At the Range Handgun Review: Ruger 22/45 .22 LR

[TimWarrior]

Thanks for the video. Looking to buy my first gun, and this will probably be the one. (first of many). Heard this was good for developing good habits if you're a noob like me.

[cdawg4391]

Why basically no recoil? I've shot the .22 ruger and it has about a 2-3 inch recoil/kickback.

[ntrudr800]

@cdawg4391 I think it has something to do with what ammo you are using, how you hold it, and your strength. Most videos I see show very little recoil, but one showed significant. I think he was holding it one-handed.

[blackhawk7206]

So this pistol way better then the walther p22? Doesn't jam doesn't misfire?

[MrSurgicalPrecision]

@blackhawk7206 I've had both. This one doesn't jam or misfire AS MUCH but it still happens occasionaly

[COLT1911COM]

@blackhawk7206 I have owned one of these with 5.5 bull barrel and after a few hundred rounds of breaking it in I have had no jamming,cycling issues at all...when i used round nose lead ammo ( it was on sale)..I had some feeding issues, but I took my dremmel tool and polished the feed ramp no more issues...

[PolishedTurd4Life]

just bought one love it

[jaratt85]

on the old school Standard and Mark 1 the safety works as a bolt stop. you draw it back and hold it on fire and the switch it to safe and it stays, putting it back to fire drops it. my fathers mark 2 doesnt have a bolt stop at all tho

[hurricanepride45]

I actually just shot one of these today and i loved it

[zrandeb123]

im thinking about buying a new one and cant decide

[zrandeb123]

which one is better the mark 3 or the 22/45

[zrandeb123]

is the mark 3 or the 22/45 better

[mememe123xyz]

@zrandeb123

Really the same gun internally. Just different materials and feel in hand. Just depends on what you prefer to shoot.

[TACTICALRUM]

couldn't agree more.... I own the same model and like it very much... nice and cheap for pistol practice.

[mississip999]

pretty cool

[RollingRocker232]

Trigger Discipline dude... Waving a loaded, cocked firearm around with your finger on the trigger= Poor Idea.

[RollingRocker232]

@RollingRocker232 nevermind... Didn't notice you didn't have a mag in it. Sorry man.

[slipper409]

What has anyone heard about the S&W A2

[hahaland74]

Would you say the Ruger 22/45 would be relatively easy to find brand new?

[MrSurgicalPrecision]

@hahaland74 Up until a couple months ago my local dealer had 4 different models of it in the case, so, yeah.

[brianl890]

Love my Ruger 22/45 mark 3. the loaded chamber indicator is a bit stupid since we always safety check our firearms. That said, I had a gunsmith/friend of mine fabricate a 1911 grip mod on mine to accept 1911 grip panels through standard 1911 bushings. Changes the dynamics of the pistol and makes it a real shooter. Love the Ruger series of .22 rimfire pistols. Accurate, and a great way to introduce people into the sport of bullseye pistol. Cheers my friend.

[brianl890]

100 Canadian dollars.  Expensive and wort every penny.

[brianl890]

He doesn't ship to Canada but had a life friend bring it to me from the US. Canadian customers...get American friends:o)) He delivered the goods and a holster that makes the gun.

[brianl890]

The Ruger's are excellent pistols and really "overbuilt". hence they last for generations. Nothing better than a Battlecloth holster to put it in. You will find that with the standard 5.5 inch bull barrel, the holster will be a bit long. About 1.5 inches. To me this is a good thing since it protects the muzzle crown from a drop on a craggy piece of rock or whatever. Uncle Mikes is nothing. He designs specialty holsters and I am amazed at the quality.

[brianl890]

Want a good holster for check out Battlecloth. You can check him out on AR15.com maybe if he is still there. Made in The US (I'm from Canada). I am a thoroughly satisfied customer. Awesome field holster for this pistol. Battlecloth@comcast.net. I think his name is Steve if I remember. Really cool holster!

[MrSurgicalPrecision]

@brianl890 Cool thanks man. I still don't have a holster for it so I'll check that out.

[neonshoji]

Cool video, man.

[MrSurgicalPrecision]

@nicdono4 I'm not offended. No need to remove the comment : )

[TheJeg777]

#1 handgun used by the Mafia, Ruger and .22 are hard to beat! Two behind the ear and almost impossible to match the bullets with so many .22s out there.

[SBEbenelli2]

you sound like seth rogen, not a bad thing, and nice video!

[MrSurgicalPrecision]

@SBEbenelli2 Man it's crazy how many people tell me I sound like someone else. That's the first time I've heard that one though. Someone even said I sound like Boomhauer from King of the Hill. Thanks and thanks for watching. Shoot safe!

[zeppguitarded]

@MrSurgicalPrecision Can't even understand boomhauer. I can understand you just fine =)

[IKEFOOTBALL77]

u22 neos has a nice slide lock, i love that gun. my dad used to have a 22/45 but he sold it when i was born :(

[ReDact45]

Nice pistol. Have you found a good holster for it?

[MrSurgicalPrecision]

I carry it in a universal shoulder holster from Uncle Mike's. It works but it's not great. Can't remember the size for sure.

[MrSurgicalPrecision]

Stainless fluted would have been my choice too but I got this on a trade so I took it.

[20351MA]

Got one just like it about two months ago, except in stainless. Love it.
