This video from NRA Publications' 'I Carry' series spotlights several rimfire handguns suitable for concealed carry, training, or plinking. It emphasizes the advancements in .22 LR defensive ammunition and the benefits of using rimfire firearms for practice due to reduced recoil and cost. The featured models include the FN 502, Kel-Tec P17, Ruger LCR22, Sig Sauer P322, and Smith & Wesson M&P22 Compact, highlighting their specific features and potential use cases.
Jay Grazio of Shooting Illustrated presents the Ruger LCR22 as a practical choice for shooters sensitive to recoil or with reduced hand strength. The review highlights the LCR22's features, the utility of the PHLster City Special holster for concealed carry, and the effectiveness of specialized .22 LR defensive ammunition like Federal 22 Punch. The core message emphasizes that a manageable firearm is superior to a more powerful one that remains unused.
In this video, Scott from Kentucky Ballistics tests the durability of giant 36-inch steel scissors against various calibers of ammunition. Initially, the scissors are tested for their cutting ability on branches, demonstrating surprising effectiveness before breaking. The main experiment involves shooting the scissors with calibers ranging from .22 Long Rifle up to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm cause minimal damage, larger calibers like .45 ACP and .500 S&W Magnum begin to break down the scissors, particularly the plastic handles and eventually the steel blades. The test culminates with a .50 BMG round, which successfully obliterates the scissors.
