month category, it can penetrate summer time clothing with no problem but winter time it would have a hard time doing body damage when it has to go through multiple layers of denim, a carhartt jacket or something very thick woven material. I walked into a local competitor of ours' gun counters and the guy there tried to tell me that 380 and 9mm were pretty much identical because they have similar case height and are the same .355 bullet. I then schooled him on a little thing called case pressure ane how 9mm has almost twice the case pressure of .380 and if they were the same as far as energy then why wont a .380 eject when shot from a 9mm? He shut up pretty quickly and said im going on lunch. A person like that should not be behind a gun counter, especially when its getting cold around where we are at and if hes telling a woman that isnt sure that a 380 is just as capable as a 9mm he should be fired.
Girsan is a dumpster fire from the poor build quality all the way to the worst post sale support in the industry. I fixed mine and sold it for less than half price new.
7 Pistols that I would never carry: 1: An 800lb pistol. It would just be too heavy 2: In the same vein, a 25ft long pistol. Very difficult to carry and transport in a car. 3. A pistol that has poop on it. That would just be icky. 4. A pistol that didn't save itself until marriage. I can't be shooting a pistol that I know some other guy had shot before me. 5. A pistol that doesn't work. I need a check stub for verification, no welfare, no unemployment. 6. A pistol with a flat earth finish. (It knows what it did, I don't have to explain myself to you, it does) 7. A Kel-Tec.
Not only is this guy just the most straight forward best gun reviewer I’ve found he’s also HILARIOUS! The Intratec safety comment had me bursting out laughing, caught me so off guard 😂 Bravo on this hilarious video Mr. Outlaw
Hey Honest Outlaw, would you be will to do a review on the Zigana PX-9 G2? It's a cheaper pistol, and i was wondering what you would think of it. Thanks!
My dad had a Bond Arms 38/.357 derringer. He wanted it so bad because it was made in Texas. Well, it was awful. The bottom barrel keyholes everything except snake-shot, (which is the only thing I would ever tun through it), it’s heavy and unwieldy. Strictly a novelty.
Buddy of mine had the .410. Worst trigger I’ve ever seen on a firearm. Everyone who shot it ended up hitting the ground 20 feet in front of them. I’d rather have a knife. Imo.
18:04 Someone was playing a little too much Rust, started eyeballing his Eoka and went, "I could make something better than that." And then he didn't. 😂
Not quite, there will be a lot of overlap with stuff like Derringers and those stupid LifeCard guns. I worked at a store that sold those, never sold a single one. Had a couple people ask about them, but once they saw the price tag, they changed their mind
The pt-22 poly usually works really well with 40 grain Cci minimags. If it's been cleaned it'll run decent with regular 40 grain bullets. Haven't had any problem with mine.
I have a standard Bond Arms with a stubby 9mm barrel, and a 3 1/2" .410/.45 LC barrel. I echo everything you say here. Its a neat item for the collection, but far better options for carry. Like a J Frame...an LCP Max or BodyGuard 2.0, or even a Kel-Tec P32. I don't have personal experience with the following, but if you do a "Part 2" to this, how about a LifeCard, or a NAA Pug (or something similar)?
9:49 The Tisas B9R Carry DS 1911 9mm you can pick it up now for around 600$ is worth checking out, I had to replace the extractor, but since then it’s been running flawless
Interesting about the Taurus PT22 being so bad.. 5 or 6 years ago I bought one of the older models that are sort of gold colored with wooden grips and I don't recall it ever malfunctioning with all the cheap bulk pack ammo I always shoot.. Maybe I just got lucky with mine.😁
Same. I had an older silver model, and it ran fine as long as the 22 ammo was good. I also had a PT25 that was much more reliable because centerfire > rimfire.
Nice video! One of my first gun purchases was the Taurus G3, as an older guy new to the world of guns. I thought it was ok, until I got my hands on a S&W, Sig Sauer, Ruger and even a Kimber semi-auto. At that point I felt like the Taurus was the 1985 Ford Escort of my Rolls Royce fleet and hated even looking at it. What a rattle box! I literally gave it to my dad for a cheap ass travel pistol........never again with Taurus
I used to own an IntraTec Tec-22. The problem with mine wasn't the gun itself, but rather the 30-round magazine it came with. I also got a Ramline 50-rounder for a Ruger 10-22 with it when I bought it, because the salesman was honest about how poorly the stock mag performed. With the Ramline mag that thing worked flawlessly, and the only reliability issues were the typical rimfire-related failure-to-fire. Everything went well until the magazine started to wear out after thousands of rounds and I couldn't replace it with anything other than a 10-round Ruger 10-22 mag thanks to the Brady Bill being in effect. So it came to pass that I sold it off.
