Subsonic ammo is not intended cycle semi-automatic firearms. If 4 out of 5 rounds out of your Rugers successfully cycled them (and they were still subsonic), then it's outstanding ammo!

The drought has actually been longer.Only if there are enough boollits! Otherwise they are just metal sticks.
Between January 2013 and just now, 22LR has been the single hardest common ammo to find. And the most insanely overpriced. It's just now starting to show up in quality and quantity. The awful Automatch stuff started showing up in bulk last year, now the good quality Aguila, Winchester, and CCI is showing up in bulk again online. But still not at the local Wally-world yet.
Moral of the story: Buy 22LR cheap, stack 22LR deep!
I've had no problem for the last five years.
You just had to know when and where to look.
Price: $.07 a round for brass and copper plated HP.
Referring back to Jim's video, I just looked at my Remington Goldens: 1010 fps @100 yrds.
My Winchesters are rated the same (1280 fps) as the Goldens at the muzzle.
When I say, "It will be fought with billions of 22LR. The ones that are already out there."...
I'm talking about the boolits, not the pipes. They're out here. We've got em.
I'll +1 on the subsonic. They're meant for a manual action. There's not enough back pressure for autos.
I've got the old Glenfield Model 25 bolt I had as a kid and a beautiful Marlin 795.
But in PA, I can't hunt anything with a semi-auto rifle.

Hey, JEBar. The below link is straight across I-44 from Jay Henges. They're rarely open to the public, but once in a while they'll have an open-house. I might have to swing by and see the little cutie if they do.

Oh yeah. It's gun related...kind of. Jay Henges is where Jim and I shoot trap when he swings by MO.

Average self defense encounter is 3, 3, 3: 3 shots, 3 seconds, 3 ft.Prefer 22 mag
It confuses people when you expend 15 rounds from a pistol and still have 16 more behind it.
and the report is somewhere between a 9mm and a 40
I like to add psychological warfare to any encounter

"Do travel", Indeed!
Curious to hear your assessment of the shotgun mods you had done!

Looking forward to it! Did you also have the mercury counterweight installed in the stock...for real this time?
