Ruger’s conceal carry SR22 is a lineup of 10+1 capacity 22 LR semi-automatic pistols. Almost all have 3.50” stainless barrels, polymer frames, anodized aluminum slides, an under-muzzle Picatinny rail and high-visibility adjustable 3-dot dovetail sights. SR22s are a slim .97” wide, 4.90” tall, 6.40” long and weigh 17.5 ounces, or just over a pound. That’s a lot of stuff in relatively little volume.

These semi-automatics are double-action/single-action as a serrated rounded loop hammer permits single-action cocking. Their 10-round magazines feature an extension that effectively lengthens the grip’s forward face for a better, more comfortable, hold.

SR22s also feature ambidextrous manual thumb safeties, ambidextrous magazine latches, a nice combination of serrations around the grip and a visual inspection port to see if there’s a rounded loaded in the chamber or not. Flip the safety to F (Fire) position, and it reveals a red band as a visual confirmation. It’s a nice touch that everyone should adopt. There’s more on safety. If the magazine is out, the gun won’t fire even if there’s a round loaded in the chamber.

The SR22 tally is 18 models strong. But there are a few outliers that we’ll get to. That said, the main reason for so many models is the excellent array of color options.

The standard all-matte black model is as good a starting point as any to sample the lineup. It has all the aforementioned features (3.50” barrel, under-muzzle Picatinny rail, etc.). The barrel has a standard profile, 6 grooves and a 1:16” RH twist.

Though these guns have nicely portable dimensions, Ruger still managed to put diagonal grip serrations on the front and back of the slide. Not everyone can say the same.

The frame is polyurethane that’s fiberglass reinforced for tough, dependable durability. The muzzle area is nicely faceted imparting a modern look to match the modern technology and manufacturing. The under-muzzle Picatinny rail has three slots to handle a good variety of accessories.

The trigger guard has a diagonal leading face that’s serrated to keep your finger intuitively placed without needing to look. The back of the trigger guard is undercut. And, in the same area, the takedown lever is cleverly positioned half-hidden away inside the trigger guard a tad in front of the trigger

As far as variant models go, there is an all-black 4.5” barrel model. It weighs 18.7 ounces and is 7.40” in overall length, but is otherwise the same as the standard gun. Another has a 1/2"-28 TPI threaded barrel.

The other models offer color variations in slide/frame combinations always offered with a black grip. They are silver on black, American flag on black, black on an American flag, black on Copper Suede Cerakote, black on Polar Blue Cerakote, black on FDE, black on Red Titanium, black on Turquoise, black on Purple and black on Farmer Green. There are a few “solid” colors where the slide and frame are the same color. They are Rose Gold, Savage Silver and Elite Earth.

These guns come with two 10-round magazines, two corresponding finger grip magazine extension floorplates and two interchangeable rubberized grips with differing palmswells to accommodate different hands. Ruger SR22s are made in Mayodan, North Carolina. In other words, SR22s are Made in USA!