That first Braverman contraption surely has mastered the "gray man theory": It'd blend in perfectly in any metalworking toolbox amongst all the quarter-inch extensions, drop oilers and automatic center punches.

Great personality, spot on instructions and point to point coverage. I thank you because you have been the reason I've purchased so many more guns. Your wife is the best too. I enjoy every second of your videos and wonder what the next firearm purchase will be?
Thanks .
wow thanks so much for this, genuinely makes my day
My Taurus PT22 Poly worked great for me. Reliable with most brands of 22. It was wide so didn't carry it. Sold it to a friend that wanted it.
Have been very happy with mine, as well.
My Ruger LCP22 is temperamental.
My PT runs fine, when loaded 7 rds in mag.
It runs 100% on CCI ammo.
@@electrochubb my PT22 liked Stingers a lot. But it ran almost everything
The Intratec Tec 22 is actually just the VZ61 Skorpion "we have at home". Same charging "handle", same magazine placement, etc. Except the Skorpion actually worked, was in a centefire caliber, and was full auto.
It would cost him literally $10 to ship it back for RMA.
I think with derringers, you're supposed to hold it by the barrels and flip the frame around. Easier to load because you're holding the part you put the rounds into, and you're in control of where the barrels are pointing the entire time.
Great reviews, thanks. I had the PT-22 a number of years ago. It was really bad.
Altos looks like the torch they use when they bring out creme brulee to your table
So happy the Tec-22 is mentioned, got mine from grandpa and have dumped at least $500 in parts trying to get it to run right, has never dumped one mag without jamming, but I love it
I remember the old Jennings and Davis semi autos were junk and I know because I still haveva J22 that shot itself apart. Looked cool though.
Hey I have one of those with a missing firing pin spring cap.
Mine is missing the extractor, pin, spring and maybe other stuff. Haven't looked at it in years, still in its box w/papers though
TY. That was fun. FWIW, I owned an older Taurus PT22 that was well-made and reliable. I still have a Beretta 21A. Couldn't/can't hit anything with either one.
This is the most hilarious review I've seen you do😂😂😂 I loved it!!!
I love your brutal honesty about what you test drive. Especially at time 6:35😅😂😅, I concur with your assessment on derringers😊
The best video I've watched this Sunday. Thank you Outlaws.
Chris- thank you! I had a stressful day but your video was a JOY to watch. Probably the funniest thing I’ve seen and I totally enjoyed it. Great stuff!
Great review of not great guns.
15yrs ago I bought my ex wife the Taurus pt-22. It’s the only thing I let her keep 😂
🐐
Good call....i like the Taurus G series but that pt 22 is hot garbage, bought one, couldnt get a mag to fire without 3-4 hang ups.
@@gaylenstone9329 I have at least a half dozen Taurus pistols. My edc is a GX4. I have zero issues with them. I’ve only shot 1 other gun worse than the pt-22 and that was a Jimenez arms nickel plated .22 I picked up for $30. It’s literally a single shot cuz it will never load a 2nd round 😂
@@gaylenstone9329 btw this piece of shit she had to have because it was chrome with pink grips and gold accents. It was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen.
I still have my taurus millenium pt 111 pro. Its still pretty reliable.
The Altor is really an updated zip gun. Most of those used an appropriate section of a car radio antenna for a barrel, a rubber band release to fire, and shot a 22 short (cheap) or 22lr (upscale). It's great to see 1950s juvenile delinquent tech updated to 9mm.
Great video, respect sir
Dude, got my license and very first gun today, thanks for all the amazing info you give out!
Surprised no USFA zip .22. I've always heard is a worst of all time gun.
He's never shot one probably.
Thankfully I don’t think they are available anymore.
That was my recommendation, . I seen a used one in a local gun shop a few years ago and actually considered it briefly just to be able to say " I own the worst " lol.
16:34 I have a C-9. With proper maintenance they are super reliable. I've put 1000's of rounds through mine with zero failures. It won't work with Steel Case though. As a bonus, I grabbed the T995 9mm Carbine and the mags are interchangeable between the pistol and the rifle. My C-9 is something that if (God forbid) I had to use in a life or death situation, I wouldn't question for a microsecond if it was going to work. The weight and the blowback really suck and, God knows she's ugly but I would have no issues with my life depending on it. Plus, at sub 200 prices, it's affordable enough that anybody should be able to have one for self defense. Thanks for not trashing it like a lot of other people do. My thoughts are that if I pull the "Boom Switch" and a piece of metal comes out the other end then, it's a good gun.
