Lol I have two. California makes it expensive for the meager wage earner... So sad for Americans we have this human plague humans in politics. Second amendment suppose to be free .. However put inflation taxes and permits certifications on each gun I want to buy... Crazy thing he re CA. Gov banned rifles guns that were fine the year before. Been inspected by gun inspector then get another inspector says it's wrong.
I always recommend a single six to people curious about getting into plinking. If you can sit all day a plink with something like a heritage rough rider then you will have an even better time with a semi auto. I like steering the towards a rough rider or ruger wrangler. They taught me that patience equals fun. Having only six slow shots made me concentrate on making each shot count.
Thanks,I enjoyed your video and agree 100 %.Ive owned or shot just about all these and more.I enjoyed hearing about your Dads training and how he passed it on to you.Semper Fi.
I love this video. While some of the guns have been upgraded since you made it, I think the principals still apply. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
-- Just getting into this, but I have learned other skills, and I believe that your advice about taking your time to do it right is the best way to learn. Speed will come later, almost automatically. Almost-- one can also get into some bad habits of slowness, but if one is motivated, it's easier to learn how to do something with precision first, and then focus on doing it a little faster.

I think impatience is a more universal motivator than precision, and that in most cases, getting the precision thing down first will flow easily into impatience, but the reverse is less reliable.

Hey, it's 29NOV2020. I just purchased a Heritage 22/22Mag 9in w/adj sights. My only revolver and only 22. Video STILL not boring and the best part (no room for argument on this) was the reverence in your voice when talking about your Dad. Best to you!
that story about your dad spoke to me deeply my friend so thank you got a revelation model 99 high standard pretty good with it need to get better. peace and the best of luck in your endeavors 22plinkster.
Great video and information on which 22 handgun to purchase. I really enjoyed your story about your dad. Please dont think you bored us cause I've been there with my Uncle Don. I'm 63 years old .Your video brought back memories. Thanks Plinksterr
i love the 22 caliber bullet. i hate how disrespected it is. even the word "plinking" is almost always used when talking about the 22. its used in a "i dont take this round seriously and only consider it for fun and games." i looked around to find any other caliber that people say is "good for plinking" and found none. not even for the 380. i hear people say really stupid shit about the 22 like "it will sting, but not kill" or "has no stopping power". that shit is so ridiculous. lots of people have been killed with 22lr. and not because you had a perfect shot or put 50 rounds in them. it only takes a couple. you take 1 to the chest, youre gonna die just as dead as with any other bullet. if you dont respect the 22 as a lethal round and any gun its fired from as a deadly weapon, then you just dont respect guns period.
Exactly! Also, I once met a bloke at a gun shop saying the .380 is a plinking calibre as well. The guy didn't know much on the topic the more we talked about guns. It seemed he was just plain stupid.
boomzilla86 the Israeli military use a version of the 10/22 as a sniper weapon. Some say "I wouldn't grab a 22lr to defend myself or my family" which is total bullshit. me myself, I know I'm damn near surgical with my 10 22, squirrel heads feel the wrath all the time then they try to eat the fruits,vegtables, and pecans on my farm
I have never considered the .22 to be disrespected. Quite the opposite. Some of the most expensive and most precision guns I own are .22s. I do not consider them an effective defensive cartridge.
This is my first 22plinkster video and I really enjoyed it. Very positive attitude and way to soldier through being sick. Beautiful arsenal of .22s as well!
I have the Sport King with the longer barrel. That sucker is dead accurate. I'm glad that you mentioned the Sport King in this video. As always, I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work.
+the7thson1962 I have the Sport King with the 6 3/4" barrel. A friend of mine gave it to me, as his son had left it in the woods, and it looked like it was a total loss. I disassembled it, and cleaned the rust off with steel wool and WD40. It was a little tricky putting it back together, but, there are diagrams of the inner workings on the net. It shoots beautifully. Outside of my Ruger service six, .357, it is my favorite pistol. Enjoy!
sure did have a r-101 Hi STandard and the accuracy is decent. But love the revolver style and it's great when in woods ginsengin or out an about in the deep mountains
I am late to the show on this one, but this was a GREAT video. Thanks for posting it. I am a big .22lr revolver guy, but after watching several of your videos, I do believe that I will make a good target semi-auto my next pistol. Once again, thanks for this video.
