The Retay RXP22 was built with a clear purpose: give people a .22 LR pistol that actually trains you rather than just entertaining you. The ergonomics mirror a modern compact 9mm, the controls are in the right places, and the weighted magazines even simulate the feel of a loaded centerfire mag. That combination of muscle memory reinforcement and low-cost rimfire ammo makes this one of the more thoughtfully designed training pistols on the market right now.
The barrel is where Retay sets itself apart from a lot of budget .22 pistols. It's a precision-drilled, chrome-finished AISI 4140 low-alloy steel barrel with a 1/2×28 thread pitch, meaning you can thread on a suppressor without adapters. The internal frame is aerospace-grade 7075 aluminum alloy wrapped in a polymer chassis, so you get durability without unnecessary weight. At 1 lb 8 oz, it's substantial enough to absorb recoil and feel planted, but not so heavy it gets annoying to hold.
The slide is drilled and tapped for RMR and RMSc footprint optics, and Retay includes a universal mounting plate for optics that fall outside those footprints. So whatever red dot you're running, there's a good chance you can make it work without hunting down a separate adapter. The front sight is a TruGlo fiber optic and the rear is a target-style adjustable, which is a nice setup right out of the box. The frame also has an integrated Picatinny rail for a light or laser, and the manual safety is ambidextrous.
This OD Green frame variant pairs the OD Green Cerakote polymer frame with a Black Cerakote slide for a clean two-tone look. The magazine release is reversible, which is a small detail that makes a real difference for left-handed shooters. This 10+1 capacity version ships with two 10-round magazines. Retay backs the RXP22 with a limited lifetime warranty, which is solid reassurance for a pistol in this price range.
The threaded barrel on the RXP22 uses a standard 1/2×28 thread pitch, which is the most common pitch for .22 LR suppressors in the U.S. You can thread on a can directly without needing an adapter. Range testing with suppressors has shown the combo runs reliably and gets impressively quiet, especially with subsonic ammo.
The slide is drilled and tapped to accept optics with an RMR or RMSc footprint natively. Retay also includes a universal mounting plate in the box, which expands compatibility to a wide range of other red dots and micro optics. Most popular compact optics can be made to work with one of those two mounting options.
It's genuinely well-suited for new shooters. The .22 LR cartridge has very mild recoil, which helps beginners focus on fundamentals like grip, sight alignment, and trigger control without developing a flinch. The ergonomics closely mimic a full-size 9mm, so the skills learned here transfer well when moving up to a centerfire pistol. The ambidextrous manual safety and reversible magazine release also make it accessible regardless of dominant hand.
Like most semi-auto .22 LR pistols, the RXP22 tends to run most reliably with quality copper-plated round nose ammo. CCI Mini-Mags are frequently cited as a top choice for feeding and cycling. Bulk lead round nose ammo can work but may require the gun to be well broken-in first. It's worth doing a proper clean and lube before the first range session.
The RXP22 holds its own in that class. It features a chrome-lined AISI 4140 steel barrel that's a step above what many budget .22 pistols use, plus it comes optic-ready and suppressor-ready right out of the box. The weighted metal magazines and aluminum internal frame give it a more substantial feel than many rimfire-only designs. It's a competitive option for anyone shopping in that training pistol category.
Yes, Retay USA backs the RXP22 with a limited lifetime warranty for as long as you own the firearm. For a pistol in this price range, that's a meaningful commitment and reflects confidence in the build quality. Warranty registration can be completed through the Retay USA website.
