I love that sig is putting flat faced triggers on base models, I also love that the new sig guns like the 365 can have the grip module changed by only removing one snap pin. Sig is on the ball lately
20 rounds in a 22lr handgun is crazy. I think I may pick up one of these. If it resembles the p365 it may be a good training tool since that's what I carry. Threaded barrel is always a plus as well. I find myself passing on any 22lr that isn't threaded from the factory.
Sig should have made a P365 version in 22lr. I'm sure they will, but should have been the first 22lr training pistol vs the P320 training 22lr. Regardless, glad to see Sig continually updating their product offering. I firmly believe Sig is the one major gun manufacturer that will changed the gun industry the most. Great job Sig!
I watched this, ran over to Sheel's and picked one up along with a Holosun red dot. I have a Mark II and was planning to pick up an M IV anyway. Maybe I'll stop at the range tomorrow on the way home. If it performs as you found it seems like a very nice little 22. It was just a few pennies less than $400.

Looks like a good little pistol but I still love my Taurus TX22. I have over 1000 rounds with only 2 issues and both were ammo related. Thanks for the video.
Pitted against the TX22 Competition model since they are at the same price point the TX22 is a better deal. The TX22 Competition has the red dot mounts on the barrel instead of the slide which keeps the red dot from shaking back and forth and keeps precious grams of weight off the slide to eliminate FTE. That is one sweet "Gucci" design by the Taurus engineers. Plus it looks bad ass a-la Beretta M9.
This looks incredible and just in time, seeing how I've been looking for another .22 pistol. Having 20 (and potentially 25) rounds in a magazine is outstanding. Having those mags loaded with Federal Punch Personal Defense 22lr, could make this a truly viable carry option.
"Viable" is not the word i would use. Anything that's manual of arns includes "do a mag dump into the face of the enemy and say a quick prayer" is a range toy or something for someone whose so insanely frail that it was basically this or accept their chances. I mean it beats fighting with a pointy stick, but I'd definitely suggest having a pointy stick on standby if you're carrying a .22 to defend yourself from anything other than a rabid squirrel because you're probably going to need to pike the enemy with it when they're quickly closing the distance looking like they've been shot in the face with a pellet gun. That being said, I guess I'm buying another Sig. Although the FN502 tactical looks pretty good too...decisions, decisions. What an awesome problem to have!!
I'd go with "Velocitors" if possible, "Stingers" as a 2nd. Although I think Browning, Winchester & Aguilla all have options available that are similar to both CCI offerings. A 40gr hp around 1400 & a lighter 32gr hp around 1600. Won't get those velocities from a pistol length barrel but I'd imagine they'd still do pretty well.
My initial experience with my P322 was, unfortunately, very poor. I had approximately 1 malfunction per 4 rounds. I know that sounds crazy, especially considering I used 4 different types of ammo. I had numerous light primer strikes, mis-feeds, stove piping. I shot about 200 rounds through the gun and contacted Sig. They shipped the gun in-house and performed repairs. They ended up replacing the barrel (this interested me), adjusting the hammer seat and installing a new/stronger main spring. These issues are not isolated, unfortunately. Many, many instances of these problems can be found on the Sig forums. For a very new gun, that's not a good sign. More of the story, be ready to send the gun to Sig for repairs when you first get it. The gun now shoots very reliably and is very fun. I shot a few hundred rounds the other day and had one light primer strike, that's it. Regarding accuracy, I was hitting a 100 yard target about 50% of the time so it's very accurate as well. Cheers,
@@peterpiper3790 ironically Springfield xds is my running/workout gun cause the gun and mags don't rust, the hellcat didn't rust, my Glock 19 gen 3 hasn't rusted, and my CZ75 P01 hasn't rusted but my p365xl and mags are a basket case of almost daily attention. Cerakoted all the metal but the mags are drenched in corrosion x now.
@_Bucky Beltfed The 502 is a great pistol. But how does this pistol fall short of the 502? The 502 is more finicky with ammo, and carries half as many rounds. Not to mention, $200 more.
Looks and performed like an excellent gun. Just what you’d expect from Sig. I’ve got a G44 that I really like. It’s fun to shoot and great for training others at the Range because it’s exactly like my G17, just smaller.
I just bought one used from a local gun store on my lunch break. With 4 mags, looks brand new for $320 all in. Cant wait to get some more trigger time on it. Only shot one mag at my shop but work ends soon. I love it. I have a cheap ADE red dot at home that needs a home until i upgrade to a holosun.
