The '''Ruger SR22''' or '''SR22P''' is a compact [[semi-automatic pistol]] manufactured by [[Sturm, Ruger & Co.]], chambered for the [[.22 Long Rifle]] [[Rimfire ammunition|rimfire]] cartridge. The SR22 is mainly targeted at [[plinking]] and [[shooting sport|competition shooting]].

==Design== The SR22 does not share design and ergonomic commonalities with the [[striker-fired]] [[Centerfire ammunition|centerfire]] [[Ruger SR-Series]] pistols and mechanically deviates significantly. In fact, it is more similar to the [[Walther P22]] than a Ruger SR-Series pistol. The SR22 comes only in compact size, although recently a {{convert|4.5|in|cm|adj=on}} [[gun barrel|barrel]] version (Model 3620) was released.

The SR22 has a [[Blowback (firearms)|straight blowback]]-type [[firearm action|action]], and features a [[stainless steel]] barrel that is fixed to the frame. Furthermore, the SR22 features a [[Trigger (firearms)#Double-action.2Fsingle-action|double-action/single-action trigger system]] with a rounded-spur external [[hammer (firearm)|hammer]], and has a visual inspection port in the form of a hole in the top of the [[pistol slide|slide]] and the back of the barrel that functions as a loaded [[chamber (firearms)|chamber]] indicator. The pistol is very lightweight thanks to its [[aluminum]] slide and [[polymer]] frame, and also comes with interchangeable rubber [[pistol grip|grip]]s for different-sized hands.<ref>[https://ruger-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/_manuals/sr22Pistol.pdf Instruction Manual for Ruger SR22 Pistol]</ref> The SR22 started to ship in January 2012 and is shipped with two single-stack 10-round [[magazine (firearm)|magazine]]s and replaceable grips for small or large hands.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ruger.com/products/sr22Pistol/models.html|title=Ruger SR22|publisher=|accessdate=24 November 2014}}</ref>

The Ruger SR22 is equipped standard with an ambidextrous thumb safety/decocking lever, and magazine release. Two interchangeable handgrips are offered. One in slim, and the other in wide-palmswell format. It is also equipped with a [[Picatinny rail]] on the frame below the barrel and in front of the [[trigger guard]].
