How Important is Shot Placement With 22lr? 

His persistent skills are a testimony to the advice to train a lot as the muscle memory persists even in sub optimal conditions.

Paul: “That’s a flyer. That’s just me.” Me: “I just got a Paul Harrell flyer. Man, I’m making some vast improvements.”

I'm a pretty decent marksman but I strive to be "average" like Paul one day.

@@JointerMark Correct, he shoots and reloads better than the vast majority of shooters in large part because he shoots and reloads far more often than the vast majority of people. Watching shooters on youtube won't make you a better shooter to the degree that going and actually shooting will, just like watching youtube vids of people working out won't get you in better shape.

Nothing can beat a prodigy and decades of muscle memory. Except a couple things. Glad those arent on the table. Things could be so much better but alas, always could be so much worse.

And no gunfire in the background!

:)

They're all paying respect with their absence.

Summer exists in the PNW. It's not very long, but it is very dry.

It feels strange him emptying a magazine to a locked open slide without it being for demonstration purposes only.

Mine too.

Yep ill be honest..😢 i had a tear of Joy for Paul... 🙏

Paul strikes me as the type that recovers by doing something. Like making good gun videos. But i´m on the same page as you, i want to see him get better as fast and as good as possible.

​@@thomasorchard he has cancer

Amen amen amen 🙏

AMEN

Couldn’t agree more!

Yeah. Almost seems like it must have been recorded awhile ago. Hopefully I am wrong!

@@themalacast Leaves are very green - bright ass sunshine, looks a whole lot like summer to me.

He really is..😂😂😂

Well he is a magnificent specimen of a man so... 😜

@rigel2112has to be this year because Paul wasn’t on his crutch at this time last year

This!

Yes sir

Every new video with Paul is a gift from above...

Yep! 👍

Me too! Great seeing Paul and Roy together

💯

I haven't seen his videos in a while, what happened with his health?

Research all you can about the different food you consume. Canada loves karbohydaraits

We are known by the company we keep I have always maintained and will continue to the grave that the second amendment community are some of the finest, most upstanding men and women in this country. I couldn’t agree with you more. You are amongst friends with Paul and his giant crew.

The viewers of this channel are a truly inspirational group of people.

I think it was that video that brought me into the Paul Harrell loop as well!

That's the first video I got recommended but I thought it was going to be some wannabe expert talking about how everyone who disagrees with him has no idea haha Then I watched one of his police shooting analysis videos, got the fake expert video recommended and thought maybe he does know what he is talking about

I was curious about the .40 S&W when I came across Paul's channel. I watched a .40 comparison when I saw the how to spot a fake. One led to another and I have been a huge fan since. I have my kids watch some as well especially the holiday specials. A positive manly role model for sure. I think of him as a super cool uncle on my moms side.

@@kypparmstrong2775 Me too! I searched for fake experts on RU-vid and found Paul's video.

I have big emotions right now

Yup... ^THIS^ 💪🥲

until we get into artillery, shot placement is important.

See also .22 Rifles for home Defense?

Admittedly, I haven’t watched the video but I will. Having said that, I thought shot placement was always important.

The problem however is that you need to think. It's all risk vs reward. If space or weight is a concern, AND you need to plan on extended time, AND you are reasonably healthy. .22lr is a good balance, for the "go bag". Firstly you already have your EDC, with your normal carry ammunition. So the .22lr just needs to be better than nothing/being out of ammo, or fill a different role. My target .22lr pistol is much more accurate in my hands than my .45 EDC. The target pistol and 100 rounds puts small game back on the menu, while weighing less than one similarly accurate (in my hands) large caliber pistol with only one magazine. I KNOW that I will need food and water, but I don't know wether or not I will actually be in combat. So a lot of my weight and space is not for firearms. On the other hand if things get bad, any pistol will discourage more fights than no pistol, and it will be much easier to get an officer to turn a blind eye to a .22lr in the bottom of my gym bag than a 9, simply because .22lr pretty clearly states "I am not looking for problems". Odds are that I will need a LEO to say "I don't want to do the paperwork, just don't do it again." More than I will need to survive a zombie apocalypse.

Absolutely hilarious!

That made me lol.

And the shades.

@davidcox3076 True. Didn't even see them because I liked the hat so hard.

I second that from the UK

​@@matthewgubbins8515Me too 💪🇬🇧

Yeah. If the grid goes down a lot of people will find out that they REALLY don't want to get hit by anything, not even a 22.

Good on you looking for viable alternatives for your daughter in law and her particular circumstances. Firearms are truly a great equalizer for self defence.

Yeah, I see people my age complain that “.45ACP has too much recoil” and then you see a guy like Paul who can shoot groups like that even when he’s sick.

