I bought this gun 2 years ago for my daughter when she was 12. She wanted to shoot but the 9mm recoil scared her. She loves shooting now. And she say dad can we go to the range this weekend. Family 👪 bonding time. Its a good firearm.

"Aww shut up peter" best words in the whole video.

I've had the SR22 handgun for 2 years and never had a single problem. Its an excellent warm up handgun and a great tool to teach new shooters...

With the cost of ammo these days, I limit the use of my defensive handguns at the range. That’s when I break out my SR-22 for some fun and cheap shooting. The SR-22 has been a reliable and fun gun to own.

This was my first semi auto pistol, still love it and shoot it a ton

I used to own a Mark 4 and currently have a 10/22. Love both. Ruger makes great guns.

My buddy actually had to use his to defend himself. At a gun range. It worked. Do not underestimate a 22.

Love mine. Suppressed it is a blast. Glad I bought 22 ammo by the case and got it while the getting was good

This channel turned me from pro 2a to an ammosexual.

I got one of these a month after they hit the market...i have had ZERO issues with it other than occassional human error. Solid little gun and with good ammo it's super reliable. No kick and you can pop off 10 in a row center of mass with out even flinching...GREAT gun. Great video Colion, love it!

Love mine. I started my daughter and wife with it and it was an easy transition for them to larger calibers from there. It is still a fun handgun to fire.

Ive owned one for years and have had success with 15rd mag extensions too

Been shooting this pistol for years, best 22 pistol I’ve ever owned.

You’ve been doing excellent work man and it does not go under appreciated Keep it up brotha! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I’ve had this pistol since it first came out and I absolutely love it. It eats everything I’ve fed it suppressed or unsuppressed. It’s compact, handy and accurate. I’m just a little amazed that there’s nearly no aftermarket for it, it’s a helluva lot better than the G44 and is arguably more practical than the Ruger MkIV.

I have that gun. It's so reliable with quality bulk pack ammo!

I bought one about two weeks ago and I love it! Worked great right out of the box. I got it to carry when I just have shorts and a tee shirt on during the summer. It is light and easy to conceal, just leave the safety off and the hammer forward.

*This was my first 22LR, and still one of my favorites.*

I've had my SR22 since they first came out, it still has "SR22 Pistol" marked on it instead of simply "SR22". It's seen many thousands of rounds and has introduced a half dozen people to the joys of shooting. If I could change anything on the pistol I'd add an ambi slide release and either flip the safety the right way or just make it a spring-loaded decocker. Either way I personally use it only as a decocker, as double actions really don't need a safety, and my personal example isn't a daily carry and thus isn't kept loaded while away from the field or range.

I bought the full size M&P .22 for purely practical purposes. It seemed like a better home defense gun after I moved into an apartment with thin walls. I brought it home and very unenthusiasticly said, yay I own a 22 but it's quickly become one of my favorites. I even carry it sometimes as a self defense gun depending on where I am

Thank you for using a Rooster when you said "decock"!😨 Thanks for the vid brother. Be safe!🇺🇲👍🇺🇲✌️🇺🇲

I showed my wife your grip! I said see where his thumbs are, that's what you need to remember! She is a work in progress 😁 Thanks 👍 Thanks also for your hard work for us! 👍👍

I bought the SR22 years ago when it first came out. It was inexpensive, could shoot with it forever at the range with cheap ammo, and it fit great on my hands for such a "cute" gun. The accessories that came with it to make the handle wonder and an extender so I have somewhere to put my pinky, makes the gun so comfortable. I have fat short fingers and a big hand so comfort is important. Love this gun.

We like to go "plinking" with our 22s. Fun and cheaper than other calibers.

Sr22 was my first handgun4 years ago got me into guns your gone to love it man

Absolutely love my SR22! Had it for about 8yrs now, and is one of my go-to trainers. Fun for me, awesome for safety training!

Mark IV current i have the target version with engraved grip panels , my EDC is a Walter P 22. Modern Ammo makes pocket pistol true pocket pistols, hats off to you Colion for informative common sense reviews and your defense of the 2A

Keep it up colion Noir I watch everything that you post thanks for the gun knowledge

“The ergonomics are just so good” -Colion noir “The safety is upside down”-also Colion noir

That's my moms gun. Suppressor and all. Different suppressor but still. Kinda cool to see. Make sure you stack casing rims in FRONT of each other, just like shotgun bags.

3:03 The Spider on your head spitting out that Web 😂

When I tried to get my wife interested in guns I got an SR22 over a Mark IV since its controls are more like other semiauto handguns than the 22LR target pistols. She agreed that it made for a great trainer.

