Frequently Asked Questions

How do you clear a Failure to Eject (FTE) on a Ruger SR22?

To clear an FTE on a Ruger SR22, first ensure the firearm is safe by pointing it in a safe direction and removing the magazine. Lock the slide to the rear, remove any obstruction from the chamber and magazine well, then manually cycle the action. Reinsert the magazine and chamber a new round.

What aftermarket upgrades are recommended for the Ruger SR22?

The video mentions the Tandemkross Captured Recoil Spring as a valuable upgrade for the Ruger SR22, particularly after extensive use, suggesting it can improve reliability and longevity compared to the stock recoil spring assembly.

What ammunition is reliable for the Ruger SR22?

During testing, Winchester .22 LR ammunition caused failures to eject. Aguila Super Extra .22 LR ammunition proved to be more reliable and resolved the malfunction issues, indicating it's a better choice for this specific firearm setup.

Are Triumph Systems Pop Packs effective with .22 LR firearms?

Triumph Systems Pop Packs did not produce a significant "pop" or splatter effect when fired with .22 LR rounds due to the paint's viscosity and the rounds' velocity. Higher caliber firearms, like a 20-gauge shotgun, were more effective.
