The SP22 is a modular semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Walther Sportwaffen and distributed by Smith & Wesson. The SP22 is chambered in .22 LR (5.6 mm) and is designed for sport and competition shooting. It is manufactured with a composite receiver, aluminum housing, and all-steel internal components. Walther has four different models of the SP22: the SP22 M1, SP22 M2, SP22 M3 and SP22 M4, as well as multiple accessories for customizing.[5]
The basic version of the pistol is the SP22 M1. The M1 is equipped with a 4inches standard barrel, adjustable steel sights, and a two-stage trigger complete with adjustable trigger stop.
The M2 model features a longer, 6inches barrel for increased velocity and accuracy.
The M3 model features a 6inches match-grade barrel along with an adjustable match trigger. It also has removable Picatinny-style rails on top of, and underneath the housing. The M3 also comes larger polymer grips, and a quick-release magazine catch.
The M4 model retains the same standard features that are found on the M3, but includes a contoured adjustable wooden grip with hand support, and lacks the Picatinny-style rails.
