Miniguns

[DanGunner]

Took my two tiny .22 short pistols to the range for their annual workout yesterday. Astra Cub cycles CCI reliably but Beretta 950 shuns CCI and prefers Aguila. A few fails to feed but all and all they perforated half-sized silhouette at 3 yards impressively. As usual they drew a lot of attention from other shooters. Five .25 ACP mouse guns are next up for annual exercise, then a couple of .22 LR mice and two .32 ACPs before all miniguns go back in hibernation.

Hi Dan, have you tried CCI's offering called 'Upper cut' in 22LR? It supposedly gives optimal performance in shorter barrels, as defense round. Don't know about accuracy though.

I make it a point to bring at least one .22 pistol every range trip. Cheap practice to warm up with. Nothing other than recoil control can't e practiced on a .22

I was hoping this thread was about TX22's with FRT's.

Doesn’t help guns that only shoot .22 shorts

My little Beretta 950B from 1960 runs the CCI shorts flawlessly. I wander if the longer barrel aids in the function somewhat. But I sure would think your 950 should also.

All of the Beretta pistols with tip-up barrels are ammo sensitive since they rely on blowback for extraction rather than an extractor and have sensiitive springs. My .22 LR MOdel 21a, for instance, wll not cycle HV ammo such as Mini-Mags but works fine with CCI Stingers

Semi auto .22 shorts are crazy.

Here is my mini-revolver, a North American Arms revolver in .22 Short. Holds five rounds, it is used exclusively for my early morning walks/jogs, nothing else. I tried to carry my other CCWs- a G43, P238, LCP, LCP II, etc and none of them worked well while jogging and sprinting. This one, even though anemic in firepower, is better than the blade I sued to carry on those mornings.

Why did you choose the .22 short over the .22LR version? They both hold five rounds.

^^^^^^^

The .22 short is smaller, a little lighter. It is a last-ditch get off me gun. I previously carried a Microtech OTF knife (85%) while jogging, but finally determined that I wanted a little distance from a perp. This is perfect in its role.

My NAA .22 LR is snappy with CCI stingers. That is a powerful rimfire cart.

Reagan was almost killed by a .22 short.
