Volquartsen is one stand up company. I have only good things to say about them. I bought a product of theirs for my Ruger 10/22 a while back, and I was having some issues installing it. I thought it was issues with the Volquartsen product, so I contacted them and they promptly sent out another. When I received the new one, I was still having issues with it, so I contacted them again. So they sent another. Right after they mailed the 2nd one, I realized that the problem was with the 10/22 and not Volquartsen's product. They treated me like a king and I can only reccomend them. I appreciated what they did soo much, it was really darn cool of them to sent me 2 more products, no questions asked. I felt absolutely terrible for this whole situation. I feel the only way I can pay them back is to show them the love they showed me and recommend their product. Their products are top notch!
I rebuilt my Ruger Mk 2 Gov't moel...8nin bbl...with all Volquartsen internals back ca 1994 or so...nice smooth & lite trigger pull...put a B-Square scope mount on it along with a Tasco red dot...used it originally for bowling pin head shooting competitions..excellent stuff...
Cool thing about a 3" barrel is you have more subsonic ammo available than you do with a longer barrel since ~1200fps - ~1250fps rated ammo out of a rifle should exit this barrel around under the transonic barrier of ~1130fps.
Well, this explains why they would not cut my barrel down when I ordered my regular black mamba last year, despite advertising those same services on their website. Hey! Let's just get them to buy another pistol at 1400 in 6 months when we release the mini! Does the mini also sound like a babby rattle when you shake it? Whew! I feel so much better after typing that out! It's almost a cure to buyer's remorse. BTW, I still like the pistol despite all of that. :p
Ruger's pistols sound like maracas when you shake them, so I guess a simulation of a Ruger should as well. Weirdly, my Ruger all-metal Mark IV Target (with Voquartzen Accurizing kit) makes no sound when shaked (or even, stirred). It's a distributor custom version with black anodized aluminum lower.
Back in the 1970s there was a 45cal. fully automatic select fire (three rounds full auto) pistol out of South Africa called the Black Mamba. This gun was so fast that it could at full auto put 3 rounds into a 3in. circle at a ridiculous distance. (i don't remember it was a long time ago) And at a rate of well over 1000 rounds per min. (if not limited at 3 rounds per trigger pull) (again I don't remember the actual rate) Based on the standard 1911 action but pushed to its limit. I believe that it actually had a few less parts and was made entirely of 440 steelSo a little heavy which helped its recoil in full auto. Don't know what happen to it I've never heard of it sense then. At the time I read about it in an old Soldier of Fortune. And I believe it was long rounds and not ACP. Put I could be wrong again and it was ACP. Would make more sense because it was handle clip feed,.
Been following you for quite some time enjoy your videos. Other day at Walmart I spotted 2 boxes of CCI mini mag in the 100 round boxes in an otherwise empty ammo case. I must have guarded that case for 10 minutes before an associate finally came by. You get to have all the fun!!! Oh well, I realize it's a tough job but someone has to do it!!
Loved your ethical devotion to diplomacy... You would not allow yourself to say that shooters with an 'Average skill-set' may have problems with the 3" barrel. LOVED watching you shoot. You and Hickok are now two of my favorite TH-cam 'pew-pew' channels. Just discovered your channel and subscribed.
I want to thank you for your channel, it inspired me to get back to 22lr shooting. I just watched your video about CF and it touched my heart. My wife passed from CF in October 2017. Thank you for what you do to inspire more shooters out there. Can you do a video on a CZ 457? I have a new thumb hole setup and curious as to what you think of it. Thank you again.
Very cool! Volquartsen is top notch quality. I've built several MK series with their frames and bolts. Mainly opt for TacSol Pac-lite receivers. Going to look further into the mini mamba.
Being in a country that's against shooting sports, and lacking the capital to pursue them, I gotta say I appreciate you using that ammo for us to watch.
Bought a volquartsen extractor for my 10/22. Wouldn’t eject reliably. I called them up and they sent me another for free and haven’t had any issues since👍
Of course he can shoot the gun legally without a suppressor on it, there are no minimum barrel length restrictions on pistols. A snub nose 38 has a barrel length of about 2 and a 1/4 inches and a 38 Derringer has a barrel length as short as 1 and 1/2 inches. Perhaps the above commenter is confused because on a integrity suppressed rifle, the total barrel length includes the suppressor. So in that case, yes, removing the silencer COULD make the weapon illegal if you do not have a short barrel rifle (SBR) stamp. However, this is a pistol, not a rifle and yes, I was extremely frustrated that we didn't get a comparison between suppressed and unsuppressed.

