The CCI Stinger is a vicious little round.
A new one. tnoutdoors9 does a follow up.
One of our (lost in a boating accident/ loaned to a vagrant relative) pistols is the SIG Mosquito which fires this round quite well.
over 1500 FPS out of the barrel, and great expansion/ wound cavity results.
Quite the loud POP when you fire it, but nuthin’ in recoil.
Video is clear that Stingers are not for handguns.
it was developed as a varmint round out of rifles.
a .22 pistol with anything in it will not stop a bath salts crazed attacker.
Does the CCI Stinger work in any .22 LR (I have an old Remington rifle among many others)?
I got Mrs. Slim a S&W 351 PD, an 11 oz. J-frame 7 shot .22 magnum. Hornady CD ammo clock out at 1000 fps with good expansion and 90% weight retention.
Plus, if it doesn’t stop the guy, he’ll be deaf and on fire.
Any gun beats no gun in every test...
tnoutdoors9 has great videos. I am subscribed to his channel.
If you want to know what kind of ammo will devastate jello according to the FBI protocols, he da man.
My favorite is the vid of Winchester Ranger .45ACP “T” ammo. That “T” means “Talon”. They have re-marketed the infamous Black Talon round with a much more innocuous name. It works just like the original and it is devastating. Just don’t tell the libtard hoplophobes or they’ll get their panties in a wad...
If you take a little notch out of the tip of each .22 the bullet will tumble and that makes it devastating at close range. Or should I say at the range you’d normally use a pistol.
In regards to terminal ballistics, it was a predictable no-go.
There was both a very effective team of Mafia killers in the 1970s, who were known as the “.22 caliber hitters”. They were believed responsible for some 20 killings since 1976, and were never arrested for those crimes.
Likewise, Joseph Christopher, a psychotic racist and serial killer, was known as the “.22 caliber killer”, and over the course of a single year, he was believed to have killed at least twelve, and wounded numerous others. He was a US Army infantry private at the time.
Yes, it is not a big round.
Although they have gotten better, rim fires still aren’t as reliable as center fire. At least in my experience.
I am using Yellow Jackets because there are no Stingers to be found anywhere. I managed to squirrel away 200 before the big .22lr shortage. They give significantly more pucker factor than the regular American Eagle round nose lead bullets I practice with.
All I need to know is, will it penetrate a blue helmet?
