The .22 LR platform remains a cornerstone for precision training, economical range time, and approachable shooting for newcomers. Its low recoil and affordable ammunition make it an ideal choice for honing fundamentals like trigger control, sight alignment, and follow-through without the fatigue of higher-caliber pistols.

SMITH & WESSON 22A-1 – .22 LR – 10 ROUNDS – 5.5″-Ships with original box and 3-10 round mags.

Design & Features

The SMITH & WESSON 22A-1 is a semi-auto pistol built around the .22 LR cartridge with a 5.5″ barrel and a 10-round magazine capacity. That 5.5-inch barrel increases sight radius and can deliver more consistent velocity compared with shorter-barreled pistols, translating to tighter groups on the target. Shipping with the original box and three 10-round magazines, it also delivers out-of-the-box value for shooters who want immediate range-ready capability.

Ergonomics and Practicality

As a semi-auto in the Smith & Wesson line, this model benefits from the brand’s long-standing reputation for durability and parts availability. The inclusion of three magazines is particularly useful for training sessions where reloads are needed without long breaks, and the 10-round capacity aligns with many range rules while still offering useful firepower for control and practice.

Performance & Applications

.22 LR is unmatched for high-volume target practice and deliberate precision work. Shooters can log hundreds of rounds per session at a fraction of the cost of centerfire ammo, while maintaining excellent control—critical for improving fundamentals. For defensive contexts, .22 LR is best considered a supplemental option; shot placement and reliable ammunition selection are essential if chosen for home defense or backup roles.

At a price point of $399.99, the SMITH & WESSON 22A-1 presents an accessible entry for shooters seeking a quality rimfire platform that balances accuracy, ergonomics, and immediate usability with three included magazines.

Accessories & Value

When adding optics, holsters, or practice aids, prioritize components designed for a 5.5″ .22 LR platform and 10-round magazine fitment. The included three magazines and original packaging make this model a practical choice for collectors and active shooters alike.
