Description
There was a time when rimfire pistols were built from steel and walnut, fitted by hand, and made to be passed down. The Standard Manufacturing SG22 picks up right where that era left off. Patterned after the legendary Woodsman-style target pistols that have not been produced in decades, this .22 LR semi-auto pairs old-school craftsmanship with a smooth blowback action that runs today's ammo without fuss. The deep royal blue finish and two-piece walnut grips give it the kind of presence you just do not see on modern polymer rimfires.
Built for the Target Line
The 6 5/8 inch barrel gives you a long sight radius, and the fixed front sight paired with an adjustable rear lets you dial in your zero for your preferred load. The grip angle is one of the most natural-pointing designs ever put on a pistol, which is a big reason the original inspired so much loyalty. Add a push-button magazine release and a 10-round magazine, and you have a setup that is right at home punching paper at 25 yards or knocking over steel with the family on a weekend.
Why the SG22 Stands Apart
Standard Manufacturing builds these in Connecticut with all-steel construction, and it shows the moment you pick one up. At right around three pounds, the heft soaks up what little recoil the .22 LR produces, so follow-up shots stay easy and sessions stay long. The slide rides on precisely fitted rails much like a 1911, and cases eject cleanly and consistently. Range reports consistently note it feeding a wide variety of bullet weights and velocities while turning in tight groups off a rest.
Whether you are a rimfire collector, a bullseye fan, or someone who wants to introduce a new shooter to the sport with something special, the SG22 delivers a shooting experience that modern production guns rarely match. This is the kind of pistol that ends up being the favorite in the safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Standard Manufacturing SG22 based on the Colt Woodsman?
It is a modern take on that classic design. Colt stopped making the Woodsman decades ago, and Standard Manufacturing revived the style with the SG22, keeping the same profile, grip angle, and all-steel construction that made the original such a favorite among target and small game hunters.
How many magazines come with the SG22, and are spares available?
This model ships with one 10-round magazine. The magazine design is very similar to a Ruger Mark-series mag in overall form, and additional factory magazines can be found through Standard Manufacturing and various online retailers.
Is the SG22 picky about .22 LR ammo?
It has a solid reputation for running a wide range of bullet weights and velocities without issue. Like most rimfire semi-autos, quality high-velocity ammo tends to be the most consistent choice, but reviewers have fed it multiple brands and loads with reliable feeding and ejection throughout.
How accurate is the SG22 for target shooting?
Very. The long 6 5/8 inch barrel provides a generous sight radius, and the adjustable rear sight lets you fine-tune your point of impact. With the gun's three-pound weight steadying your hold, groups in the neighborhood of 1.5 to 2 inches at 25 yards with iron sights are well within reach.
