sig sauer sp2022 shooting wax bullets at 30yrds

[crysislove1]

that bullet work for semi auto pristol too ?

[jboritzki]

@crysislove1 Yes but only as a single shot. They will not cycle the gun.

[ifuhearmyshotimissed]

could you put powder in them too?

[jboritzki]

@ifuhearmyshotimissed Maybe a little but too much would disintegrate the wax bullet. I might experiment with a little powder and bullets I made from glue sticks.

These hurt like a bitch

[fondlemeez]

does anyone like the Ruger P95 9mm? I have one and I love it ;-)

[destroyerbmx]

you need to mill out the primer of the shell to accept a remington 209 shotshell, thats whats used in cowboy action competitions. Pistol primer = ~400fps 209 primer = ~800fps

[jboritzki]

@destroyerbmx That's a good idea. I'll have to try that. Thanks for the information man.

[Kiddeth]

what kind of wax and does the wax build up in the barrel fast.

Is it difficult to clean afterward?

[jboritzki]

@Kiddeth It's just wax from a white candle I got from Kroger. It wont' work with the gel candles or anything that is soft and malleable when it is cold. The wax don't really build up in the barrel but the primer leaves a dirty mess. Just clean it as you normally would and it's good to go.

[Kiddeth]

@jboritzki Sweet, thanks for the info.

Side Note: I am really loving the Sig 2022 , great Pistol.

[adamkajones]

I meant to say "best gun for the money"

[adamkajones]

It's not good for the extractor to load rounds through the ejection port. You should put them in the magazine and then rack the slide like normal. I love my 2022! But gun for the money you can get!!!

[freeze427]

@adamkajones That wont work because the wax bullet will get smashed on the ramp and not load properly.

[schweizerhornet]

dont they kill? Just injure, or what are they for?

[jboritzki]

@schweizerhornet No, these will not kill. The wax is soft and the velocity is too slow. It would possible break the skin at close range like a paintball gun would. These are for low noise and low cost target shooting. There is no gunpowder in this round.

@jboritzki ok thx ! Very interesting :D

[jboritzki]

@swissfa18

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

[swissfa18]

@jboritzki

Nooo problem dude :D

by the way... do u recommend the sp 2022, in terms of reliability, durability and accuracy? Greetings

[jboritzki]

@swissfa18

Oh yeah. It's never jammed or misfired, it's always very accurate and well built. The French police use the SP2022 as their duty weapon and I think a U.S. Army tank division use it as well. It's an all around great little gun.

[swissfa18]

@jboritzki thx, maybe gona buy one :D

[jboritzki]

@swissfa18

You'll be happy with the purchase. I like your video on the Sig rifles.

[swissfa18]

@jboritzki thank u! Most people seem not to do....

[bigdawg061]

haha wax bullets are fun i got shot in the ass with one felt like getting hit with a paintball gun

[wavelength1970]

crazy...btw, you have 2 of the same Sigs as I do !

[jboritzki]

@wavelength1970

They're great guns, aren't they!

[ChrisKillz503]

great idea man, very innovative

[ruizhernandeztrustfi]

Yeah!

Good alternative. I'm planning to make my own wax bullets for target shooting and training at home.

[jboritzki]

You will enjoy being able to practice at home with these. It's not the same as practicing with real ammo, no recoil, no follow-up shots, but it's still fun and useful training and cheaper than shooting .22lr. These may break the skin at close range though. I use to do this with a .45 but the 9mm seem to fly much faster and I am not using a flat nose wad cutter.

[ruizhernandeztrustfi]

I agree with you, the 45acp by nature is a low velocity projectile and the best bet in this case is a 9mm. I use live ammunition as well but with the incredible rise in ammo prices, training with wax bullets is the way to go.