G'day, Yes, indeed...! Which is indeed excellent. Almost surprising, from my viewpoint (retired RGN, almost 3 years out from starting 3 months of treatment for "Stage-4" Tonsil Cancer). Any Treatment which wins against Cancer takes a couple of years to "get over", I'm finding... I'm trying right now to damp down a niggling concern that this might be an old Clip (?), which has only now been uploaded... Either the Treatment went Really well, which is my hope ; or this is a bit of old footage... From Oz, I can't tell which is the case... Let's hope for the best. Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao!

​@@WarblesOnALot almost certainly isn't old footage, Paul wasn't in videos a lot when he first got sick but now is in more and more, plus the weather matches up.

@@corvidconfidential8826 G'day, Pharoah enuf then, that's reassuring. I was plotting the datapoints, mentally, from the Video released immediately prior to Paul being admitted to the Hospice - with him wearing that TARDIS of a Shooting Coat of his (in new condition and too big for his weight-loss, from his admitted "Stash" of them acquired over the years...), one Aluminium Crutch for unspecified mobility-issues - but able to raise and point and shoot with his Right Arm/Hand impressively well... Beside how strained, tired, drawn, and tightly-strung he appeared - while affecting a cheerful veneer of bonhomie for the Event ; after having been receiving Treatment for his condition... And, yeah, well, this pops up and he's back in the clean new unmarked & oversized TARDIS Coat, with the same Aluminium Crutch and he's raising & pointing, aiming and firing Handguns as fast and as accurately as ever... I dunno what style of Treatment they're giving him, but I know that 5 months after starting the Regime which worked for me ; the Side-Effects of anything which will beat and kill Stage-4 malignant metastatic Cancer before it kills the patient - left me barely able to potter through the day..., weak, fragile, slow, and visibly struggling to come back to something resembling what Life Used to be like Before being SUCCESSFULLY treated for Pre-terminal Tonsil Cancer... I've never been treated for Pancreatic Cancer, so I dunno from a personal perspective, and it's a long time - 42 years...., since I nursed anyone post-Operatively following a Whipple's Procedure (look that one up...) ; Treatment these days is a very great deal more effective than it was back then. But I would have expected Paul's response to whatever they do these days for Ca. of the Pancreas..., to take longer than this ; for him to be able to have "Bounced back from". Not that surprising the Pundits is anything bad...; I took my Electric Bicycle to the Cancer Institute & racked up 176 Km over 7 weeks of Radiation (Cooking my Head) in a Linear Accelerator 35 times for 2 minutes each, and mainlining a shot of Cytotoxic Poison every Tuesday - so maybe it was riding around the Hospital Carpark which actually effected my cure ? (Jokularis jokulii)... My grimmest issue was that I copped so much Radiation they had to pull all my Fangs out, first ; so there was a month of toothless starvation before the "actual Treatment" began... And right now, 3 years since first becoming toothless, it's only really this past 6 months that I'm starting to feel as if I'm getting the hang of being a Toothless, tasteless, mangy-lookin' Recovering Zombie (!) and enjoying it... But this New existence as a recovering remnant Sure beats pushing up those little Daisies, starting in September 2021 which I was otherwise scheduled to be doing... I suppose it would satisfy the restless enquiring nature of my mind, were Paul in the next Video to pass a comment on something, anything, which has happened since Roy and he made the Video in the Hospice, when a bunch of GunTubers all showed up to wish Paul the best & thank him for everything which he's shared... I dunno, maybe he could tell us if he thinks President Biden should Act on the SCOTUS' latest Immunity Ruling By having the Military immediately Arrest & Incarcerate & Interrogate SCOTUS & all MAGA Congressmen & Senators, As his next Official Presidentially Immune Action...? Now that SCOTUS has Crowned Biden as the currently reigning King of all 'MurriKa(!)... ? That might do it, for my sense of curiosity...; is Paul in favour, or opposed, to the Motion..., with his answer delivered to the Camera personally.... I look forward to watching his Video response... Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

What about ear piercings? 🤔

I disagree somewhat only because .380 ACP pocket pistols are prone to limp wristing. I've owned a number of .380s from S&W, Beretta, Taurus & Glock. If you have to put a heavy grip on a pistol to keep it from limp wristing you're not going to be accurate. The Glock is the only one that didn't have limp wristing issues but I hated the spongey trigger so I got rid of it. I also have an S&W model 43C in .22LR (8 shot revolver) that I prefer to carry over my .380 for a lightweight pocket pistol. I can accurately and quickly put all 8 shots into a head sized target. I'm not recoil sensitive either, I have an M&P 340 in .357 that matches the 43C in size but I'm much faster and more accurate with that little .22 and it's so much cheaper to practice with I shoot it all the time. I carry Federal Punch .22 which meets the FBI penetration standard (12 inches). I personally would never fire a warning shot.

But that bear was also taken by surprise from very close. If it is running at you on open then you might wanna have something bit bigger because body shots will make it just angry. May die later but not before it have totally mauled that shooter.
