Videos tagged with 22LR Pistol Reliability

This video details a negative experience with a Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite pistol, highlighting persistent reliability issues and accuracy problems across various ammunition types. After attempting upgrades like a Volquartsen recoil spring and guide rod, the firearm still failed to perform consistently. The issue escalated to a suspected barrel obstruction, leading to a return to Ruger, who determined the barrel needed replacement and charged the owner. Ultimately, the speaker found a Volquartsen Mamba X to be a far superior and reliable alternative.

This review critically assesses the Walther PPK/S, distinguishing between German-made .22LR and US-made .380 ACP variants. The German PPK/S .22LR is deemed unreliable and poorly crafted, with an exceptionally heavy double-action trigger. In contrast, the US-made PPK/S .380 ACP is praised for its significantly improved looks, feel, function, and craftsmanship, featuring much better triggers.