Well, I got one, and I'll say it's been a chore to get a full magazine out of this at times without some kind of malfunction. Lite Strikes, Feeding issues. One of my magazines looks like it eats itself. My P322 won't lock back on the last round, ever. Got about, 1,500 rounds through it and still having issues. Guess they really tuned up the one they sent you. I've been trouble shooting it and might see some issues that might be causing my problems, that one magazine, in which yes, I have most of the malfunctions on that one messed up magazine. I like the pistol and when it runs it runs. So far doesn't like Aguila, Stanger's, or Tippman Arms ammunition high and standard of both. Hoping that it will break in at some point and start running. I am wanting a suppressor for it as well, hopefully it will start working better. I am looking for different recoil spring kits for it.
So many folks have and continue to have problems with their P322 that it makes it difficult for a perspective buyer to believe that the one that they would buy off the shelf would perform as well as the one that was provided to you to do the test and evaluation. Sig has had 2 years to work out the kinks and they haven't and keep blaming the problems folks are getting to them not loading the mags properly. Now it is critical to make sure you load the mags correctly yet even after watching their mag loading video, they're still getting misfeeds, light strikes, and barrels leading up after a relatively few number of rounds through them. Most folks wish they could buy a gun that would work as well as the ones that the manufacturer supplies to most of the "name" reviewers. I believe your reviews are accurate and true for the gun that you were provided, but I am less confident the the public will get the same results from buying a random one off the shelf.
Enjoyed the video , I work at Sig Sauer and had to order mine .Can’t wait to get it and put rounds down range . Very informative video learned a lot . Glad you like it !! Talk to you soon.
I recently got my P322 and put 400 rounds (CCI: Mini-Mags HP & Round Nose and Stingers) through it without any failures or barrel leading. It is very accurate using a Holosun 407K green dot. I am feeling grateful to have recieved a good copy of this fun to shoot gun.
I picked this gun up in November 23 new from Cabela’s and just tested it after cleaning it new out of the box. Ran 250 rounds mixed between CCI LHP, CCI CRN, and Browning CHP. The CCI and Browning HP ammo had failure to feed about 2-3 out of every 10 rounds (disappointing). The Browning ammo was worse than the CCi. The CCI CRN ran better with 3 failures out of a 100. Used 6 different mags with similar results. Hopefully, I’ll get better performance after it breaks in more.
That’s pretty cool. Could do without the trigger swap but if it doesn’t cause trouble or fall off or something I suppose it will be ok. Seems like a good 22.
Awesome firearm. It’s going to give the tx22 a run. I have a tx22 and have fired over 2k rounds with 2 malfunctions to date. One was a stove pipe and one was a primer strike that didn’t go bang. I think this will sell good bc i myself love sig and sig has a lot of followers.
Agree. I have the TX22 also and still plan on getting this one. I got my TX22 for only $320 and spent $35 for a red dot plate. I’ve only shot about 200 rounds though mine with about 3 stove pipes and a light primer strike. The stove pipes could be from shooting suppressed and low velocity ammo (710-1000 fps).

Most people who have shot 22LR their whole lives "one malfunction per box of bulk bottom shelf 22? super reliable" --> The armchair armorer "IF IT CANT FIRE 50,000 ROUNDS WITHOUT FAIL THEN I WONT BUY IT!"
If I buy the cheapest ammo forget the brand but it got American flags on it and it’s a box of 500 only get 3-4 malfunctions per box idk where all these keyboard warriors are getting information
Premium .22LR ammo very rarely malfunctions. I don't think i've ever had a malfunction with CCI Velocitor, out of thousands of rounds fired. Bulk 22, youre right, totally different story.
The glock 44 is a shiddy designed gun. Even the Taurus TX22 whoops its ass. And that, is sad. Glock is lazy, and outdated. They refuse to come up with anything new, or innovative.
I just saw this gun at a local gun and tackle shop, and was curious about it. I like Sig products and am glad to see they do carry a .22lr. For inexpensive plinking, a .22 lr can’t be beat, and it sounds as if you were having a blast out there, laughing because it is such a fun little gun to plink with! Thanks. New sub here. Came for the Sig, will sub for whatever other guns you feature as well.cheers
Wish I knew this was coming out. Just bought the Taurus 22TX and installed a red dot plate with a Vortex Viper red dot sight. Uhhh guess I’m getting this one too. 😂
Ive put 1200 rounds through mine. It didnt like the federal lead tipped rounds. Got a few stove pipes and one side by side. Changed to the Remington Golden Bullet and have had zero issues.
