I have a Ruger model .22/45... I shoot it with the kids primarily.Dave2 wrote:I think it's as much about reliability as bullet ballistics. After > 1500 rounds, I have yet to have a non-mag related failure in my 9mm, but my .22 has had two or three FTEs after only 100 rounds (it's still really fun to shoot thoughOldgringo wrote:Sorta' on topic:
There are those who do not believe the .22 is an adequate self defense cartridge. I'm waiting to hear the condition of the person/s who asked to be shot with a .22 to prove this belief.).
Just for my own interest, I've avoided cleaning it for a while.
Have sent ~1,000 rounds through it since the last cleaning, without a single problem.
Was at the range on Monday and, finally, had 1 FTE about 10 rounds into a 200 round .22 session.
Was quite the mess inside when I took it apart. Cleaned up just fine.
Reliable? Absolutely.
