The rugged build and robust design synonymous with Ruger truly shine in this latest addition

The .22 Hornet is very popular in Germany in drillings a .22 Hornet a 12g and a full caliber for capital game.

Wow, the things we could do with the 22 hornet now days. I think its a great round to bring back!

.22 Hornet was always cheep in the 70s and 80s it was in all the gun shops

That's some serious velocity! Looks like there was room for at least a 9 or possibly 10 shot cylinder. Ammo price and availability are a big problem with the 22 Hornet

You forgot to mention the most important part of reloading .22hornet, .22K-hornet. Now THAT would be a sweet revolver.

Looks like the old hornet is on the come back trail

Ruger & PSA doing the lords work

One of the reasons I enjoy reloading. In the middle of the plandemic I finished my AR build in 300 blackout. My manager scoffed and said good luck finding ammo. I laughed back at him and told him that I reload and keep other people's brass. I had quite a bit of 223 brass saved up to convert. Most calibers will be difficult to truly kill as long as there's reloaders around.

They really should have made a Blackhawk version. I would buy one.

The speed of that bullet is so sweet!!

It's interesting what's old is new. Reminds me of the S&W 22 Jet from the early 1960's without the case extraction issues. Looks like a fun revolver.

I had an uncle that hunted groundhogs on farms around his area and I think he used a rifle in .22 Hornet. Thanks for sharing and have a great day! 🙏🏼

Very neat, but I absolutely don’t understand why they won’t make a 10 Shot Revolver in 327 Federal Magnum

I had a Thompson Center Contender in .22 K Hornet with 10 1/2" bull barrel, topped with a 1 1/2 X scope. It was awesome and freakishly accurate. I still kick myself in the butt for ever letting it go.

I really miss my 22 Hornet. It was super accurate at 100 yards. It was a rifle.

I'll order one today! I always regretted not getting a Taurus Raging Hornet. I comforted myself by reminding myself that it was a Taurus. Now... all excuses gone!

That Revolver Looks Pretty Awesome!!!!!! I hope One Day Ruger Makes an 8 Shot 357 Magnum Super Redhawk in both 7.5 and 9.5 inch Versions.

I can’t imagine how crazy loud that thing is.

I’ve got the old Taurus Raging Hornet 10.5” barrel 22 Hornet I’ve had it for 15 yrs or so . Lotsa fun

I hope the ammo gets cheaper

Love me some 22Mag revolvers, and boy this is a step or two up from that. Love my 4" 8 shot 22Mag with adjustable sights. Great light walk-around gun.

$1500 for a plinker? A bit rich for my blood. Looks nice though. Good paperweight.

Interesting caliber choice for the SRH revolver. Given the ammo availability, I think I will have to pass on it, but it does look like fun. Great review.

I have a 22 Hornet rifle would love to have one of them Ruger 22 Hornet. Ruger makes an awesome guns

Nice another pistol chambered in 22 hornet!!

About time ! I love the hornet but I haven’t seen ammo in years it’s my favorite rifle cartridge so sad I sold my ruger 77/22h

I live in Northern British Columbia, and haven't had any problems finding Hornaday 35gr Vmax ammo for my 22 hornet. A little pricy at about 40$ CAD for 25 shots, but man is it a sweet shooter.

Still a pretty popular hunting cartridge in some parts of Europe. Right now I'm putting together a single-shot carbine based on an ancient .410 shotgun that had a bent barrel and will be getting some reloading dies for this. There's a shop locally that stocks .22 Hornet but for the price of a box of ammo I can get reloading dies and a small supply of bullets so that's definitely the way to go.

The Manurhin "sniper" version would be a great gun to show on this channel, withthe high power loads it was designed to shoot.

The old black hauk is a clasic and i would love to have one

22 hornet is a neat round!

.22wmr with 30gr bullets usually clock about 2215 fps from a rifle barrel, 1430 fps from a PMR30 barrel. .22 Hornet 35gr bullets clocking 2318 from an 9.5-inch revolver is pretty nice. Although I'll say that SRH revolver is a hunk of metal, especially since they didn't use smaller barstock for the barrel or cylinder.

Been debating on getting one of these honestly.. I'm really intrigued.

My Dad had a .22 magnum Jet. Can't remember if it was a Remington or a S&W. He was a fan of both companies. This delivers about twice the balistics.

4K video! So now we have to watch you in UHD. My eyes can't take it.

