The return spring is also lousy, but the extractor and ejector are high-quality. Be careful when cleaning your gun because some solvents might damage the polymer. Check out our gun cleaning guide for more info on polymer cleaners.
The front sights are dovetailed and adjustable and thank heavens for that. Most handguns have stubborn sights that are barely adjustable. The three dot-sighting system has a fixed white-dot front sight and a reversible blade with 2 white dots for better accuracy and placement.
This is all thanks to the Picatinny rail with multiple cross slots for all kinds of laser and light accessories. The Picatinny rail is located in front of the trigger guard, below the barrel. You can easily customize these adjustments and sights if you have some basic maintenance tools. I applaud Ruger for making the sights easily adjustable and stable when needed. The manufacturer has paid a lot of attention to detail when it comes to the ergonomics on this model.
The Ruger SR22 has a comfortable and versatile grip, whether you have big or small hands. You get two rubberized grip sleeves with your purchase, and even though the grip can be a hassle to remove, you have very cool aftermarket grips you can check out below. The Ruger SR22 is the labrador retriever of. Reloading is reliable and fast, and you can feed it basically any ammo — it works especially well with the Remington Thunderbolt.
According to Ruger, the SR22 was made for a jack-of-all-trades type of shooting that can handle plinking, target practice, competitions, and the piece can also act as a self-defense carry gun. The slide stop is spring loaded downward. Therefore, when there is a loaded magazine in place and the pistol is jarred, the slide can fly forward and chamber a cartridge. For this reason and as an essential safety practice, the user should always be careful to keep fingers away from the trigger, keep the safety on, and always keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction.
Use of incorrect magazines in any pistol will result in malfunctions. Conventional thumb decocking procedures are therefore not necessary and should not be employed with this pistol. To apply the manual safety and decock the pistol, point the pistol in a safe direction. Move either the right- or left-hand safety lever downward and fully to the safe position see Figure 2. When the safety is moved fully downward to the safe position, the red area is covered by the safety lever.
At this point the hammer will fall to the decocked position and rest on the hammer blocker. With the safety in the safe position the trigger is disconnected from the hammer so that the hammer cannot be actuated even though the trigger can be pulled.
The trigger is also disconnected from the firing pin blocker so that the firing pin blocker will not allow the firing pin to move forward and contact the primer even though the trigger is pulled.
Last of all, when the hammer is decocked in this manner, it rests on a hammer blocker, which prevents the hammer from contacting the firing pin. Pulling the trigger with the safety in an intermediate position may cause the pistol to fire. Therefore, always move the safety fully to its intended position and then check to be sure it is where you want it to be. Unless the white dot is fully visible, the safety is not ON. Unless the red dot is fully visible, the pistol is not absolutely ready to fire.
Do not attempt to load any other. Industry Standards, including high-velocity and hollow-point loads. However, sub-sonic or match-grade ammunition may not have sufficient energy to cycle the slide. If you find that the slide does not cycle fully, try another brand of ammunition. Always wear shooting glasses and hearing protection. But before you do anything with the pistol, first read completely through this manual. Be certain the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction. Move either the right- or left-hand safety lever fully downward to its safe position so that the red area is fully covered.
See Figures 2 and 3 on page Press the magazine latch inward from either the left or right side and remove the magazine from the frame. NOTE: The magazine is designed to fall free of the frame of its own weight when unloaded, the slide is locked open and the pistol is held in the normal firing position, but you should always prevent possible damage to the magazine by not letting it drop to the ground unless rapid reloading is absolutely necessary.
Place ten 10 or fewer. Insert the magazine into the frame, taking care that the magazine is locked in place by the magazine latch. Slamming the magazine into the frame forcibly is not necessary, though the magazine may require a light tap to seat. Have adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure. Hold the pistol firmly in the shooting hand but do not touch the trigger. Keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction and the safety on.
With the thumb and forefinger of the other hand grasp the rear of the slide and pull the slide to the rear as far as it will go see Figure 4, below and Slide Retraction Warning, p. When released, the slide will fly forward to strip the top cartridge from the magazine and chamber it. The safety mechanism drops the hammer automatically as the slide moves forward. The trigger is inoperable when the safety is fully engaged in its safe position lever fully down and red dot covered; see Figure 2 on page WARNING: The pistol is ready for instant use in the single-action mode once the slide moves forward if the safety is in the fire position.
Be careful! If the pistol is not to be fired immediately, the safety should remain in its safe position see Figure 2, p. If the pistol is to be fired immediately, the manual safety can be rotated upward to its fire position see Figure 3, p. The firing pin is still blocked at all times by the internal firing pin block unless the trigger is pulled all the way to the rear.
The pistol is ready for instant use once the safety is disengaged. When the pistol is in the uncocked mode hammer forward , the first shot can be fired double-action by pulling the trigger all the way to the rear, which cocks the hammer and then fires the pistol. Subsequent shots are fired single-action until the magazine is empty, the hammer being cocked by the slide as it recoils from each shot. Note that the trigger pull is much lighter for these subsequent shots.
For greater accuracy and consistent trigger pull, the hammer may be manually cocked by the shooter before the first shot is fired once the safety is off.
Keep your finger off the trigger while cocking the hammer! The hammer will be automatically cocked as described above for subsequent shots. Keep face and hands away from rear. Hot brass is ejected quickly and can burn you.
Immediately following the firing of a shot, and if a subsequent shot is not to be fired at once, put the safety in its safe position lever fully down and red area covered while the pistol is still pointing in a safe direction downrange. This will also uncock decock the pistol.