I love all youtubers they are so casual about there guns he's like oh I'm not really a revolver guy I don't have many of em probably like 10 or 15 of em. Really if that's not many than how many is a lot lol
ALL of them would be a lot. Don't make me count mine. When I met my wife, some years ago when my collection was smaller, she said HOW MANY GUNS DO YOU HAVE???? "About 80 or so" OMG! How many do you think you need? "All of them."
Very nice video, enjoyed every bit of it. Especially liked getting to know you better by hearing about your relationship with your dad. It's no wonder you've attained such a high level of skill with these fine handguns. Thank you for dragging all of those out for us!
Thanks for the advice, relatively new to shooting so I purchased a high standard sport king 22 pistol. From what I'm told they are solid guns and easy to clean.
Good advice. As an NRA Basic Pistol Insstructor, my consistent advice to students is to pick up a .22 pistol and learn the proper mechanics of pistol shooting. I love picking up my Ruger Single Six or Browning 1911-22 and working on technique while having fun. At 8-10 cents per round, you don't have to feel as though you are depleting your bank account, and there is a wide range of .22 pistols to play with. Thanks for sharing your experience!
The ruger single six 22lr is also good for another reason: you can get an additional cylinder chambered in 22 magnum and just swap it in (just takes a few seconds) and you'll have a 22 magnum revolver.
Yep, I've had 2, 1 blued and one stainless 5.5", still have the stainless. They both came with as convertibles. It's my favorite gun period. The variety of ammo you can shoot from these things just makes them so versatile.
Thank You for sharing your knowledge. I am a bench rest shooter. I have 6 high end .22 rifles. I love building them as much or more than shooting them. I always watch what you are doing at the range and how you are getting it done. Keep shooting young man and helping this old man.
lol My Grandfather taught my Dad like that, and he taught me like that, and I've taught my son like that. 6 bullets = 6 squirrels. lol I think it's a country boy thing lol.
Plinkster, as a teenager, I was very much like you, albeit some 60 years ago. I was a .22 rifle shooter, an old Remington Mdl 24, bought by my grandfather and at that time, my father's rifle, which I took over at 10 years of age. I wore it out, more or less, and saved my money and got a Win. Mdl 62 at 14, and then my Browning ATD a few years later. If it stood still, moved or flew, it was fair game or target. But I am a bit older now and have become more of a pistol shooter in my old(er) age. In watching your program today, I believe you only left out one pistol that if you don't have, you need to shoot to appreciate. And that would be one of FNH's Browning patent Medalist-Challenger-Nomads. These pistols were from the wizardry of designing pistols of John M. Browning, who is in a way, also responsible for the Colt Woodsman, which he designed and sold the patent to Colt. The Medalist is one of the finest, if not the finest pistol ever designed. I was fortunate enough several years ago to buy one to go with my medley of pistols similar to the ones mentioned in your show today. I am sure you have probably shot one, or may even own one or two. My Challenger II is probably my second most favorite pistol, and then my High Standard 103. And you really need to get a Bearcat to to go along with your Single Six. Your vids should be required watching by every young person.
You spent your money wisely! You have a very nice collection. What a great vid too. You gave some important facts that I think I will utilize. Thanks 22Plinkster!
I have tried several revovers and pistols in .22lr, but wasnt that good with it, mainly because I have big hands, and then there was the buckmark and that one fitted nice in my big hands en the groups improved dramaticly, so while others shoot great with different brands it didnt work when I shot them because of different size hands.
Great video as always! I have a few of those pistols that you mentioned. Ruger MK1, Ruger MK2, Ruger single 6, Heritage Rough Rider (I love it) Walther P22, Beretta Neo, Smith 422... I love them all...Thank you... Keep up the great work please! Have a good day! :)
How do you feel about the buckmark as a target pistol? I find mine to be extremely crisp and accurate. My 2 browning guns have set the bar high for any future guns I purchase.
