Had mine for about a month. Never tried stingers, but its eaten every bulk ammo i've fed it flawlessly. Very fun gun! I'm intrigued by it's simplicity. Very easy to maintain. It's not a super target gun but as a plinker it does that in spades.

It's Keltec.
There is no reason the gun wouldn't shoot Stingers. |

I ran a mag or two through mine, but no need to stress it too much.

Stingers don't stress anything. They are the same pressure as all the other .22 LR cartridges.

After shooting a couple thousand of those, I would have to disagree.

Stingers are basically a LR case and charge with a .22 short bullet. They may be loud, but they can be safely shot in any gun suitable for regular .22 LR.

If this is the case then it should be a lower pressure round. A lighter bullet with the same charge as a heavier bullet will produce less pressure.

Regardless, none of the .22LR "hyper" rounds are higher pressure than standard .22 LR, to my knowledge.
I'm happy to be proven wrong. |