I have had 2 Girsans and they only seem to like HOT ammo; Had a 45 commander -7lb trigger pull-unless it was +P it had minute of hillside accuracy - went to Tisas. Also have a MC P35 - range toy BUT it loves 124gt +p standard velocity nope
On the intertec did you try actual Ruger 10/22 mags? The ones that come with it will even jam a 10/22 like that - I know. Still would not carry it, but if it functions it is like a Hillbilly Skorpion range toy
As for worse guns Raven and Phoenix arms comes to mind
I think the feed ramp is the problem with the Tec22. My buddy had one, and it was nothing but the same issues bending rounds while chambering.
I have a Springfield Armory 1911A1 and it is a great gun. It shoots good and is accurate too.
Same here the garrison.45.
Greetings from Russia. My “like” is the first today. 😊
Thanks!
Remington R51. My Dad bought one because it was a “Remington” and I didn’t have the heart to tell him. The language that came from that god fearing man was hilarious hahaha
Definitely.
This guy be making like the same two dozen videos over and over again and brothers, I am here for it.
The fact that somebody made a holster for the Intrarec blows my mind 😂
I doubt it was designed for that thing
This was so entertaining. Your frustration with these guns fueled some excellent descriptive prose!
Taurus just updated the PT22 with the Taurus TUC in 22lr.
I like how you mentioned the fact that .380 isnt a very good carry caliber. I am a firearm salesman and i do my very level best to make sure that whoever comes to my counter knows as much as they need too to be safe and know they are safe. I have a thing i call seasonal firearms separation. I never really ever recommend a .380acp as a "good" option considering there are so many variations of 9mm that are fantastic for small frame people like critical defense lite and the g9 ehp bullets and other very light 60 to 65 grain external hollowpoint bullets that have basically zero recoil or very minimal recoil but are also screaming out the barrel. I put .380acp in the summer or hot month category, it can penetrate summer time clothing with no problem but winter time it would have a hard time doing body damage when it has to go through multiple layers of denim, a carhartt jacket or something very thick woven material. I walked into a local competitor of ours' gun counters and the guy there tried to tell me that 380 and 9mm were pretty much identical because they have similar case height and are the same .355 bullet. I then schooled him on a little thing called case pressure ane how 9mm has almost twice the case pressure of .380 and if they were the same as far as energy then why wont a .380 eject when shot from a 9mm? He shut up pretty quickly and said im going on lunch. A person like that should not be behind a gun counter, especially when its getting cold around where we are at and if hes telling a woman that isnt sure that a 380 is just as capable as a 9mm he should be fired.
Girsan is a dumpster fire from the poor build quality all the way to the worst post sale support in the industry. I fixed mine and sold it for less than half price new.
7 Pistols that I would never carry:
1: An 800lb pistol. It would just be too heavy
2: In the same vein, a 25ft long pistol. Very difficult to carry and transport in a car.
3. A pistol that has poop on it. That would just be icky.
4. A pistol that didn't save itself until marriage. I can't be shooting a pistol that I know some other guy had shot before me.
5. A pistol that doesn't work. I need a check stub for verification, no welfare, no unemployment.
6. A pistol with a flat earth finish. (It knows what it did, I don't have to explain myself to you, it does)
7. A Kel-Tec.
And I thought the worst thing I shot was the SCCY CPX! Man, they LOOK like they suck!
Usain Bolt must be their quality control guy at SCCY.
They do! One of the worst triggers ever!
I have the older metal PT22 and it’s much more reliable than the poly one.
Bond Arms derringers are built like tanks, but I agree that the Honey-B in .22lr is not a good carry because of the small caliber.
That last guy was made specifically for very depressed, very broke people.
Not only is this guy just the most straight forward best gun reviewer I’ve found he’s also HILARIOUS! The Intratec safety comment had me bursting out laughing, caught me so off guard 😂 Bravo on this hilarious video Mr. Outlaw
"Like I jumped on like Lizzo in a fuckin buffet" you're fuckin unhinged and I love it.
This is an awesome video! I love how straight forward and to the point you are. I love your descriptions of these pathetic do not carry guns. 👍🏻👍🏻
Surprised that you didn't mention the USFA zip 22
I love those snow drifts at the end. That was some beautiful photography. It looks like the outskirts of Des Moines back in the '90's. Keep it up!
so the takeaway is.... "you weren't already carrying a .22, but here's a list of things you wouldn't carry already"
Yup 😂
Hey Honest Outlaw, would you be will to do a review on the Zigana PX-9 G2? It's a cheaper pistol, and i was wondering what you would think of it. Thanks!
My dad had a Bond Arms 38/.357 derringer. He wanted it so bad because it was made in Texas. Well, it was awful. The bottom barrel keyholes everything except snake-shot, (which is the only thing I would ever tun through it), it’s heavy and unwieldy. Strictly a novelty.
Buddy of mine had the .410. Worst trigger I’ve ever seen on a firearm. Everyone who shot it ended up hitting the ground 20 feet in front of them. I’d rather have a knife. Imo.