I very much appreciate your insight with honest down to earth reviews...will soon be choosing another target pistol, miss my Ruger Mark II target pistol with red dot scope. Thinking about investing in the Ruger Mark IV.
This was an excellent video. Very good info. You seem very humble and down to earth. This world needs more of that. The other videos on your channel are great too. I subscribed!!
i saved up $450 for a ruger 10/22 22 inch heavy barrel, and I bought it on my 12 birthday and love it! it is really fun to shoot and really accurate. I hit a ground squirrel in the head from 200 yards out and I am not an amazing shooter.
What did you do, kill it with a shotgun then back up 200 yards, crank up the magnification on your 4-12x scope, and then spend all afternoon shooting mag after mag until you gave up, walked up to the squirrel, checked to make sure no-one was watching, and then shot it in the head point blank
+1 for the Buckmark , I did a lot of research before I bought my plinking .22 , and I went with the BuckMark.... Looking forward to adding a tactical solutions barrel , but they are pricey ! Awesome video as always !!
@@showcasecharlie11 the guy in this video looks like he is in his 30's. Several of his guns are valued at over $1,000. He probably has well over 100 guns. Most average guns are in the $300 to $600 range. So lets just be conservative and say he has $25k to $40k in guns in his 30's. Now, that is what a new car costs, so it is not impossible, I am just wondering how he and so many others are spending this much on their hobby. I'm not hating, just curious what they are neglecting to afford them.
@@showcasecharlie11 so how much would you say you have spent in guns over all? If you have $40k in guns and you are around 35 years old. Lets assume you started making money at 20 ish when you got out of college. So $40K divided by 15 years means that you are spending over $2,600 a year on average. This does not even address ammunition costs, range fees, accessories, storage, cleaning supplies, etc. Unless you are making over $100k a year, that is a significant chunk of your annual budget. I'm making close to $70k a year and I cant justify spending that much on my hobby (as much as I would LOVE to). Do you guys just let your kids go without braces and sports gear? hahaha just kidding on the last part.
Awesome video dude! I just bought a Ruger 10/22 rifle and I’m looking for a 22 pistol. Thank you for an informative and entertaining video! I just subscribed.
My dad had the same "one shot - one kill" rule. No wasting ammo. When we would go hunting he would give us 25 shells each. When we returned from the hunt he would give us one new shell for each kill. When we wasted enough shots that we didn't have any more ammo we would have to earn a new box by doing extra chores. Enjoy your videos. I recently picked up an SR22. I really like it. I've put about 500 rounds thru it with no FTE or FTF. So far it eats everything I feed it.
I was in the market for a Ruger Mark 4 pistol for a while. During that search for “the right one”, I ran across a Smith & Wesson model 22S. It was heavy and bulky, but when I realized it was made right here in Maine, I had to buy it. It was well used and still dirty from use. I am glad I bought it. It is a tack driver with a red dot sight. I also have a Ruger SR22 and love that one too. Light and feels great in my hand.
save your money & buy a Ruger MK III or the new Ruger iv.. you won't be disappointed.. they are only the best semi auto 22's on the planet & they are super accurate..
Definitely not on the planet! But they are the best production 22lr that's commonly found in US gun stores under a grand. Browning buckmarks are really nice but I still prefer the Ruger...even over the berettas and nice s&ws
Thank god, a man who specializes in 22, now as a lad growing up in New Zealand at the time it was a cash strapped country due to poor political direction, I grew up in country, we had wonderful dark soil but meat was hard to come by, it was nothing for my dad to wake me at 5 am I had a 22 rifle & he had a 4-10 shotgun & this is how we put meat on the table. my dad was a policeman so god help you if you handled the weapon wrong & he told me that one shot does the trick if you shoot right, don't waste ammo & make sure you clean kill that animal each time no suffering ( he was a dog handler ) so I hope you can shear my points on 22 , yes it will kill almost anything if used correctly, but here is my question, in terms of high impact kill there seem to be a move away form 22 hornets or magnums, why is this so or is it just me.. it has been a lot of years since I went hunting but there is not much mention of the type of ammo anymore, ?????
