What you’re calling a thumb safety is actually a decocker. It’s actually a nice common feature in a double action/single action (da/sa) gun. You can still pull the trigger when it’s decocked it just takes much more force to pull the double action trigger on the 1st pull. Then the rest of the shots will be a lighter pull in single action. It’s a safe nice system. I’m interested in one for a training gun now. Since they don’t have the Sig P322 on California roster yet unfortunately
Great to see a video on this firearm. We have two of them, and they are really nice, semi auto, .22 pistols. They are also extremely reliable and inexpensive. My only issue with it is the upside down safety. A normal safety is down for "fire", this is up for "fire", so I keep riding it like a normal thumb safety on a 1911. Drives me nuts! As to the safety/decocker, we found you have to leave the safety off then load the mag and rack it. Then you can start shooting in single action. The decoker is nice feature on double action/single action firearms, especially if you want to carry it locked an loaded. Great video.
Thanks 🙏 . I am agree with you , it’s a great pistol and really reliable, but the only thing I didn’t like it is the thumb safety, it works on a weird way.
A hammer drop safety is not an uncommon feature in auto pistols. It takes the gun out of single action but take the safety off and double action trigger pull is available. I like that as a safety feature.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I think I'm going to buy one for my father. He's older guy now in his 70's and he can't really shoot any of the bigger caliber guns anymore because of the recoil. He even struggles to shoot 9mm. But i think this 22 is perfect for him. I see your point about the thumb safety putting the hammer back, but for him i think it'll be just fine. Thank you brother. Blessings to you and your family. 🙏🏼❤️
It’s a decocker and the gun is DA/SA. So make sure he can pull the trigger in double action because it’s a much heavier pull when in DA. Or he can rack the slide or cock the hammer when ready to fire if need be. Older people might have trouble pulling the trigger in double action. Looks like a nice 22 though
I know, but I don’t like the decock and how change the way how I have to use the pistol. It’s like adding more steps and making something that suppose to be simple more complicated. Either way it’s a good pistol
@@jamesgraves1639 well , that was my first time shooting that pistol, and the safety is coming with that decocker and I didn’t know if that was a normal thing or not. I never expected something like that on a little 22lr pistol .

You have to shoot high velocity ammo through it to fet the consistant blowback

Great little plinking gun. I would like to see if you could get a walther p22q and see how it compares to your Ruger.
Thanks! I will try to get that one .
Thank you for this Clip !
Anytime !
I just bought one ! Thanks for the review ..
You’re very welcome 🙏 🫡
❤❤❤ love this
Great video, but the shooting and noises in the background are distracting
Gotta use the hot Winchester loads
Its a double action/ single action firearm. The decock puts it into double action. Flip the safety off and pull the trigger.
I know, but I don’t like the decock and how change the way how I have to use the pistol. It’s like adding more steps and making something that suppose to be simple more complicated. Either way it’s a good pistol
@espinoza-adventure it's an awesome 22. 👍👍
🥰🥰🥰❤️
It'called a decocker, not a safety. It's supposed to do what you're saying is wrong with it!
