22 short - what do you guys shoot it with?

[Michigander08]

I can only think of 22lr revolver or bolt rifle? It isn't enough power to recycle semi-auto.

The Henry levers and pump will shoot them also.

I use it in an old marlin pump.

My Henry golden boy eats them up.

Remington tube fed pump, holds more ammo with shorts.

You can buy a kit from Volquartsen that allows you to shoot them in a 10-22. It uses as special magazine with a brass insert to allow use by .22 shorts.

22 Short is a popular Derringer caliber

Marlin 39a myself. A friend set up a 10/22 for 22 short but never heard if it worked.

High Standard Model C pistol. Beretta 950 pistol.

My family shoots a ton of .22 short in bolt rifles and a revolver.

Savage Rascal
CZ-455
Ruger Wrangler

It's great for close range, low noise, low penetration target shooting.

I shot 22 shorts from my Henry Pump just to see how many it would hold (now I forget).
Its interesting cause without thinking about it, I thought they were not going to be as loud. They were not. I forgot the brand (aguila? but these were something above 1000fps when I looked afterwards at the box)
Back this fall when I had my hunting setback (now gone) I Shot a squirrel in a single shot bolt rifle with a 22 short then a 22 quiet. Short was noticeably louder. 22 quiet sounded like I dropped a 2x4 on the ground.

CCI quiet is only 740ish fps. Aguila 22 short is 1,095 fps.

Out of my Marlin 39A the noise level is comparable to an air rifle. I could hear the hammer fall.

.22 short was the original rimfire cartridge, used in the "pitiful little Smith and Wessen seven shooter, which carried a ball like a homeopathic pill, and it took all seven to make a dose for an adult," as Mark Twain described the one he carried in 1861 in Roughing It.

I shoot them out of my Remington 514, but that rifle will shoot anything .22 caliber.

CCI quiet is only 740ish fps. Aguila 22 short is 1,095 fps.

Short is a 29 grain bullet.

Quiet is 40 grains.

Walther made some rapid fire olympic style precision pistols that took .22 short only.

Ditto. My oldest daughter loves the Remington. Only gripe is it takes longer to drop them in than to shoot them.

Marlin 39A does ok with them. Holds a bunch of them too.

I'll bet if Jerry Miculek shoots it, it will sound like a lever action machine gun.
