Smith & Wesson SW22 Victory Target 22 LR 5.5″ Stainless Pistol

Description

There is a reason the SW22 Victory shows up at just about every rimfire league and Sunday plinking session. This Target version takes the proven blowback, internal hammer-fired design and dresses it up for accuracy work with a match-grade 5.5 inch bull barrel, a target trigger with an adjustable stop, and adjustable target sights with a clean black blade up front. The heavy barrel adds enough weight out front to settle your hold, and at 36 ounces the whole pistol soaks up what little recoil a .22 LR produces.

What Sets the SW22 Victory Target Apart

The frame is real stainless steel, not alloy, and the grip panels are textured polymer with a thumb rest, with panels included for both right and left handed use plus a flat panel for the off side. Smith & Wesson also polished the feed ramp and beveled the magazine well, small touches that make a difference when you are running bulk ammo through a rimfire pistol. A Picatinny-style rail comes in the box, so mounting a red dot or a small scope is a simple weekend project rather than a trip to the gunsmith.

Easy Takedown, Easy to Grow With

Anyone who has fought with a stubborn rimfire pistol during cleaning will appreciate the Victory's single takedown screw. Loosen it, lift the barrel and receiver off, and you have full access to the bore and action in under a minute. That same design makes the barrel interchangeable, so the aftermarket is full of upgrade options if you ever want to change things up down the road.

A Smart Pick for Training and Target Work

With 10+1 capacity, two magazines included, and cheap .22 LR to feed it, this is the kind of pistol that builds fundamentals without draining your wallet. It works just as well for teaching a new shooter trigger control as it does for chasing tighter groups at 25 yards. The thumb safety and single-action trigger keep the manual of arms simple, and the satin stainless finish cleans up nicely after a long day on the line.