You have done a swell job presenting your .22 pistol collection and your comments are right on the money. It's rare these days to find a balanced you-tube video.
Just so you will know... I eat the squirrels I shoot or give them to someone who WILL eat them. I have never or will never kill something just to kill it. That's just wrong and unethical.
Man, I wish I could find a .22 here in Australia for $200. You generally are looking at $500-800 for the lowest end of pistols and $900-1500 for rifles.
I appreciated the entire video but the stories about your dad were the best part. Thanks.
"I don't own many revolvers, only about 10 or 15 of them..."
Thank you for making me feel very modest about my gun collection 22plinkster. :P
I was about to say that, good thing I check the comments first!
Vechs only 10 what I have 2
Lol was gonna say the same thing
LOL!
Lol I have two. California makes it expensive for the meager wage earner... So sad for Americans we have this human plague humans in politics. Second amendment suppose to be free .. However put inflation taxes and permits certifications on each gun I want to buy... Crazy thing he re CA. Gov banned rifles guns that were fine the year before.

No wonder that there is a shortage of 22 pistols on the market. You own them all

benelli steyr
He even owns all of the classics. That's why we can't find them lol
Thanks for sharing your personal story about your dad teaching you...you're a fine marksman and kind person.
Six years later, the Ruger Mark IV is on the top of the list.
acoow
The volquartsen ruger mark IV is way better than the plain version though the plain version is one of the best .22 of today
100💯✅
The browning buck marks have a much better trigger out of the box.
@@brc1945 I know what you mean. My Buck Mark is more fun to shoot that my Mark II, but every time I clean it, I have to rezero the scope.
i really like the s&w m&p c 22lr. i also have a few heritage rough riders
Its nice to hear some one honor his father.
I always recommend a single six to people curious about getting into plinking. If you can sit all day a plink with something like a heritage rough rider then you will have an even better time with a semi auto. I like steering the towards a rough rider or ruger wrangler.

I love this video. While some of the guns have been upgraded since you made it, I think the principals still apply. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
happiness to my ears excellent video ! thank you for honoring your dad, it brought back lot of memories of my dad as you mention yours !
22lr is my favorite. Cheap enough to shoot daily. Love the smith & wesson Mp 22 compact. So many great guns in the 22lr.
This is a really good video, I really enjoy the story of your dad teaching you to shoot and teaching you the value of aiming and ammo conservation.

Great video, very informative and thank you for sharing your tender story of your father. He was a great man.
Hey, it's 29NOV2020. I just purchased a Heritage 22/22Mag 9in w/adj sights. My only revolver and only 22. Video STILL not boring and the best part (no room for argument on this) was the reverence in your voice when talking about your Dad. Best to you!
a good Dad produced a good Son like you
Walther PPQ 22. 12rd. mag. Awesome gun.

4:17 - "I don't own many revolvers but I do own about 10 or 15..." haha! 22Plinkster = Hero.

Good to see a shout out to the High Standard. They made nice .22 pistols.
My grandfather had one. Wasn't reliable at all but a whole lot of fun
sure did have a r-101 Hi STandard and the accuracy is decent. But love the revolver style and it's great when in woods ginsengin or out an about in the deep mountains
It’s never boring listening to ya bro! You have lots of experience and knowledge to share, that’s never boring. Keep up the great work!
I agree with you on the Ruger Mark II/ III, a great gun for beginners and plinkers like myself. Very accurate and low recoil.
Figures. The 2 guns that caught my eye were the ones you didn't even mention, Good video still.
Love my Browning medalist! A real Tack driver!
I am late to the show on this one, but this was a GREAT video. Thanks for posting it. I am a big .22lr revolver guy, but after watching several of your videos, I do believe that I will make a good target semi-auto my next pistol. Once again, thanks for this video.
