This is a recreation of the Triton Quik-Shok. Was mfg in numerous handgun calibers, super effective!!! I have some 40cal. 135gr at 1325fps !!
Idk anything about it being quik shok but if I had to guess I’d say it’s this round re made/ marketed. It looks like the Winchester varmint HE 37gr segmenting hollow pointThis is a recreation of the Triton Quik-Shok. Was mfg in numerous handgun calibers, super effective!!!

Lol, yeah, prolly the worst rag to quote, but it was widely reported back in the day and I’m pretty sure stingers never came up. I did enjoy the old exploding bullet story though, and if anyone ever wondered where that mythological bullet got its start….I don't know where or when I heard Stingers were used by Hinckley but I guess I didn't get that from the Washington Post. Thanks
There's a good article in the recent issue of Concealed Carry magazine this month . They test various calibers of ammo that might be used in home defense , including several shotgun rounds .
Direct comparison on the same medium . .22LR performs surprisingly well . Obviously not the best choice but better than expected .
I had come across an active shooter video a couple months ago about the importance of cover.
State police traffic stop, with vest on. The bag guy pulls a gun and opens fire, a 22LR pocket pistol. The bad guy is hit 6/8 times, on the ground bleeding out, but didn’t he ultimately lived.
The officer doesn’t take cover, while on the radio, pistol in hand, the bad guy gets another round off, it strikes the officer just outside of the vest protection. 1 round of 22LR and the officer dies, the bad guy lives with 6/8 rounds.
1993 I believe South Carolina Trooper. Dirtbag shot him once with NAA 22 over the vest into armpit, was shot 5 times 158gr 357 mag. Was hard to watch. SC went to 40 cal after that.

Stingers are great. I used to use them all the time for varmints. Not small game tho.I have used CCI Stingers while hunting small game and I stopped because they did so much damage to the game. It would blow big holes in squirrels. I switched to just a regular .22 LR ammo. One year after Halloween, my brother and I took the pumpkins from our houses and went out in a field to shoot them for target practice. I was shooting one with a 9mm pistol and it would just punch holes in it. My brother loaded .22 Stingers in his rifle and when he shot the pumpkin, it nearly exploded. We were surprised that the Stingers would blast large holes in the pumpkin. I guess the hollow point bullets were expanding. I guarantee that if I were ever shot by a .22 Stinger bullet, it would sure stop me in my tracks. It may not kill me immediately, but it would surely cause a lot of damage and hurt like all hell.
Man...22 short was sold as self defense round for over 100 years. 1857-1950s RIP little one.Always nice to see new loads hit the market. I’d like to see a comparison between those and CCI Stingers. Anytime I ever considered .22LR and self defense in the same thought, it was either Stingers or QuickShock or the Aguila Hyper velocity rounds. I’ve seen what those do to small game and varmints a lot over the years. Yes, mostly from rifles, but many from a Ruger Standard. About 40 years worth. I do believe in segmenting rounds from .22 and would be interested to see how they stack up against the CCI rounds I use for squirrels.
Thanks for posting bro.