I have had my SR22 for about 5 years and I love it. I shot a handful of different 22 pistols before purchasing this one. It ain’t large, but not too small either. The ambidextrous controls have been great since I am a righty and my son is a south paw. It was great to have a good reliable handgun to teach him safety, stance and operation. Just got my first 22 suppressor a couple weeks ago and it makes this gun even more fun.

I like the short "no fluff" 1st Mag, sneak peek quick video format!! Inspired to look at this PPD(personal protection device)...Great share...."awe shut up Peter..."

Love mine with the Ruger can. Sweet little setup.

Love this gun. First .22 handgun and my kids have been shooting it since the youngest was 10 years old.

Have been trying to find my wife a hand gun. Tried a 9mm, 380lcp, 38, and more. She had trouble with all of them. I was at a auction and was able to buy a sr22 ruger. She had no problem without. Nice gun and glad to see a good review.

This was my first gun I bought and it is so much fun!

I love my SR22 with Q el Camino can. Such a blast to shoot and is my go to gun for teaching new shooters.

I picked up an SR22 since they just came on the market in CA a few months ago. I love this gun so much. It's really fun to shoot, fits great in my hand with the extended mag plate, and it's very accurate. I have tried it with CCI Stinger/AR, Federal punch, and Aguila bulk pack so far and it hasn't had a single issue (500ish rounds so far).

Few people remember the 22lr was the gun of choice by the old crew hit men of the mafia. It was a lot quieter and since they normally did head shots, and close up, it handled the job well.

You really dig that 22 don't you? So do I! lol. I want one.

Had mine about 10 years or so I still love it today and everyone that shoots it just loves it too.

My wife and I use this AWESOME little pea shooter as our EDC. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GUN

I can totally see myself riding the safety and engaging it on accident. As I'd likely not be using it for self defense it's probably not a big deal, but still.

My SR22 with the AAC halcyon is my fav gun to take out. Everytime I take it out to the local pit, its a crowd favorite. Made me love .22lr's again.

Great little pistol. Have the 4.5" one.

Love your reviews..... You are one of my go to's for this and many things. I've had an SR 22 for a few years. Wanted to add a decent semi .22 to the mix. Plinker, rabbit hunting, varmints, teaching tool..... I do have some good shooting experience, but really hadn't done much with the SR22 since getting it besides running it a bit to make sure operation was good, and making sure it was sighted in. Recently I went to a local range for an informal social .22 pistol competition evening. (although it was scored through some organization and data based). I could not have been happier with it's performance. It was my first ever "competition" of sorts and surprisingly to me, came in 4th of 10-15 in the stock pistol category. My observations: Many other types/brands of .22's on hand to watch operate. From "race" .22's to bone stockers, to old Mark 4's to modern Glock .22's. All seemed to be as accurate as the shooter and their skills. My SR22.....not one malfunction. And I was shooting up a mix of old stuff to "get rid of". Probably not a good tactic for a competition, but I was there mainly for the social aspect and to learn the ropes for these events. I was surprised at malfunctions of more expensive pistols. I saw a Mark 4 having some ammo finicky issues. On the right diet no issues. Both Glock .22's had occasional malfunctions of failure to eject and or stove pipe which was surprising to me being a Glock guy. Their accuracy was spot on, but those malf's slowed them down. One of the fully tricked out pistols ( I don't even know what it was all weighted and balance) had a hiccup or two as well. Not putting down any of the aforementioned pistols, as we know some need break in or dialing on on the shooters part, but the bone stock SR22 (with threaded barrel & protective bushing) ate everything I fed it, not one hiccup, and shot on target with that variety of ammo (lead & jacketed, and some 25-30 years old). It for sure is a fun plinker, trainer, stock competition, and future rabbit pistol. And if everything goes to poop.....viable self defense, albeit lower in the caliber algorithm. Bottom Line.....literally here..... I love mine and I think it is a great .22 semi-auto and value.

Nice video love my SR-22 had it for about 6 years

This was the first pistol I bought. Years ago. I love this gun.

I bought mine when they first came out. I agree 100% ergo is amazing. I take it to the range everytime I go. Amazing gun the SR22. Have a great week.Go Ruger.

Been wanting to try this gun, now I just need to buy one, great video.

Man I love the knowledge that you put out in your videos.

The safety/decocker actually works the same as some others like many versions of.the Beratta92 and the Baby Desert Eagle III. This is a good companion gun and trainer for many users.

LOVE your videos 2nd Amendment and gun reviews, especially the tactical training ( living vicariously through you).

