Ruger .22 Plinker
Ruger SR22
Ruger announced the SR22 handgun.
It’s a .22 plinker that seems to be targeted at the purchasers of the Sig Mosquito, Smith&Wesson M&P22 and Walther P22.
The specs seem pretty standard for the category. EXCEPT for one: the slide is made of aluminum. Not breakage-prone Zamak.
With that single feature, Ruger set themselves apart from their competitors.

I wonder how it stacks up price wise.
I picked up one of these great little Ruger .22′s at Hoffmans for $289.99. It’s a good little plinker with decent sights, a thumb safety, and two sizes of grips.
No target pistol, but fun to shoot, and no doubt is more accurate than I am !
Isn’t the M&P .22 an aluminum slide?
Yeah, the S&W has an aluminum slide. Looks like they learned their lesson with the zinc Sigma cheapo a few years back.
Caleb & Shelley Rae at Gun Nuts Media reviewed the M&P22 that is for rental at their store/range. It is apparently reliable, but cursed with the M&P trigger (“mushy and nonexistent trigger reset” is how Caleb describes it).