Nice rule of thumb 22plinkster. We both came from a similar school. I really like and appreciate your shows.
They make 22lr conversion kits for the Glock. Some people love them, some people hate them. I've never used one.
I love all youtubers they are so casual about there guns he's like oh I'm not really a revolver guy I don't have many of em probably like 10 or 15 of em. Really if that's not many than how many is a lot lol
thought the exact same thing.
alot of them is 50-100
ALL of them would be a lot. Don't make me count mine. When I met my wife, some years ago when my collection was smaller, she said HOW MANY GUNS DO YOU HAVE???? "About 80 or so" OMG! How many do you think you need? "All of them."

A complete novice and really enjoyed the video and just the kind of info I need.
Good video
I'm just in love with the Walther P22Q...
Have one and it's been a pretty good pistol. Accurate for size and feels good in hand.
I love my Walther P22 as well. Hits where I aim and fits good in my hand. Yes, it's smaller, but that's what makes it great.
I find my GSG M1911 is a VERY nice platform compared to the P22Q, sorry
Thanks for all your videos. Being from East TN, I completely understand your dad's training method! Keep up the good work!
I bought a Challenger3 several years ago. Been a good dependable gun. Thanks for the video!
Such a cool story about his dad.
lol My Grandfather taught my Dad like that, and he taught me like that, and I've taught my son like that. 6 bullets = 6 squirrels. lol I think it's a country boy thing lol.
Plinkster, as a teenager, I was very much like you, albeit some 60 years ago.

My Challenger II is probably my second most favorite pistol, and then my High Standard 103. And you really need to get a Bearcat to to go along with your Single Six. Your vids should be required watching by every young person.
I agree wtih the browning medalist/challenger/nomad series! They are getting more costley but still more obtainable than a woodsman.
You spent your money wisely! You have a very nice collection. What a great vid too. You gave some important facts that I think I will utilize. Thanks 22Plinkster!
never rob this man .
ps. thank you for this vid
I have tried several revovers and pistols in .22lr, but wasnt that good with it, mainly because I have big hands, and then there was the buckmark and that one fitted nice in my big hands en the groups improved dramaticly, so while others shoot great with different brands it didnt work when I shot them because of different size hands.
Right on Bro!
Great video as always! I have a few of those pistols that you mentioned. Ruger MK1, Ruger MK2, Ruger single 6, Heritage Rough Rider (I love it) Walther P22, Beretta Neo, Smith 422... I love them all...Thank you... Keep up the great work please! Have a good day! :)
I'm with you on the Rugers! Actually, good video with solid recommendations all around. Thanks.
How do you feel about the buckmark as a target pistol? I find mine to be extremely crisp and accurate. My 2 browning guns have set the bar high for any future guns I purchase.
My Buckmark is great for punching holes in paper. I put a red dot on it because my eyes are old.
There you are, cool seeing you on impossible shoot the other day-about to pick me up a .22 just bought a 38 Rossi. great Vid!!
I very much appreciate your insight with honest down to earth reviews...will soon be choosing another target pistol, miss my Ruger Mark II target pistol with red dot scope. Thinking about investing in the Ruger Mark IV.
“I don’t have many revolvers I only have 15 or 20” when I only have about 15 to 20 guns total.
what about 1911 22 pistols?
This was an excellent video. Very good info. You seem very humble and down to earth. This world needs more of that. The other videos on your channel are great too. I subscribed!!
Always appreciate your videos bro. Keep it up.
What of the revolvers?
i saved up $450 for a ruger 10/22 22 inch heavy barrel, and I bought it on my 12 birthday and love it! it is really fun to shoot and really accurate. I hit a ground squirrel in the head from 200 yards out and I am not an amazing shooter.
Life Of A Gold do you know how far away 200 yards is kid
Life Of A Gold i
You should have bought a Powerball lottery ticket that same day.
I cant even see 200 yards away without a scope. Are you sure it wasn't closer to 200 feet?
