 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Today we're looking at the standard manufacturing S333 Thunderstruck. It's a two barrel revolver chambered in .22 Magnum. It has a cylinder that carries eight loads. And with each trigger pull, two shots will be fired. Now, it's very different. Have you ever seen anything like this? You know, it was released about a year and a half ago. Prior to its release, I've never seen anything like this before. People say they want innovation. This is definitely innovative. It's not for everybody. It's definitely not for everybody. But it was flying off the shelf. Some people just want that newest firearm that's different and unique. And they certainly found it with the S333 Thunderstruck .22 Magnum. Two shots. Now, it does have a two finger trigger, an open trigger guard and internal hammers with transfer bars. Alright, so standard manufacturing says this is extremely safe because it does have a trigger bar safety and transfer bars. The grip is, it feels rubber. They call it tactical urethane. The website says polymer. I contacted them. I said, what is it? They said it's tactical urethane. Whatever that means, it feels like it is rubber. Milden three dot sights that are red, all steel. You know, Milden, you can't move them or anything. About two and a half inch sight radius and a heavy trigger pull. Alright, and so it's definitely unique. It's different, but there was a problem and that was accuracy. Now, I will say, this was never designed to be a distance shooter. It's for up close and personal. Actually, the S333 stands for, well, the S probably standard manufacturing, but self-defense. The average self-defense situation takes place in three seconds from three yards and three shots. That's what standard manufacturing says and that's where they came up with the name. But because of its lack of accuracy and some tumbling with the bullets, creating keyholes on paper, which I didn't notice because I shot steel, but others have said it was keyholing. They said that the barrels are too short. Actually, they are an inch and a quarter long. So they came out with a new model. Alright, we'll show clear here. And the new model has an inch and a half long barrels and standard manufacturing said that that is the fix for accuracy. Now, once again, even with an inch and a half long barrels, it's not meant for distance. But it's supposed to create a more accurate shot, a shot with no tumbling, that additional quarter inch. It's supposed to do that and that's what they're claiming. There is another difference here and that is you see those serrations on the cylinder. They put that out and made a completely unfluted cylinder. Alright, not a big deal, but this is the one they're selling now. And I believe what is the MSRP is $449. But if that is the fix for the tumbling and this can be shot in a little bit of a further distance, you know, the three, three, three, the three yards, okay, fine. The three seconds, okay, fine. Three shots. I mean, two shots, one trigger pull and there you go. Now, the trigger pull on this actually feels a little bit smoother. It does require a full reset and it does require two fingers. What I found is that you can stack it right there and now you're in single action right there. But this actually feels better than this trigger and I contacted them. They said that really wasn't changed, but that also goes to show you that not all triggers are created equal. That's why most people that measure trigger weights, they'll do it five and six times and it will vary from firearm to firearm. But this one actually feels a little better. I have to say, I think I'll be able to stay on target a little better and with the increased accuracy, perhaps maybe a little bit more velocity with a quarter inch, 22 magnum, it will make a difference. I'm hoping it does, but it remains innovative and different and under 20 ounces. Let's check that out right now. We'll take a look at the weight. Now, I already did this and I saw a half ounce heavier with this, so that's not bad. All things considered, one pound three and an eighth ounce, one pound three and a quarter ounce. So not even a half ounce, a quarter ounce. We'll throw some 22 magnum on here. I've got a little bit of 22 magnum anyway, so we could do a range review. One pound four and a half ounces, we move that to just ounces. It's loaded weight is 20 and a half ounces. Let's see what the original with the one and a quarter, 20 and a quarter. So it's only a quarter ounce heavier and it feels like it has a nicer trigger. When I do them side by side, this one is really heavy and this one not as heavy. It's actually lighter, but they said they didn't change it and that's kind of surprising to me, but hey, it is what it is. I'm going to base it on what they say. Nobody knows their product better than they do. They also call this a volley fire. You'll see that on the package of volley fire and it's a Thunderstruck S333. They also changed where they put the name Thunderstruck there under the cylinder to the right. This time under the cylinder to the left on the newer model. But here it is. Check it out. If you're into innovative firearms and you think it would be cool to have two shots per trigger pull with this model, you're going to love it because it is pretty cool. I have to say I do enjoy owning it. I've had this for about a year and a half. I had this for about a week and I can't wait to get to the range and check it out. I'm taking you guys along to see if that extra quarter inch makes a difference. If you like videos like this, please subscribe and share. I always appreciate thumbs up button.
