Smith & Wesson Model 22A-1 Sport/Target .22 LR Semi-Automatic Pistol – 5.5" Bull Barrel, Integral Weaver Rail, Fiber-Optic Sights
This late-production Smith & Wesson Model 22A-1 Sport/Target stands out with its quick-change 5.5-inch bull barrel, integral Weaver-style optics rail, and upgraded green fiber-optic front sight. Built on a lightweight 7075-T6 aluminum alloy frame and finished in matte black, it offers a balance of target-grade accuracy and easy handling. The “UDB” serial prefix places this example among the final Houlton, Maine rimfire pistols produced before the line ended in 2015.

- Smith & Wesson Model 22A-1 Sport/Target pistol

The one-button barrel release lets you remove the barrel without tools, simplifying cleaning or caliber-consistent barrel swaps. The fluted carbon-steel bull barrel adds rigidity while keeping weight forward for steadier off-hand shots.
An integral Weaver-style rail runs the full length of the barrel shroud, giving you a ready platform for red dots or scopes without extra bases. If you prefer iron sights, the green fiber-optic Patridge front pairs with a micrometer-adjustable rear for fast, precise alignment.
The ambidextrous front-strap magazine release and bilateral thumb safety make this pistol friendly to both right- and left-handed shooters. An internal hammer-fired, single-action mechanism delivers a crisp break that many rimfire competitors appreciate.
Built in the USA at S&W’s Houlton facility, this Model 22A-1 reflects the final evolution of the series, incorporating later-run upgrades such as the fiber-optic sight and enhanced magazine disconnect safety.
