The most full-proof solution to the rimfire priming issue is a DA revolver. If it doesn't go bang, just pull the trigger again. But I agree...if somebody could come out with rimfire priming QC that's as reliable as center-fire, that would be the one to go with.

With centerfire, sure, done it many times, but I've never been able to re-strike a 22lr in the same place and get it to fire.

With a revolver another trigger pull takes you to another cylinder and another cartridge right ?

I was wondering why the raccoons in the 'hood have been acting so nervous of late...

Exactly

That’s not generally true. Some .22 LR guns are superbly reliable. And some .25 ACP guns are unreliable.

It’s common knowledge that the Mossad has used .22 LR guns for business purposes. I’ve never read that they used .25 ACP guns.

Leaping out of a vehicle parked near a hangar, two terrorists opened fire with AK-47 assault rifles,[3][4] and another two tossed incendiary grenades as well as dynamite that failed to explode. The cockpit and fuselage were hit, seriously wounding several people including co-pilot Yoram Peres, who died of his wounds a month later. The plane's security guard Mordechai Rahamim, a twenty two year old former soldier in the Israeli elite special forces unit Sayeret Matkal,[5] ran to the cockpit and fired at the attackers from the window with his Beretta .22 pistol,[3][4] and then jumped out of the plane through the rear emergency slide door and continued the shootout with the attackers. During the shootout, Rahamim killed the squad leader, and the battle eventually ended when the Swiss security forces arrived at the scene.

quote:

"We purposely armed ourselves with handguns, because if we had tried to bring large rifles onto the plane, the terrorists would notice them under our coveralls. In addition, handguns are far more accurate and efficient in a situation involving hostages. It makes all the difference between completing a mission with almost zero casualties and sustaining multiple casualties. Even though the Beretta has relatively small bullets, it can be rather accurate and kill even from a distance of 50 meters."

"Suddenly I ran out of bullets. Like we did in the drill, I clung to the left wall, reloaded, and came running back toward the terrorist who fired at me. Danny Brunner was behind me, but he later told me that I reloaded so fast that he didn't have time to take my spot. Luckily for me, the terrorist also had to reload. He ducked into a lavatory for cover. I opened the door and fired in. He was killed and he fell out."
