About Ruger SR-22 Magazines at Keep Shooting
Keep Shooting carries factory Ruger OEM magazines for the Ruger SR22 and the threaded-barrel SR-22P variant — the SR22 Pistol Magazine 2-Pack at meaningful savings over single-magazine pricing and the SR-22P extended magazine. The SR22 is Ruger's .22 LR rimfire companion pistol to the SR-series centerfire service-pistol family — built in Prescott, Arizona since 2012 and one of the most widely-owned rimfire pocket platforms in the American market. For the broader Ruger magazine lineup, see our parent Ruger Magazines category, or the Ruger brand page for the full Ruger catalog.
The Ruger SR22 was introduced in 2012 as Ruger's entry to the rimfire training / plinking / first-gun market that had developed around small .22 LR pistols like the Walther P22 (launched 2002), the Smith & Wesson M&P22 Compact (2010), and the legacy Ruger Mark series of target pistols. The SR22 was specifically positioned as a rimfire companion to the Ruger SR9 / SR40 / SR45 centerfire service-pistol family launched between 2007 and 2013 — same manual-of-arms profile, similar controls layout, similar sight picture, but chambered in inexpensive .22 LR for low-cost range practice and training.
The SR22's engineering differs from the SR9 family in one important respect: the SR22 is hammer-fired (traditional single-action / double-action trigger with an external hammer), not striker-fired like the SR9 / SR40 / SR45. This is a common architectural choice for small-frame .22 LR pistols — rimfire ammunition's softer primers and lower pressure work more reliably with a hammer-fired system that can deliver a more consistent primer strike than a striker-fired mechanism scaled down to .22 LR envelope. The SR22's trigger pull feel is similar to the SR9 family at the shooter level — same trigger reach, similar break characteristics — but the internal mechanism differs.
SR22 dimensions and features: 6.4 inches long, 4.9 inches tall, 1.29 inches wide, 17.5 ounces unloaded, with a 3.5-inch barrel (standard SR22) or 4.5-inch threaded barrel (SR-22P variant for suppressor compatibility and extended sight radius). 10-round standard magazine. Interchangeable backstrap panels for grip-profile adjustment. Ambidextrous manual thumb safety and magazine release — particularly valuable for the SR22's first-gun / training-pistol role where ambidextrous controls let both right- handed and left-handed shooters operate the pistol without modification. Adjustable rear sight and fiber-optic front sight option available on newer production.
The SR-22P threaded-barrel variant extends the barrel from 3.5 to 4.5 inches with a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle for suppressor mounting. The SR-22P is one of the least-expensive factory suppressor-ready .22 LR pistols in the American market, making it particularly popular among shooters entering the suppressor / NFA world — a $400 pistol that accepts a rimfire suppressor without requiring barrel-swap or gunsmith work. The SR-22P's extended barrel also improves accuracy and sight radius for target shooting.
Why the SR22 matters in the Ruger catalog. Unlike the SR9, SR40, and SR45 centerfire pistols which were discontinued around 2017, the SR22 remains in active Ruger production as of 2025. The SR22 survived the SR-series consolidation because its rimfire-training role is genuinely distinct from the Security-9 / American Pistol service-pistol segment Ruger consolidated around. The SR22 continues to sell in meaningful volume as Ruger's .22 LR pocket pistol — the companion product to the Ruger Mark IV target-pistol family (.22 LR bull-barrel target / competition pistols) at the smaller, more concealable end of the Ruger rimfire catalog. For Ruger's rimfire-rifle magazines covering the 10/22 carbine, see our Ruger 10/22 Magazines category.
Factory Ruger OEM magazines for the SR22 come in two configurations. The SR22 Pistol Magazine 2-Pack ($51.33) is the best-value factory option — two 10-round magazines at approximately $25.67 per magazine, meaningful savings vs. single-magazine pricing. The SR-22P extended magazine ($31.37) is the factory magazine variant for the threaded-barrel SR-22P configuration. Both are factory Ruger production — steel-bodied with polymer follower, stainless spring, and polymer floorplate — matched to the SR22's rimfire feed geometry. SR22 magazines are SR22-specific and do NOT cross-migrate to any other Ruger pistol platform (the centerfire SR-series, Security-9, American Pistol, Max-9, EC9s, LC9s, Mark IV, etc. all use different magazine patterns).
The SR22 civilian market covers several distinctive buyer profiles. First-gun buyers who want an approachable .22 LR pistol with modern polymer service-pistol ergonomics — the SR22 is routinely recommended as a first rimfire pistol by instructors and gun-store staff, particularly for shooters moving up from no-experience into defensive-pistol training. SR-series centerfire owners who bought the SR22 specifically as the rimfire training companion to their SR9, SR40, SR45, or Security-9 — same manual- of-arms, fraction of the per-round ammunition cost. Suppressor / NFA entrants who chose the SR-22P threaded-barrel variant as an inexpensive starter suppressor host — rimfire suppressors are the least-expensive NFA tax-stamped items, and a $400 SR-22P + $400 rimfire suppressor is the cheapest legal suppressed- pistol configuration in the US civilian market. Small-statured / youth shooters who appreciate the SR22's 17.5 oz weight and manageable rimfire recoil for hand-strength-limited shooting. Hunters and small-game shooters who carry the SR22 as a backup or pest-control sidearm in camp or field situations.