I was fortunate enough to hold that same firearm at a gun show in Florida in May. I was able to get a full grip on it and it was quite comfortable. My only issue is that its a .22. Awesome firearm to own still 👍🏽

Love the SR22. Glad to see Colion do a first mag with it.

I had wanted to pick up an M&P22 back when there was a surplus and they were cheap. Now you can’t find one. This video came in at the right time this afternoon to really peak my attention. The safety configuration looks like it will take a bit to get used to, but looked like this one worked for you.

SR22 has become my favorite over my other 22s. Good video.

Love my SR22, very carry-able and accurate.

Thanks for the review. Always classy. Got one. Love it.

Keep up the good work. You are appreciated.

Best way I remember the safety for this gun is “red you’re dead”

Thank you sir.. You are my favorite gun owner channel. period.

Thank you for this great informative video! 😀 I must say, you remind me of Eddie Murphy in "Harlem Nights", when he was saying how cute Jasmine Guy's gun was. Lololol 😄

Excellent job! Love my SR22 and because of the ergonomics it is very comforable gun in my hands.

Bought one of those a year ago fantastic little Plinkster

My first pistol years was a Ruger MK III. More recently, I picked up an SR9 as my first "concealed" carry pistol and also managed to find a MK III for a really good price.

Thanks Colin for all You do to protect our rights!

I picked up one about 4 years ago. For introducing new shooters to handgun use it is perfect! Now the only issue is finding enough .22LR to feed it.😉

Thanks again, Colion!

Thanks for the review since I just bought one.

Had 1 for years. Love it! It doesn't matter how dirty it is, or what kind of ammo is used. It shoots well every time. Easy disassembly & reassembly. My p22 jammed when dirty & was difficult to assemble because of the guide spring. SR22 is much better

Had mine for 5 years smooth as Ice and wonderfully easy to keep clean and awesome for teaching kids! And if some one broke into your home they would not know that it was 22 might be enough to make them think twice of course I prefer 9-10 mm myself but wife not really down with that recoil

Just put half down on one of these for my wife. Thank you for this video it helped seal the deal.

Thanks - great review

You are a good man. Keep up the good knowledge.

Nice. Tough to find one that works properly!!

Bought one years ago, love it…my wife is trying to make it her own!

I bought mine about 3 years ago in the green color. I call it my fun gun. It’s so fun to shoot

I have 3 of both (Smith and Wesson 22) of them… I trained thousands of folks with them and super slight advantage of my students with the Ruger… I’m a fan.

I've had mine for about 8 years now. Can't say enough good things about this pistol. Eats ALL ammo, reliable, accurate, and very light. I've got the two tone version with a stainless bull type barrel, only draw back with my model is that it doesn't have a threaded barrel for suppressors. As for the saftey, I never use it. With the long trigger pull, I just leave it hot with hammer down. I also never use the decocker. I manually drop the hammer by holding it with my thumb and pulling the trigger(always in a safe direction kids).my only failure was when a grain of sand got under the extractor, causing it to fail to extract. Easy fix, probably shouldn't have been digging holes while it was on me.lol. I have shot the suppressed version with a larger can, very quiet. I have a lot of semi auto 22lr, this is my favorite.

man thanks for video uploads

Peter just stay on his damn left side😂😂😂

Don’t like that inversion safety but it looks like a fun range pistol

The SR22 is one of my favorites to shoot. It always comes to the range with me

This was my first firearm purchase. It's a great little gun!

I love mine. Just put a optics plate on her and a red dot. So much fun. Just a cheap utg and it's been working great for me. Very accurate. And runs all kinds of ammo. After replacing guide rod to stainless steel.

I’ve owned both models. Loved the long slide version.

I shot one for the first time last year. Really dug it! I still prefer the tx-22 but can't go wrong with the Ruger.

Great looking gun. I've had a Browning Buckmark for 35 years. Wanted something different so I picked up a FN 502 last week. May have to lookat that too.

Great video bro. We have several of these for practice since they are so close in size and feel as our Ruger Security 9 and Max 9. Way cheaper to train with these and very consistent firing pistol.

Great video, seem like the safety/decocker is set up similar to a Beretta 92.

Man listen... I bought one of those for my wife and I have a decent amount of fun shooting it suppressed!

Thank You 👍👍!!

I have the Ruger SR/22 and was able to take my CPL class with it LOL awesome gun.

Bought this gun as a trainer for my carry pistol. Absolutely amazing little gun.

love my ruger SR22 amazing gun ..

that does look like a fun gun to use. I also have never seen a gun range like that one! thats so cool!

I love that little suppressor.
