Primary Use

There are a lot of mixed opinions in society regarding how and when (or even if) guns should be used. The main reason why guns were created in the first place was for conflict and for taking lives, but that should never be the reason why anyone uses a gun.

This Ruger in particular, according to many people who reviewed it, is perfect for if you want to do some target practice in particular or other similar sports. The main use for this gun is recreational, so it is a nice option for you if you want to go out on to the field, practice some shooting, shoot at a target such as a tree stump, or other recreational activities.

This pistol is also very lightweight, so it is great for concealed carry, and it is also a great option for people who are just getting into target practice that is relatively easy to work with and get used to. The gun shoots well consistently and people have reported that it has very little recoil, which is great for beginners because they might not be used to the regular recoil that some larger guns would have.

Overall, this is a nice small and lightweight pistol that anyone can use should they want to do some practice, self-development, or even if they just want to get away for a while and do something to get their anger out.

Barrel

The length of the barrel of the Ruger SR22 is 3.5 inches, making it a fairly small pistol.

Weight

One of the biggest features that people appreciated with this pistol is how lightweight it is. The pistol only weighs 17.5 ounces, which is light compared to many other handguns. That means that this pistol will not only be easy to use for beginners and experienced individuals alike, but the pistol will also be a good option for people who want something for concealed carry. It is always easier to use a pistol that is lighter in weight. The lightness of this pistol and its ease of use make it an attractive option for many gun enthusiasts.

Ammunition

The SR22 pistol comes with two round magazines, which are meant to hold 10 rounds each. This is enough for when you simply intend to carry the pistol with you, but in instances where you will take the gun out to shoot, you might want to have a few more magazines with you just in case.

Accessories

There are not too many accessories available that are meant to be used with the SR22. If you want to carry your pistol, there are several holsters available for you to choose from. Also, you can get optics, which are meant to help you to improve your aim. There are different types which are meant to accommodate conditions such as poor weather or darkness. You can also get a threaded barrel for your Ruger and the tools that you will need in order to replace it. Another fun option that some people got for their Ruger is a laser, which is especially interesting because this gun is meant to be used for recreational purposes. And finally, you can also get a magazine pouch that is meant for .22 magazines, which will be great to use.

Finish

The finish of a gun is one of the most important features because it is what ultimately will decide how well the gun will perform when used. Despite the fact that the Ruger SR22 is a rather small gun and certainly not as flashy as some other pistols on the market, people were pleased with the black matte finish it has.

The gun is made with aluminum and stainless steel, which means that this Ruger pistol is extremely durable when compared to other handguns. The grip is made with polymers and the gun’s blade has a black finish.

A lot of people who purchased and reviewed the pistol were pleased with the way that it looked and performed. Some people even said that this is one of the most attractive .22 pistols on the market. Having a gun that is a matte black and silver makes for a beautiful design that many people will appreciate and admire. And, of course, when it comes to something potentially dangerous like a gun, you never want to purchase something that isn’t durable.

Safety

One of the best features of this pistol is its safety. If you have put the gun in its safe position, there is no way for the gun to be fired because the cartridge and the firing pin will not be able to come into contact with one another to cause the pistol to fire. Also, the hammer part of your pistol will be decocked if the safety is used, which means that it won’t be able to come into contact with the firing pin either. Move the hammer part so that it is on the blocker, which will avoid contact with the trigger so that way you can safely disassemble your pistol.

It is easy to put the pistol into the safety position and then to reassemble it again once needed. This is important for when you want to clean your pistol especially.

Price

The price of this pistol varies greatly depending on which model you choose to purchase. In any case, expect to be spending more than $400 on this model. For example, should you choose to purchase the 3600 model, it is valued at $439, and further models go up to $479. According to many people, this pistol with all that it has to offer is definitely worth the price. However, there are several online shops which will sell the pistol for less than that, so you will want to look around and find a reputable seller.

Another important factor to consider is that it is absolutely important that you find someone who is reputable and sells authentic products. This is because there are many people out there who claim to be selling guns for much, much cheaper than the market price, but those guns are in reality counterfeit products. You really don’t want to take this risk when it comes to a product like a gun because you have no idea how high-quality a counterfeit gun is (if at all) and it might perform poorly or put you in danger. So, be sure to do your research and to only purchase from reputable sellers who offer the pistol at reasonable prices.