Oh If you cast bullets LEE has the C225-55-RF mold that works well in my TC 22 Hornet Contender

It can be reloaded at a fraction of powder usage of other calibers , fast and zippy , probably better for a bolt action , great if you can save your brass in an apocolipse . Im familiar with 22 hornet , great center fire cartridge , can be hard to find , like anthing else buy in bulk .

Beautiful firearm, I'm definitely going to check it out!

First place I looked I found some .22 Hornet ammo. 50 rounds for $56 or $1.12/round. I’ve been wanting a bolt gun in .223 for a long time, but I’ve been looking at other calibers, and the .22 Hornet and .22 TCM are two rounds I’ve been considering. I bought some .223 dies in anticipation for reloading for a bolt gun in .223. Reloading for an AR .223 on a single stage press seems like a waste of time, but for a bolt gun it would be beneficial. I already have the powder and bullets for reloading .223 and have loaded some, but I don't see the benefit for reloading for an AR.

I love the 22 Hornet round … but just like the 327 Magnum it’s hard to find witch I like to have to but AMMUNITION is hard to find now days … 2 great rounds that’s been over looked buy ammunition companies for newer and bigger calibers… wish they where more popular so there would be more availability of both of them .

I remember seeing old single shot Remington Rolling Block pistols converted to 22 Hornet. Another one of those things I should have bought.

That fairly small velocity loss says a lot for the cylinder/barrel tolerances on the Ruger. With handloads and powder more suited to the short barrel you might get over 2500.... pretty good for a pistol. I'd like to see a Redhawk in .22 Remington Jet or 218 Bee.... :)

Looks like fun

Well That would be an awesome pistol to own if they made twenty two hornet more available. Oh and if they worked on the Price. Seventy or eighty dollars a box is absolutely ridiculous.

I wish Ruger would try this on the Super Bkackhawk, perhaps the cylinder isn't big enough for 8 rounds? A mild wildcat of this is the .22 K-Hornet, a simple reaming of the chamber to straighten out the case walls and blow out the shoulder to increase capacity. All you need are loading dies, as firing factory Hornets will blow the shoulders out to the new dementions. Might gain some velocity, for heavier bullets. It gives modest increases in rifle performance, not sure if it would make a difference in a 9 inch revolver....

Henry needs to make a 16" saddle rifle in 22 hornet..it would lend itself well to to a tube magazine fed lever gun.

I do like the 22 hornet. Such a shame owning pistols in the UK is so difficult. Though this revolver, with a wrist brace would make more sense than many of the daft offerings we see here.

Like a ,5.7mm velocity.yes .

i was really surprised to see ruger come out with this thing, but now that i have looked at it closer i like the looks of it, the down side is the cost of the super redhawk and the expense of this caliber

Wish they had used the Redhawk frame instead. Never liked the look of the Super Redhawk. Cool round, hope it gets more popular

Would love to see a snub nose version and what kinda velocity you get out of it a 8shot revolver you can edc would be pretty cool

Man, that looks like mad fun.......

Very nice my friend !

Have the chambers reamed out to .22 K Hornet,....and you will probably have a revolver that out performs 5.7 x 28. That little change of shoulder angle on the casing makes a world of difference for powder/propellant efficiency!

a great fantastic very interesting video and revolver.what a beautiful piece.

Beautiful!!

Looks pretty neat but it would be a specialty item for sure.

I want a green one.

I want one. Great varmint round.

I haven’t seen .22 Hornet on the shelf in years and the last time a box of 50 was $50. Fun caliber though.

Fun cartridge. I reload but would like to get my hands on some fresh brass. My old Winchester mod43 makes me feel like I can't miss.

Hopefully this makes the ammo available again

That’s gun weight ! I would rather have that revolver in .327 federal mag ! Great review !

Thanks Bro

It appears there needs to be a revival of the .22 Hornet!! Who knew? I always thought is was basically a center fire .22 Magnum. It is much, much more than that. A compact little cartridge with such a punch! A light weight rifle in this caliber would be a good survival gun.

Sure wish this was a Super Blackhawk! Don't think I would ever shoot in DA. Intersting gun none the less.

I don't actually need it, but I want one of these. It's a shame it's so expensive. The only bad thing about the Super Redhawk is the weight. If you want to wear one in a holster, you'd have to buy two and wear one on each side. If not, you'll walk around in a circle from the weight making you lean over all the time.😆 Great review and that was some pretty good shooting also.

