I saw that video yesterday and that was first time I have heard about it. Might be great for small game hunting but for self defense I would stick with
38 Special for low recoil.

I saw something about it yesterday also. It has some pretty big claims.

Re: CCI 22lr Uppercut ammo??
Watched that video yesterday as well. 22 Plinkster is one of very few firearm and ammunition reviewers that I put some trust in.
I may pick some of this up for my wife to have something better than a heavy pocketbook for self defense. She can rack my Ruger SR22 but my other semiauto pistols don’t work for her. She doesn’t handle recoil well at all. She is petite and just doesn’t have the hand strength required.
Most of the time we are out and about together so basically she would be my back up gun. I would feel better with her carrying a gun with this ammunition than swinging a pocketbook at the bad guy.
I also like the suggestion from 22plinkster to load the Federal Punch ammo alternated with the uppercut.

Re: CCI 22lr Uppercut ammo??
Now that is truly interesting, not to mention very impressive. A plated 22 LR bullet is a great tech achievement. No, I won't be using these for self-defense because I don't even have a semi-auto 22, right now. I do think, however, that this new Uppercut ammo will become very useful out of a rifle and maybe give the 22 mag some competition on animals a bit too big for regular 22 LR ammo. Curious to hear how it works for hunting out of a rifle.

Interested but not finding any in stock even at CCI. Ranging in price from $12.99 - $16 per box of 50 plus shipping of course. I will check locally but ain't holding my breath.

Been following the YouTube vids on the new Uppercut. Not very impressed. Pretty anemic.

Ya, kinda corny but informative. Definitely not for short barreled 22s. Which is also what Plinkster had to say (4:00 min mark).North Country Gal wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2024 8:39 pmThis guy is kind of corny, but here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuGxoL96eqE
The Uppercut in Plinkster's video showed better in the longer barreled 22s.

I happened to be at the gun store today and they had a Ruger LCP II in .22. I thought of buying it, but when I checked the .22 ammo shelf no Uppercut (or Punch) to test with. So I didn't bite. Glad I didn't after seeing the corny video. Thanks for sharing it.