What did you do, kill it with a shotgun then back up 200 yards, crank up the magnification on your 4-12x scope, and then spend all afternoon shooting mag after mag until you gave up, walked up to the squirrel, checked to make sure no-one was watching, and then shot it in the head point blank
Honest, down to earth, respectful advice.I like the way you talk about your father.Ok , looks like I will be looking at the Rugers. Thanks JJ
+1 for the Buckmark , I did a lot of research before I bought my plinking .22 , and I went with the BuckMark.... Looking forward to adding a tactical solutions barrel , but they are pricey !
Awesome video as always !!
You never went over those two tiny revolvers next to the Single Six. Maybe I missed it. But what are those models?
man I want to know what those are so bad :(
***. Practice at perfection brings perfection,Practice at being average, will make you average.
Great lesson about shooting. Your dad sounds great.
Great vid man!
"I don't own many revolvers, but I do own 10 or 15 of 'em" lol.... 15 revolvers sounds like a shit load to me! I'm so jealous right now.
That's nothing compared to Rufus.
"Now, I don't own many revolvers. Just about 10-15 $400 ones" Only 4k's worth...
exactly! how do so many of these people have tens of thousands of dollars in guns??
@@nickdipaolofan5948 called but them over time since you was a kid. Nobody buys them all at once
@@showcasecharlie11 the guy in this video looks like he is in his 30's. Several of his guns are valued at over $1,000. He probably has well over 100 guns. Most average guns are in the $300 to $600 range. So lets just be conservative and say he has $25k to $40k in guns in his 30's.
Now, that is what a new car costs, so it is not impossible, I am just wondering how he and so many others are spending this much on their hobby. I'm not hating, just curious what they are neglecting to afford them.
@@nickdipaolofan5948 im not far behind him. I started like him as a kid with hand me downs.
@@showcasecharlie11 so how much would you say you have spent in guns over all? If you have $40k in guns and you are around 35 years old. Lets assume you started making money at 20 ish when you got out of college. So $40K divided by 15 years means that you are spending over $2,600 a year on average. This does not even address ammunition costs, range fees, accessories, storage, cleaning supplies, etc. Unless you are making over $100k a year, that is a significant chunk of your annual budget.
I'm making close to $70k a year and I cant justify spending that much on my hobby (as much as I would LOVE to).
Do you guys just let your kids go without braces and sports gear? hahaha just kidding on the last part.
Awesome video dude! I just bought a Ruger 10/22 rifle and I’m looking for a 22 pistol. Thank you for an informative and entertaining video! I just subscribed.
Excellent video. Much obliged Stranger. I loved yr take on the competition pistols. I'm thinking of the CZ Shadow 2.
My dad had the same "one shot - one kill" rule. No wasting ammo. When we would go hunting he would give us 25 shells each. When we returned from the hunt he would give us one new shell for each kill. When we wasted enough shots that we didn't have any more ammo we would have to earn a new box by doing extra chores. Enjoy your videos. I recently picked up an SR22. I really like it. I've put about 500 rounds thru it with no FTE or FTF. So far it eats everything I feed it.
500 rounds for 20 bucks 😞 here in portugal the cheapest you can get is like 5/6 euros for 50 rounds
I didn't know that you were allowed to own a gun in Portugal.
Thanks for a great video and for the story about your pops, keep up the great work man!!!
No, not boring at all! Great info, thanks!
What's the name of the two revolvers left he didn't show us???? I like small 22lr revolvers and he didn't tell us the names :(
One of them looks like an RG 3. Cheap junk from Miami. That's what Reagan was shot with.
@@dennischerone6780 really
"I don't own many revolvers but I do have up to 10 to 15 of them."
...
That's what I was thinking. Me only being 21, and telling people I have about 20 guns, people already think I'm crazy. Lol
Me being (nearly) 40, telling people I want to buy and master a Walther P22, people think I'm crazy !
appreciated the story about your dad & precision shooting. Take care
To a newbie gun owner.. your experience and expertise are gold .. thanks
133 rounds per pound. Says alot. How many guys on "pork chop hill" would have liked a 10/22 and a brick?