I have a threaded GSG firefly & it runs great. Love it. I heard the SIG mosquito was really bad though. I'm not sure what differences GSG made to their firefly but whatever they did, it works.
Shot the Sig 322 from a friend who got it brand new that day!!! Trigger was very nice but we had a lot of jams!! We shot .22 cci Standard. If you do not check the mags twice the bullets will get stuck in the mag and will not be transported in the chamber. Also had some stovepipes... After all I will not buy it and now I am even more happy with my Ruger Mark 2 and my Hämmerli 208.
I have the sig p226 in 22lr… it’s an amazing hand gun. Only thing it won’t do is the slide doesn’t lock back after the last round. I called sig and they told me the sig p226 22lr is designed to dry fire so even though it’s a rim fire there are no issues with it. I try and use cci ammo and less stove piping occurs but even when it jams just rock the slide and it keeps on working. Nice video, nice gun.
I have a Browning 1911 .22 and it’s a great gun but same thing, the slide only locks back maybe 50% of the time for some reason, tried lots of different ammo.
I'm definitely going to have to take a look into this pistol, I've been running a tourist TX22 for about 4 years now and I love the pistol aside from it not being able to cycle any subsonic ammo I've put through it
Reason most semi automatic 22 pistols and rifles can't cycle subsonic ammunition is due to low powder load in the cartridge, they only put so much in them where it can only reach velocity up to 980 to 1000 fps (feet per second), thats about as much as a pellet rifle, the recommended powder load for semi automatic 22s is 40 grain and higher where it's velocity and fps are higher between 1100 to 1600 fps, i ran different powder loads and high and low velocity bullets in my sig sauer 1911 22lr, from what I've noticed rounds 1200 and higher tend to cycle more cleaner and smooth without stove piping or jamming
I recently went to the range with a friend. I was shooting the Sig P322 and he was shooting the Ruger Mark IV. Both of us had red dots. By the time we left both of us were able to shoot all of the red out of the bullseyes on our targets. I am happy with my Sig but honestly the Ruger Mark IV felt like a better built gun. If I were to start over, I would buy the Mark IV.
The best .22 I’ve ever had not a mark v was the CZ cadet conversion for a p07 absolutly reliable thousands and thousands of rounds of aguila and cci thru it and I can’t remember the last malfunction Awsome training tool has saved me tons. And you get the sweet single action trigger
I have had a Mosquito for years and absolutely love it. It eats anything I put in it and is a joy to shoot. I did not have to break it in with high velocity ammo or change the springs. If you put a drop of oil in the port on the slide like you’re supposed to, it works just fine. That being said, I definitely want one of these as well.
A great review and the gun looks very well made and serviceable. I have the S&W Victory with I have been very pleased with. Only 10 round mags with the Victory. I also like the blow back design. Blow back fixed barrel guns are usually very accurate.
It's a Ruger SR 22 from what I can see. I have had zero issues with mine. It needs the external hammer like the Ruger. It does have a few more rounds to play with than the SR22
I had, key word "had", a ruger SR22. It spent more time at ruger than it did in my home. It had several problems. Ended up dumping it when it came back to me for the last time.
So I got one 3 days ago because of how nice it felt, how good it looked and how much you seemed to enjoy it. I have tried cleaning it, lubricating it, different ammo and I am getting 3-5 light primer strikes per magazine and jams and failures to feed with the last couple of bullets. I'm pretty disappointed. My dad's brand new tarus tx22 shot more ammo than mine did and had only one malfunction it was also $150 cheaper. I'm sure yours shot well but the more research I'm doing the more common I'm finding this problem is. My average is 1 malfunction for every 5 or 6 shots. Can you get another pistol not sponsored by sig and test it? Thanks 22 plinkster I really enjoy your content keep up the good work.
After watching this video I found a lot of similarities between this and the Kel-Tec P17. They both are hammer fired, they both come apart for cleaning the same way, they both have a threaded barrel, and they both shoot all types of ammo without any issues. I have the P17 and I’m thinking I would love this gun as well
U like that KelTec? I thought about it but went with the sig. I love the KelTec sub2000 I have. I’ve never shot any other KelTec and they get a bad wrap but that sub2k is awesome!
