First off, need to thank Old Number 7 for introducing me to Standard Manufacturing. He might just cost me a lot of money though some day! While some of you may remember, I have taken an interest in the 22 Mag and awaiting taking my lil' Savage 93 BRJ home after all the stupid PPwork and wait time is over. Meanwhile, while surfing around, I found this at Standard Manufacturing and thought it was an interesting design. The generation 1 is even legal in Commiefornia. 2 barrels a time of 22 Mag is nothing to poke fun at.
The guys over on InRangeTV ran one of those through it's paces and came to conclusion that it was the worst piece of junk that ever hit the market place! The two barrels would not shoot to the same point of aim! I think they crushed it and left it out in the desert of Arizona someplace. The only way it should be used for self defense is as a contact weapon! If you ever encounter one in person, run away just as fast as you can!
Just watched the episode, Gun shoots high and beyond 3 yds the rounds have a tendincy to keyhole!
"The S333 Thunderstruck™ sets the standard for the ultimate in personal protection by simultaneously firing two rounds of .22 Win Mag with each pull of the trigger.
With four pulls of the trigger, eight rounds are fired in only three seconds."
Standard makes a beautiful single action. I have never understood why companies that can produce a work of art end up making zip guns. USFA did the same thing and went down the toilet.
Of course these are the guys who shattered my illusions about the "legendary" HK-VP70Z; I wished to have one back on the 1980's but now glad I got a Ruger P-85 instead (even though I sold that off).
In the tour video, the owner mentioned the cheaper guns sell in volume and keep the lights on.,not everybody can afford high end guns, as long as it keeps them in business, good on them.
I could see cheaper guns if they are utilitarian and are sold in high volume. This thing is too gimmicky, it’s not going to be a Wrangler, Glock, 870 Express, etc. I would rather pack a 5 shot 38 any day.
Man that ought to be the poster child for ugly , but seems like it would be affective. One round from a compact 45 ACP trumps a cylinder full of .22 mag .
Ran into one of these today. Well built, originally designed by Freedom Arms I believe and well made. Not sure I want one but you guys have been terrible influence about things 22 mag recently!!! LOL
5 shot capacity, but very stiff single action. Needs a gunsmith badly. Lots of accessories for it though. Any recommendations for a gunsmith for one???

The link provided forces you to kiss their layers' butt before you enter the site. Quite a list of "we have never, ever heard of the word responsible".
That said, yeah, I can poke fun at two rounds of .22 mag for defense. Against rabbits? Naw, yer good. Carpetbaggers? Twenty-two mag out of that short little barrel? Good luck.
Good point, CS. Actually they had a Kimber revolver or 3 in 357 Mag or a CZ Auto in 40 that really caught my eye. Hopefully later in the year! I think I will stick to using a 22 mag in a rifle only. -Tutt

I think the .22 mag can shine with a barrel of some length, but it needs some velocity to actually magnum.
Either Paco or Jim (can't recall which) relate a good story about using a .22 mag in an 8 3/8" Smith for critter control to excellent effect. It was Paco, I think.