When the last cartridge loaded into the pistol has been fired, the magazine follower presses the slide stop upward to engage the slide, automatically holding the action open. If the slide is shut, the shooter should always assume that there is a cartridge in the chamber! Dont rely on your memory to know if a gun or magazine is loaded. With the pistol pointed in a safe direction, visually inspect the magazine and chamber.
Always keep fingers away from trigger! Never put any part of your hands or body over the muzzle while retracting the slide for loading, unloading, inspection, or clearing a malfunction. Never rely upon any safety or mechanical device to justify unsafe or careless gun handling. The indicator is a hole in the top of the barrel and the slide at the back of the barrel. See Figure 5. This is a view port that allows the user to look in and see the presence of a cartridge in the chamber. Figure 5 Visual Inspection Port Muzzle 18 Do not load the pistol until you are ready to use it, and unload it immediately when you have completed shooting.
See Warning - Unloading on page If dropped or struck, the pistol may fire. Keep chamber empty unless actually firing! Use the safety lever to decock pistol before moving with pistol or when not actually firing.
For maximum safety when carrying the pistol with a loaded magazine in place, the chamber should be empty, the slide should be closed, and the pistol should be decocked.
Never carry it cocked! If placed into a holster, check it to be sure that the slide is not retracted far enough to either chamber a cartridge from the magazine or cock the pistol. The user should never depend on any mechanical device to justify careless handling or permit the pistol to point in an unsafe direction.
The shooter should always be alert to the possibility of accidental discharge. The only absolutely safe pistol is one in which the slide is open, the chamber is empty, and there is no magazine in the gun. Dry firing can be useful to learn the feel of your pistol. Be certain that the pistol is fully unloaded both the chamber and magazine are empty and that the pistol is pointing in a safe direction at all times, even when you are practicing dry firing.
This device prevents firing if the magazine is removed from the pistol. With the pistol pointed in a safe direction, visually inspect the magazine and the chamber. To unload, first remove magazine, then pull slide to rear, eject chambered cartridge, and visually inspect chamber to be sure it is empty. The safety should always be in its Safe position when loading or unloading the pistol. Always point the pistol in a safe direction when loading or unloading.
Failure to do so can result in the chamber being unintentionally loaded with a live cartridge! The muzzle of the pistol must be pointing in a safe direction at all times, and fingers should be outside of the trigger guard.
Put the safety in its safe position see Figure 2 on page 12 by rotating the safety fully downward until the red area is covered by the left safety lever. The safety can be engaged whether the pistol is cocked or not. The hammer will drop near the end of the safetys travel. Although this may appear startling, it is important to note that the firing pin is blocked, thus preventing forward movement toward the cartridge; therefore, the pistol will not fire when the safety is applied.
Manually decocking the hammer with the thumb is neither necessary nor recommended. Always use either the right- or left-hand safety lever. Remember that when you return the manual safety to the firing position, the pistol can fire when the trigger is pulled if a cartridge is in the chamber and the magazine is in the gun. Remove the magazine from the pistol by pushing in on either the left or right magazine latch button.
See Warning - Unloading, page Hold the pistol firmly and grasp the slide. Retract the slide to its rearmost position briskly to extract and eject any chambered cartridge. Always double check visually that the chamber, breech-face, and the interior of the frame are clear of any live rounds.
When the slide is fully retracted, push upward on the slide stop, then allow the slide to move forward until it comes to rest with the rear projection of the slide stop resting in the notch on the lower left side of the slide. To close the slide, again check to be sure the chamber and breech-face are empty. Pull the slide to its rearmost postion and release it. The slide will snap forward. Keep fingers out of ejection port on top of slide!
If the magazine contains cartridges, they can be removed by sliding each cartridge forward and out of magazine, one at a time, until the magazine is empty. Push empty unloaded magazine into frame until magazine latch locks it in place. Firing all cartridges in the magazine and the chamber will cause the slide to automatically lock open. Keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction.
Reloading can be accomplished by moving either the right- or left-hand safety lever fully downward to the safe position lever fully down and red area covered and then pressing in on the magazine latch with the thumb or forefinger. The magazine will fall free of the pistol of its own weight if the slide is locked open. To avoid the possibility of damage to the magazine, do not let it fall to the ground unless rapid reloading is absolutely necessary. Insert a loaded magazine.
For this reason and as an essential safety practice, the safety of the pistol should always be fully on except when the user is positioned to fire the gun at a selected target. Release the slide to move forward by pulling the slide fully to the rear and releasing it. A cartridge will be chambered when the slide shuts. If you are ready to fire immediately, move the manual safety fully upward to its Fire position. It can also be recocked to fire in the single- action mode.
If the pistol is not to be fired immediately, depress the manual safety fully until the hammer drops and keep the safety on at all times except when actually firing. When you are finished firing the pistol, unload it completely see pages 19 - The action causes extraction and ejection of the fired cartridge case. If a cartridge fails to fire or if the shooter wishes to eject the chambered cartridge manually, follow the procedure To Unload step 3, p.
When the slide is operated by hand, there can be a failure to extract the cartridge from the chamber, or a failure to eject the cartridge clear of the pistol. A reversible blade allows shooters to select two white dots or a solid black blade. The easy-to-use underside Picatinny rail features multiple cross slots for variable mounting of most popular accessories. With products made in America, Ruger offers consumers almost variations of more than 40 product lines.
