There was a couple of threads where it was debated whether there was enough muzzle lift in a .22 to "stitch" a target. At the range today I did a couple of experiments. with a 4" bull bbl Ruger 22/45. This gun is rather bbl heavy, but with a short bbl, so i thought it would work. In a modern two handed shooting stance, with a firm grip, there was no continued muzzle lift. Shooting stayed at point of aim.
With a one handed stance though, I could not get 4 shots on a 15 inch target at 7 yds. One handed i shot with only a moderate grip, as a woman or someone with less hand strength may do. I was surprised that the yeavy barrel still lifted so much. i Made it a special point not to jerk the gun or the trigger. anyways, just an off hand on the spot test. Tell me if there are some
variables that I missed. Was just shooting some CCI blazer.
Have a good evening.
