At best, it a conversation piece.If it were all that great everybody would be making and using them.
If survival to you means putting meat on the table,then a .22 should do.
If survival to you means stopping a two legged critter, then its hard to beat a .45 auto.
My suggestion would be to try before you buy...

I agree. Just recently a buddy of mine bought one. He took it to the lake a few weekends ago. No problems shooting the 410, but whenever the .45 longs were shot the firing pin would stay forward and not allow the cylinder to rotate. Every time. Not operator error or ammo problems. It was put in the shop, but I don't know the outcome as my friend is on vacation right now.
Definately a conversation piece. For the price I'd just get something else....

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

Thanks Deal, I noticed they didn't show any video of the gun shooting .45 ammo . I was wondering why. |

I put a bull barrel and target trigger on one of my 10-22's and it is as accurate as the Anschutz I fired on my college rifle team. 5 rounds, 1 hole at 50 yds.
The .22 is very versatile and a rifle would be a great companion to your handgun.
It's by far the best gun to break any kid into the sport.

I'd already come to the conclusion this guy makes, that .22 isn't really a good load for self-defense, but figuring that I can get 500 rounds of .22 for the price of 100 rounds of 9mm, I can just keep on shooting the .22 and not worry about using up my arsenal.
This video is also really good: You must be logged in to see this link.
This guy calls the CCI Mini-Mag the "Rolls Royce" of .22. His second-fave is the Winchester High-Velocity Super X. #3 on his list is the Remington Viper, #4 is the Winchester Power Point. He recommends avoiding Remington Thunderbolt (he says these are cheap for a reason) and Winchester Wildcat and Federal Bulk (which he points out is not copper-plated).
im pretty sure those federal bulk ones are copper plated...im sure ive got some laying around someplace i could find to check... |