Zero.
I really wished that Glock made their own dedicated 22lr
Uhl-gmbh in Germany. The best an reliable 22lr caliber conversion system
Best 22 rimfire pistol
ME TOOOOOOOOOO
@Bro Brooklyn Eh already seen a few horror stories.
@Bro Brooklyn just bought for the wife to train on
Great the Video man. I especially love your story in the end about you dad. Fantastic advice at the end.
I was in the market for a Ruger Mark 4 pistol for a while. During that search for “the right one”, I ran across a Smith & Wesson model 22S. It was heavy and bulky, but when I realized it was made right here in Maine, I had to buy it. It was well used and still dirty from use. I am glad I bought it. It is a tack driver with a red dot sight. I also have a Ruger SR22 and love that one too. Light and feels great in my hand.
What do yo think about a 2019 update on this video??? ... And I will leave it at that... : )
save your money & buy a Ruger MK III or the new Ruger iv.. you won't be disappointed.. they are only the best semi auto 22's on the planet & they are super accurate..
better than Pardinis or Benellis or Morinis or Walther Gsps?
Cesar Garcia yes Ruger Marks are better than all of them you troll.
Buckmark
Definitely not on the planet! But they are the best production 22lr that's commonly found in US gun stores under a grand. Browning buckmarks are really nice but I still prefer the Ruger...even over the berettas and nice s&ws
Nope, you will be. I hated my Ruger Mark whatever. One of the few guns I ever traded away.
HATED it.
Fantastic video brother, keep up the wicked work!!!,
Thank god, a man who specializes in 22, now as a lad growing up in New Zealand at the time it was a cash strapped country due to poor political direction, I grew up in country, we had wonderful dark soil but meat was hard to come by, it was nothing for my dad to wake me at 5 am I had a 22 rifle & he had a 4-10 shotgun & this is how we put meat on the table. my dad was a policeman so god help you if you handled the weapon wrong & he told me that one shot does the trick if you shoot right, don't waste ammo & make sure you clean kill that animal each time no suffering ( he was a dog handler ) so I hope you can shear my points on 22 , yes it will kill almost anything if used correctly, but here is my question, in terms of high impact kill there seem to be a move away form 22 hornets or magnums, why is this so or is it just me.. it has been a lot of years since I went hunting but there is not much mention of the type of ammo anymore, ?????
You dont have many revolvers..only 10 or 15? Damn.
You have done a swell job presenting your .22 pistol collection and your comments are right on the money. It's rare these days to find a balanced you-tube video.
Great collection! and a nice story about your Dad...Thanks for sharing!
Just so you will know... I eat the squirrels I shoot or give them to someone who WILL eat them. I have never or will never kill something just to kill it. That's just wrong and unethical.
You eat what you kill, unless it’s a coyote. You leave them to lay so as a warning to other coyotes and the vultures need to eat.
500 rnds for $20 , ha ha good one
+jeff ferguson Maybe 35 or 40
@@protonhead1 yay, price and availability of .22 is back on track!
Great advice and a great video
Your videos are really Good your collection of pistols are nice
Man, I wish I could find a .22 here in Australia for $200. You generally are looking at $500-800 for the lowest end of pistols and $900-1500 for rifles.
You voted in people that took your rights away, live with it.
^And you voted in Obama..
Yea, your guys politicians really raped its people on that one. I almost cried watching all the guns from there being cut up into pieces.
The minimum wage in Australia is like $17 bucks
Jonathan Dragon well im not alone
lol these are illegall in the uk
lol
So is freedom and autonomy.
sucks
Bread and Butter productions come to the USA you can smell the freedom
Bread and Butter productions It's legal here in the Netherlands. Plus we've got weed & hookers (legal), for the sickos who are interested
Growing up my dad had a couple high standards & a Ruger Mark I & a Ruger mark 2 w/ bull barrel. All very accurate & all very fun!
Thanks dude, great story about growing up with your father too!
Good job. Love the videos.
Great video and tips man. Thank you for sharing it!
