This video likely reviews the SIG 522 rifle, comparing its potential as a 'Baby Commando' style firearm. Given the title's reference to the SIG 522, the content will focus on this specific model, exploring its features, performance, and perhaps its role in the market. The 'Baby Commando' moniker suggests a discussion about its size, handling, or perhaps its role as a more compact or affordable alternative to larger commando-style rifles.
This video features a "warm-up" session with the Sig 522 by TacticalDoodle in October 2011. It showcases his return to "TNP" (likely a shooting competition or training event) after a break, demonstrating his process of "knocking the rust off." Humorous moments arise from his habit of trying to bolt-release the Sig 522 like an AR-15. The video highlights the Sig 522 as a favorite Tactical .22 for its ergonomics, accuracy, and reliability, serving as a cost-effective platform for preparing for centerfire drills. The "Eat Lead Drill" is mentioned, and a Kimber .22 1911 conversion on an S&W Scandium frame makes an appearance but experiences issues with Federal Bulk ammo. The content is presented as a "slice of life" TNP video.
This review of tactical .22 rifles, primarily the S&W M&P 15-22, highlights their utility for training, recreation, and survival. Key features include threaded muzzles, ample rail space, and high-capacity magazines. While offering significant cost savings for practice, potential downsides like lower reliability and less recoil compared to centerfire carbines are discussed.
The 'Firefight' drill offers a cost-effective way to practice tactical shooting with .22 LR firearms, mimicking centerfire drills at a fraction of the cost. It emphasizes ammunition reliability, especially with brands like CCI, and highlights the training economy of .22 LR over .223/5.56. The drill tests marksmanship, movement, and weapon handling under pressure.
The SIG 522 is presented as a high-value tactical .22 LR rifle, mimicking SIG 550/556 ergonomics for training and recreation. It features a durable 7075-T6 aluminum upper receiver, polymer lower, and reliable performance with bulk .22 LR ammunition. Its compatibility with non-proprietary Black Dog magazines and simple field strip process make it a practical and cost-effective choice for high-volume practice.
