The 5.5" steel bull barrel with a recessed crown is designed for stability and consistent accuracy. The barrel is housed in an alloy shroud that carries the full-length integral Weaver-style rail, giving ample mounting space for compatible sights. The sighting system pairs a plain ramped front blade with a micro-adjustable rear.
This pistol operates on a simple blowback, semi-automatic action and uses a single-action only trigger. Controls include a front-of-grip magazine release for quick changes and a frame-mounted manual safety with a red fire witness dot. Capacity is 10+1 with single-stack magazines.
Maintenance is streamlined by the front barrel take-down button that enables tool-less disassembly. The combination of a clean bore and sharp rifling supports precise performance at the range.
Construction features a light gray aluminum alloy frame matched to a matte black upper for a two-tone finish. Black textured polymer grip panels with S&W medallions offer a secure hold. This example bears the Houlton, Maine U.S.A. rollmark, and comes from the discontinued 22A series (ended in 2015).
