The 22A-1 uses a fixed-barrel, simple blowback system paired with a 5.5-inch heavy bull barrel for consistent alignment and durability. The long, serrated top rib integrates the sight assembly and complements the pistol’s target-focused layout.
Controls are straightforward and range-friendly, including a manual thumb safety with a red fire indicator dot and a push-button takedown latch at the front of the frame. Capacity is 10+1 with the included factory magazines.
Sight alignment is clear and traditional, featuring a Patridge-style fixed front blade and a fully adjustable rear sight. Black polymer grip panels with molded S&W logos provide a secure, low-maintenance interface.
The two-tone configuration pairs a black upper with a matte light-gray alloy frame, creating a distinct look and balanced handling. Manufactured in the USA and rollmarked for S&W’s Houlton, Maine facility, this model represents the proven 22A/22S line that later led to the SW22 Victory in 2016.