The way i understood it, the longer the barrel, the longer the distance between the two parts of the iron sights, which increases the accuracy of the shooter. Given that you use a red dot sight, the barrel length becomes irrelevant for that.
The distance between the sights dont make the gun any more accurate themselves , but a longer barrel is generally more accurate. What makes the longer guns seem more accuarate is the distance between the sights are more precise to aim...
The mini mamba with a dot sight and the full size (4.5in) with a pistol scope. Talk about putting the challenge back into "ground squirrelling". A fun challenge, for sure.
I remember being able to load a magazine with ammo. All my semis are put up in the safe. my single shot is what i walk the desert hunting rabbits with now . no way im going to burn my stash of ammo up and pay make gun guys go broker prices.
Did you see the video about the SW single shot .22 pistol? Not only was it beautiful and accurate, I was thinking "you could shoot that all day for a few dollars, and then clean it in two minutes!". Nothing to clean but the inside of the barrel! I wish S&W would bring that back!
Love ya 22P, but a Ruger Mk3 or Mk4 will do everything I need it to do, for a lot less. And it will be reliable, accurate, ergonomic, durable and all those other good things. And just as fun?
I’m with you on that cuz basically their charging an additional $1000ish bucks for a MK3 that’s been chopped & threaded. Prolly cost me around $100 to just have one of mine cut & threaded & add that to mk3 purchase price of 400ish & you have similar package for $1000 less than mini mamba.
Well I will stick to my rugged GP 100 22 S, L and LR 10 round revolver. Not suppressed capable of course. But a great plinker and trail gun. Minute of squirrels and rabbits.
! You know, I recently saw some targets at our local range, just a sheet of white paper with a rough image of a squirrel on it! Sort of cartooney, might have just been run off on a copier.... A grandfather teaching a little boy to shoot with a single-shot rifle, it was so cute! People are always joking about squirrels in this context... it seems like it would be really hard to actually shoot one!
Mini mamba. Yeah cool plunked! But where are your new videos? If it’s to cold for you to work down there in Tennessee send me a few cases of that there CCI standard and I’ll make a few videos for you to post. Just go in the back of the safe and review some old Remington or marlin squirrel rifles. Just busting on you , keep the vids coming and go to work
people are saying unreliable 22lr.... 😂 only when I don't clean the pistol. M&P15-22, m&p 22 compact, taurus tx22, and I haven't shot my 10-22 since I got the 15-22.
@@charlesmckinley29 so true. The newest ones sure come apart a lot easier. I just don't care for the loaded chamber indicator on the new ones. It sticks out the side.
@@clarkrichards1907 the magazine trigger disconnect is my complaint. If the mag falls out I still want the one in the chamber to go bang if I pull the trigger.
@Invalid Characters With the regular Black Mamba going for 1200 right now, i can only imagine the Mini Mamba going for a few hundred more. And for slightly less accuracy being a shorter barrel.
I shoot 22lr as a cheaper alternative. This gun kinda chokes the life out of that mindset. I can still shoot squirrel sized groups with my stock 22/45 so I can’t see the advantage. Cost wise that is. I’m sure it’s mechanically superior in every way, but these days it’s about the money I can save. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you for the moment. 😉🤙🏼🖖🏼
My favorite part of your videos are the 8 plates that ping in a major scale. You should get a set of chromatic plates and try to play a song with them.
You definitely do not need to shoot sub sonics in it, with a 3" barrel almost any ammo is sub sonic. I did this same thing with a Browning Buckmark. Cut the barrel down to 3" and put a red dot and suppressor on. Sweet shooter!
It's not that 22lr is hard to find, there's plenty out there. It's just hard to justify paying the current prices. The same goes for 9mm and 5.56. If you can stomach paying nearly $1 per round, you can buy enough to keep shooting all day. It's definitely a good time to be sitting on a well stocked pile of ammo and reloading supplies accumulated during the good years.