I'm gonna get this someday

Cool pistol. I'll never own one, out of sheer ammo scarcity (coming from a 5.7x28 owner, that's a stiff shot)... but it's definitely cool. I'm still impressed at only 20% loss of from a barrel that's less than half the length of rifle-rated muzzle velocity.

Greetings from one of the homes of Ruger in Prescott, AZ. This is an iconic western centerfire caliber for medium-small game. Though has been noted to take Zebras, Wart Hogs, and small plains game in Africa. This is my go to for hunting predators as Yote’s, Bobcats, and especially Javelinas aka collard Peccary. Its one caliber that is very, very inexpensive round to reload. With one pound of powder you can load approximately 700 rounds. Whats not cheap now-a-days or have to deal with BS supply chain issues or bullet mfgs only doing limited production runs due to being a “not so popular round” and focus on producing common field carry calibers due to our volatile political climate. Which I totally understand….Hence , why Its good to reload and stay ahead of the political BS. On a another note, When you do get your hands on ammo or reloading supplies its a fun caliber to shoot!! I reload and use ‘Lil Gun 11.0gr or IMR 4227 10.3gr on a 45 gr projectile which my Ruger M77 ALL WEATHER loves…Deadly Accurate Tack Driver out to 200yds. GOD BLESS AMERICA-VOTE TRUMP 2024!!

The ammo is kind of scarce I was going to buy a Taurus raging Bull years ago in 22 hornet but at that time buying ammo online wasn't common for me at least

Nice I would like to have one finding ammo will be fun I have a Ruger Blackhawk in 30 carbine it's a blast to shoot finding ammo in 30 carbine is hard to find a expensive

One in 17 hornet would have my attention.

Yep to spendy for me

I would rather have an 8rd 357 magnum Super Redhawk with a scope.

Cool little "big" gun. That is a Fast little round)

Good luck on finding ammo!!

Bet you could hit the dot of the i on a can of Budweiser with that.

221 fire ball check that one out

i've been really interested in a 22 hornet loaded with 77 grain on a 1-7 twist barrel subsonic, i know id have to rebarrel anything to have that but 22 hornet rifles are so rare and only one custom action exists that accepts it

i love that round, definitely in my top 5, especially the K hornet, but the brass is weak and the capacity is small so reloading requires extra care. I would say that handloading for it needs more experience and attention than any other round that i know of. I hope That it makes a comeback, maybe brass wont be so rare then. And i don't get why they don't produce more, the second brass is back in stock, its out of stock the same day.

Wont be many calibers having a 100th birthday. Go on Hornet.❤

This is fantastic! Maybe we will see more old timey rounds dragged out of the dustbins of history.Just imagine FINALLY getting the Super Redhawk in that round we have all been waiting for: 32-20 WCF. Who knows, maybe they will modify the gun a tad and resuscitate a few pinfire calibers. I'm sure there are as many people longing for that as there were those aching for a 22 Hornet version. Yet, they can't begin to keep up with demand for useful guns people actually want.

You should compare ballistics between this and a 5.56 out of a short 7.5 inch..

Great idea. Ammo hard to get and expensive.

Wisconsin cartridge company has 22 hornet in stock.

Oh how I want one

2850 fps with 40 grain vmax is the go to load

looks nice but remember taurus had one but it faded into sunset only time will tell if it servives

Nice!

If your hand loading anyway think how fun be to chamber few to 22 K hornet and see how much velocity gain and any extent of brass life gained by converting to K

Now chamber it in 218 bee and 30 carbine and we got the 2000s Taurus revolver lineup all over again.

Since you did a Ruger chambered in 22 Hornet, you should find a S&W model 53 chambered in 22Jet. }

I figured the report would be substantial. My neighbor used to own a Smith & Wesson revolver in 22 Jet. Wow, was it ever loud!

The wife and I switched to half caffeine coffee. I can still drink 4 cups and it's like 2.

SG ammo shows 22hornet in stock as of 21:00 on 2/5/24

Bi pod shooting sticks Waistline mounted,

I just checked, sgammo has some 45gr 22 hornet in stock by ppu. $56 a box

The ammo would be almost impossible to stock up on, I’m a big .22 mag fan have at least 5 firearms chambered in it and the ammo is out there all over the place. I don’t have much use for the LR.
