Product details

The .22 Long Rifle (also known as 5.7×17mmR) cartridge is the oldest firearm cartridge still in common use. The “.22 LR” is so old that the cartridge’s date of invention is nearer to the Declaration of Independence than the present day. Despite the diminutive bullet’s age, it is still the most popular sub-.223 round in America by a wide margin, and the fifth most popular caliber overall, with more than a hundred thousand .22 LR rifles and pistols chambered sold every year.

Invented in 1878 by the J. Stevens Arm & Tool Company, the .22 LR is an excellent training round for introducing people, particularly young people, to the world of firearms. It is the round of the Boy Scouts, JROTC cadets and fathers taking their kids shooting for the very first time. It has very little recoil, and is very inexpensive to shoot.

While the .22 LR round is still useful for training purposes, it also has a practical application. Despite its small size, it still packs an average energy of ninety-nine foot-pounds with a velocity of 1,060 feet per second, useful for a variety of small game or vermin. The ammunition is small and compact, and a shooter can comfortably carry hundreds of rounds. While there are obviously better calibers for self-defense and combat shooting, a .22 LR will still cause considerable trauma. Israeli hit teams, including those set out to avenge the massacre of 1972 Israeli Olympic Team at Munich, used Beretta 71 pistols to assassinate terrorists.