@@deucedeuce1572 Not real sure. If anything they may reduce velocity to some measurable level. The velocity generated on a bullet is due to the seal between the jacket and the barrel bore. It's like a piston in a cylinder, requiring a tight seal to achieve good power. Break the seal in some way and that pressure escapes and doesn't accelerate the projectile. A suppressor is designed to control the escaping velocity of gasses and the refilling velocity of atmosphere into the bore after the bullet escapes, reducing noise (mostly noise due to pressure shockwaves, sounds like a sharp boom in our ear but is actually a gradual ramping up of a roar of noise that happens too quickly to discern).
@@exothermal.sprocket Thanks. Was wondering, because barrel extensions increase velocity. It's just not as much as a barrel though, because there's no seal around the projectile. I'm sure you're right though. If any, it's probably negligible.
@@deucedeuce1572 They have to be precision devices to avoid affecting accuracy as well. Velocity changes and/or uneven pressure control will affect trajectory.
For your next rifle review you should do the Ruger American Rimfire Long Range Target. From what I can tell it is a pretty accurate budget precision rifle.
@@bigretardhalo I’m not australian, but I’m guessing it’s too short in either barrel length, overall lenght or both. That would be the case in my country, Denmark. (Min. 210mm overall length/min 100mm barrel length)
@@relaxed70 to be fair no one did either but a bunch of whinging and crying about blaming ammo shortages on the manufacturer's. Its not hard to look up the damn information yourself. Short answer is any manufacturer in the gun industry ammunition. Firearms, parts, optics and so on have all said the same thing regarding shortages and it all pertains to parts due to high demand of 2020. Hence ammunition is not the only thing dealing with massive amounts of shortages and long backlogs. If only shortages was ammunition then you could possibly blame manufacturer's but that's clearly not the case.
If you're using a red dot sight, the barrel length makes absolutely no difference in accuracy. The only thing that a longer barrel does is increase your sight radius...if you're using the sights.
That is sort of a cool pistol but there's only one 22lr that has a decent capacity that cycles reliably and it doesn't cost like that thing does.Those people should get with it and offer or make 20 round magazines that work for 22lr/22mag.
Dear Plinkster, as i haven't seen all of Your footage, i'd like to ask if You ever considered shooting pressurized soda bottles (empty, dry, PET)?! My friends and i like to put bike valves into their lids (reuseable) and pump up the things. Some hold more but 50 psi should do. We go bananas when hitting 3 at a time as we're just doing pellet airguns and BBs. Greetings from Berlin, Germany P.S.: Make sure to put in 1/2 an ounce of flour and hit near the bottom when hanged.
I don't understand why people are complaining about ammo I can get 22 long round all day everyday 45 long coat 38 super 38 special I have absolutely no problem finding any ammo that I need so to me there's not an ammo shortage sounds I got a credit card or a bank card and an internet connection
@22 Plinkster, Could you compare CCI ammo with something like 22lr Eley Tenex competition ammo? $60 vs $212 for a 500 round brick. I'd like to have you review both out of the full size Black Mamba. Please, with sugar on top.

I never knew that I needed a supressed 22 and a "musical target" until this video
Nice little plinker.. All though a 3" pipe in a .22LR makes pretty much all .22LR ammo subsonic so..
Cool thing about a 3" barrel is you have more subsonic ammo available than you do with a longer barrel since ~1200fps - ~1250fps rated ammo out of a rifle should exit this barrel around under the transonic barrier of ~1130fps.

@@deucedeuce1572 Not real sure. If anything they may reduce velocity to some measurable level. The velocity generated on a bullet is due to the seal between the jacket and the barrel bore. It's like a piston in a cylinder, requiring a tight seal to achieve good power. Break the seal in some way and that pressure escapes and doesn't accelerate the projectile. A suppressor is designed to control the escaping velocity of gasses and the refilling velocity of atmosphere into the bore after the bullet escapes, reducing noise (mostly noise due to pressure shockwaves, sounds like a sharp boom in our ear but is actually a gradual ramping up of a roar of noise that happens too quickly to discern).
@@exothermal.sprocket Thanks. Was wondering, because barrel extensions increase velocity. It's just not as much as a barrel though, because there's no seal around the projectile. I'm sure you're right though. If any, it's probably negligible.
@@deucedeuce1572 They have to be precision devices to avoid affecting accuracy as well. Velocity changes and/or uneven pressure control will affect trajectory.
"This is my job, and I love my job!" 6.4 million jealous fans want yout job.
