Ruger SR22 gets a longer barrel.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

In case you missed it, Ruger has released a new version of their SR22 with a longer barrel. This plinker's 4 1/2-inch barrel offers increased velocity and a longer sight radius, meaning you can get more accuracy out of the pistol. The hammer is extended for easy cocking, and the frame has an interchangeable backstrap that can be swapped without tools. On the slide, forward cocking serrations have been added and the sights are fully adjustable target models. The front blade sight is reversible, allowing you to select either a white dot or a black blade.