@@erroneous6947 I’ve got snakeslayer. Why? I don’t know. I can’t hit anything from 5 yards away. Its recoil is brutal.basically a 10ft and under gun.
8:33 as an FN owner I can relate. Great guns subpar triggers
OMG....LOL, don't hold back ....tell us how you really feel......😂😂😂
Commentary was awesome. Laughed all the way through. Great vid. Needed the laughs. Thanks man.
I have Lorcin L380. That is a piece of junk. I paid $100, 25 yrs ago. A waste of good money. It sits in my safe.
That would be my vote for the worst I have ever seen personally. They are junk.
18:04 Someone was playing a little too much Rust, started eyeballing his Eoka and went, "I could make something better than that."
And then he didn't. 😂
Ask 100 people to list 7 guns they would never carry. You will get 700 different guns.
Not quite, there will be a lot of overlap with stuff like Derringers and those stupid LifeCard guns. I worked at a store that sold those, never sold a single one. Had a couple people ask about them, but once they saw the price tag, they changed their mind
Hey my Tec 9 works great but only with steel cased ammo, brass case ammo is a no go.
I feel good that I haven’t heard of any of these!
Love your Videos Outlaw! Wishing you all the best
Not Lizzo at the buffet 😂😂😂
A Girsan makes you appreciate how reliable and a good deal a Hi-Point is.
Ouch
How about the one I found in the brush at a rest stop? Nice pistol, still had half a magazine of ammo.
Should i not carry that one?
Probably not
As long as you don’t mind getting caught with it and it being connected to a murder..
The pt-22 poly usually works really well with 40 grain Cci minimags. If it's been cleaned it'll run decent with regular 40 grain bullets. Haven't had any problem with mine.
Thank you for an excellent worst gun video
I have a standard Bond Arms with a stubby 9mm barrel, and a 3 1/2" .410/.45 LC barrel. I echo everything you say here. Its a neat item for the collection, but far better options for carry. Like a J Frame...an LCP Max or BodyGuard 2.0, or even a Kel-Tec P32. I don't have personal experience with the following, but if you do a "Part 2" to this, how about a LifeCard, or a NAA Pug (or something similar)?
I literally GAVE my girsan 1911 away even after having the ramp polished.......
9:49 The Tisas B9R Carry DS 1911 9mm you can pick it up now for around 600$ is worth checking out, I had to replace the extractor, but since then it’s been running flawless
Interesting about the Taurus PT22 being so bad.. 5 or 6 years ago I bought one of the older models that are sort of gold colored with wooden grips and I don't recall it ever malfunctioning with all the cheap bulk pack ammo I always shoot.. Maybe I just got lucky with mine.😁
Same. I had an older silver model, and it ran fine as long as the 22 ammo was good. I also had a PT25 that was much more reliable because centerfire > rimfire.
Nice video! One of my first gun purchases was the Taurus G3, as an older guy new to the world of guns. I thought it was ok, until I got my hands on a S&W, Sig Sauer, Ruger and even a Kimber semi-auto. At that point I felt like the Taurus was the 1985 Ford Escort of my Rolls Royce fleet and hated even looking at it. What a rattle box! I literally gave it to my dad for a cheap ass travel pistol........never again with Taurus
It's called the Altor because Zip Gun was taken. Is there an Altor prison somewhere?
I could not help but laugh out loud watching this video. Your commentary is always entertaining but this video is gold!
The one liners in this video are too many to list. 🤣😂🤣
Rumor has it when Bob Marley wrote we're jamming, he was shooting a tec-22😅
Bond Arms Cyclops in 45-70. It's the Honey B in a caliber guaranteed to destroy your wrist.😅😅😅😅
I used to own an IntraTec Tec-22. The problem with mine wasn't the gun itself, but rather the 30-round magazine it came with. I also got a Ramline 50-rounder for a Ruger 10-22 with it when I bought it, because the salesman was honest about how poorly the stock mag performed. With the Ramline mag that thing worked flawlessly, and the only reliability issues were the typical rimfire-related failure-to-fire. Everything went well until the magazine started to wear out after thousands of rounds and I couldn't replace it with anything other than a 10-round Ruger 10-22 mag thanks to the Brady Bill being in effect. So it came to pass that I sold it off.
I rather have a umbrella firearm then a pen gun
Hey, Outlaw. Thanks for all the great content. I appreciated your Taurus TH9 vid. I’d also love to see one on the TS9.
Yeaaa I will stick with my S&W M&P metal or my cz p10S for carry
That first Braverman contraption surely has mastered the "gray man theory":
It'd blend in perfectly in any metalworking toolbox amongst all the quarter-inch extensions, drop oilers and automatic center punches.
I better not see any of the guns that i have on this list....