For your next rifle review you should do the Ruger American Rimfire Long Range Target. From what I can tell it is a pretty accurate budget precision rifle.
With optic sights, it doesn't matter how long or short the barrel is, shoot ability and accuracy will be the same.
Such a shame we can’t have that in Australia, have to stick to my Mark IV HUNTER
Id rather have the hunter myself..im looking to buy one soon hopefully and sell my mk3 target
Customize it!
Does Volquartsen not sell in Australia or is there something that makes this particular model illegal there?
@@bigretardhalo I’m not australian, but I’m guessing it’s too short in either barrel length, overall lenght or both.
That would be the case in my country, Denmark. (Min. 210mm overall length/min 100mm barrel length)
@@magnusnordstrm2827 - thanks for the info... so is that all pistols or just semi auto? So a snub nose .38 revolver is illegal in Denmark?
Tell your ammo sponsors that the public's patience is wearing thin.
@@briangreen550 that's bullshit.
@@briangreen550 To be fair, there weren't any "facts" in your original statement.
@@relaxed70 to be fair no one did either but a bunch of whinging and crying about blaming ammo shortages on the manufacturer's. Its not hard to look up the damn information yourself. Short answer is any manufacturer in the gun industry ammunition. Firearms, parts, optics and so on have all said the same thing regarding shortages and it all pertains to parts due to high demand of 2020. Hence ammunition is not the only thing dealing with massive amounts of shortages and long backlogs. If only shortages was ammunition then you could possibly blame manufacturer's but that's clearly not the case.
They don't gas. A gun friendly state should have an ammo manufacturing public utility.
A Bower's itty bitty suppressor would be great on there
Looks so cool would love to get my hands on one
Hey Plinkster , You need to review the NEW Heritage Barkeep ....Please , Thank you :)
It's on his channel already
@@ChrisMiller0526 How ? and where it just came out ..
@@billsummy2412 just seen it the other day either it got taken down or it was on his Facebook
@@ChrisMiller0526 must be on face book , i don`t do fb so hope he will put it up here on youtube ....
Sorry mark IV, we're going with the mamba. Thanks Mr. Waverly ♥️🤚
I like your hand placement when removing the suppressor... I get in the habit of holding the safety ON when "tooling" accessories
That thing looks stupid fun lol
That's a sweet little blaster
Pretty sure it would make for a pretty cool Star Wars gun.
I’ll just stick with my Browning.
One of my favorites!
If you're using a red dot sight, the barrel length makes absolutely no difference in accuracy. The only thing that a longer barrel does is increase your sight radius...if you're using the sights.
That is sort of a cool pistol but there's only one 22lr that has a decent capacity that cycles reliably and it doesn't cost like that thing does.Those people should get with it and offer or make 20 round magazines that work for 22lr/22mag.
Looks like a gun from a Star Wars movie without the suppressor.
These are beautiful and I really want one now, like if I’m getting a .22 pistol that’s what I’m getting
Looks a great little pistol
It does look pretty slick.
Dear Plinkster, as i haven't seen all of Your footage, i'd like to ask if You ever considered shooting pressurized soda bottles (empty, dry, PET)?! My friends and i like to put bike valves into their lids (reuseable) and pump up the things.
Some hold more but 50 psi should do.
We go bananas when hitting 3 at a time as we're just doing pellet airguns and BBs. Greetings from Berlin, Germany
P.S.: Make sure to put in 1/2 an ounce of flour and hit near the bottom when hanged.
I don't understand why people are complaining about ammo I can get 22 long round all day everyday 45 long coat 38 super 38 special I have absolutely no problem finding any ammo that I need so to me there's not an ammo shortage sounds I got a credit card or a bank card and an internet connection
@22 Plinkster, Could you compare CCI ammo with something like 22lr Eley Tenex competition ammo? $60 vs $212 for a 500 round brick. I'd like to have you review both out of the full size Black Mamba. Please, with sugar on top.
I'm not sure I WANT the answer to this question!
For those of you who want a short mk3-mk4 upper but don't want to pay 550 for it check out maddmacs precision. Would be cool if plinkster did a review of them.
looks like a pretty kickass 22
id buy this thing in a heartbeat if i didnt live in the city… cant exactly shoot targets on your back porch when you live in a row home hehe
😂 Play “The Jetsons” tune on those plates.
My browning buck mark is awesome!
