I love the my sr22. It is getting smoother with use. Shot over 600 rounds with maybe 5 ftfeed and that’s with bulk federal ammo. Cost .03 each can’t have more cheaper enjoyment than that. Love it. DM

In reply to Nim. It doesn't seem like Ruger has addressed any of the trigger issues with the SR22. The trigger isn't awful but it's definitely below average, especially for a Ruger. The SA trigger pull is definitely more comfortable while the DA is still notoriously shoddy.

I was hoping for some comments on the trigger of this gun. In another review I read, the author hated the trigger in DA mode. That review was back in 2012 however, and I was hoping that this was something that had been corrected? Did you happen to get the lbs trigger pull on the one reviewed?

I own both the 4.5 and 3.5 barrel SR22s. There is a HUGE difference in shooting and carrying size and weight of the pistol. The longer barrel is a better shooter hands down. The shorter barrel is a great CCW and fine shooter too.I compared the 3.5’s to both a Walther P22, and the Ruger SR22 3.5 inch I just traded the P22 for. I also own a Ruger 10/22 Takedown rifle with Hogue Stock and upgraded sights. Some of us folk can’t afford the bigger caliber to shoot and train, and just have to make do w/ opting for 22LR by practicing with regularly.

We’re thrilled you enjoyed our piece!
The SR22 is loaded with great features but there’s not much of a difference between the 3.5″ and 4.5″ models. That is more of a preference issue, especially if you’re not going to be carrying. The added inch may give you a slight boost in accuracy and control, but it’s not a game-changer.

Quite enjoyed your well done review of the SR22. I also appreciated your observations on shooting as recreation–it was refreshing given the “tactical” obsession of so many reviewers, especially on you tube. And yes I agree with that even a .22 is a weapon that must be treated with respect–it’s just that some times it’s just fun to bang away at tin cans with a .22 pistol without envisioning a potentially deadly confrontation.
I’m interested in the SR22 because it has the features I’d like: decocker, DA/SA, exposed hammer and ease of takedown. I’m also a Ruger fan. I’m considering the model with the 4.5″ barrel and wonder if you have any experience with or thoughts about that model. I’m glad I found this site and will explore it. Thank you.
