Sig Sauer P322

With ammunition prices reaching new heights, American gun owners are shifting to training with .22 LR pistols that mimic the size and shape of their defensive pistols. In addition to this, due to age or physical infirmity, many people are looking for a defensive pistol that is easy to operate and easy to control, and are turning to pistols chambered in .22 LR. The market is responding to these wishes, with recent offerings from some of the largest gun manufacturers which have many of the same controls as their larger centerfire cousins, but use lower-priced and easy to shoot .22 LR ammunition.

The latest compact .22 LR pistol to hit the market is the new SIG Sauer P322 was designed and built in New Hampshire and is loaded with premium features such as an optic ready removable rear sight plate, threaded barrel and two different trigger shoes for optimal ergonomics. The optics plate on the slide means you can easily add a RomeoZero red dot optic or similar optic without the need to mill the slide or use adapter plates to add a sight. The threaded barrel adapter means the P322 is suppressor-ready right out of the box, and the ambidextrous controls and interchangeable flat and curved triggers means the gun is designed to work with you, not against you. The pistol also features a short length of Picatinny rail to mount lights, lasers or other accessories under the gun, and has fiber optic front and rear sights. The pistol ships with two 20 round capacity magazines, (10 round magazines where mandatory), and has an available 25 round magazine, purchased separately.