Take a look at “Armory Craft” P322 flat trigger. It’s modestly priced, adjustable, and cool looking. It gets rid of that spongy, plastic feel. Instead of a slippery feel you get a positive grip on this trigger. I think you’ll like it.
well I have the CZ P07 Kadet 22lr, and so far it eats whatever brand I shoot with, only malfunctions I had were with faulty ammo (deficient primer or something). But it's pricier than the sig (if 400$ ends up being the right price) and it lacks the possibility of putting a silencer, so I find this little sig very appealing.
Damned, this looks like a super fun plinking .22 pistol. The Taurus TX22 looked like a very nice product, but this may be even better. I hope they will be available in Europe (at a reasonable price).
@@zestaff In Norway it looks like NOK 7590 ($810) in 1 store that seems to carry it. And it's not in stock yet, either. I'm fixing to join a gun club and might be eligible to buy a gun after 6 months of active membership. To me, this looked like a nice first gun. Meh, I'll have plenty of time to think about it.
When a 22lr comes out you are the first I go to. You forgot to mention 2 very important things. 1) loading the mag with the mag loader correctly or you will get malfunctions, go to the sig site and their video will explain; 2) keeping the suppressor adapter tight before putting on the suppressor because if the adapter is not tight the adapter will come off when you take the can off, therefore, letting the spring fly out when you function the slide, go to sig site same thing. Thanks Plinkster
I bought a P322 and it is very ammo sensitive. Did not cycle CCI subsonic and was less than reliable with bulk ammo. CCI Minimags & Stingers worked fine. Maybe Mr. Plinkster got a specially tuned pistol?
@@nunya6600 Only ammo that will cycle is CCI Mini Mag. Remington, Winchester ALWAYS jams, FTF, FTE. No matter how carefully the Mags are loaded always jams. CCI Mini is about 9 cents per round. It's been back to Sig 2xs and they claim no issues. I disagree. May be going back a 3rd time. 3rd time is the charm?
Those are called trigger shoe. Curve trigger shoe and flat trigger shoe according to your preference. A very innovative idea from Sig as many shooters depend on the shape of the triggers as much as they do on the grips.
Dang. I just bought a Walther P22 Military and i love it, but i also have the Sig P320 & P365 (2 of them)... to have a Sig 22lr that holds 20 would have been fantastic, and i spent $325 on the Walther. If this thing would have came out a month ago, idve been all on it. I may just have to get one anyways... ugh.
I had an early umarex P22. It was a jamomatic. had to buy a captured recoil spring to get it very functional. Finally traded it off. Soured me on Walther, they shouldn't have put there name on it.
@@paulmoss7940 hmm... thats wild. This thing has eaten everything. Even the weird stuff. 45gr and 60gr, along with the usuals... 40gr and 38/36gr. Idk what year it was made. I was unaware umarex made them, and i also didnt know about captured springs. Reassembly is an artform. Ill have to look up this stuff and educate myself.
Bought one yesterday (with Romeo Zero RD) and took to range this morning. Very impressed - smooth functioning, red dot made the 25 yards easy to be on target. I had 3 light strikes out of 150 rounds - no big deal, it’s not a carry gun, it’s a range gun and a fine one at that.
Does the frame feel (or approximate) the P320? It is going to be interesting to watch the 22lr price point battle. I have a Taurus TX22 comp (accurate, fun, reliable). The rear sight is 'ok' but is plastic and needed to be replaced which Taurus no problem (great customer support). I hope TandemKross jumps on this P322 putting an upgrade kit together for the Sig. Great time to be a plinkster. Nice review, Mr. Thank you.
holding it feels the same, racking it, feels different, has a different hold up point, pushing the hammer back, but thats really it in feel. takedown is different.
Just purchased the P322, waiting to pick up. Was intending on buying the Walther but the Sig just fit better. Sounds like I made the right choice. Can’t wait to pick it up and head to the range.
I'm getting one of these for sure, love my S&W M&P .22 Compact but it only has 10+1 capacity... and this Sig will go with the others in my collection!!
@@BubbaBigDude remember large channels and people like 22plinkster are often sponsored by the manufacturers and if you watch their videos they almost always put a positive spin on the products they review as to not hurt themselves financially. The smaller, not sponsored channels give you the real story.
I was strongly considering the FN502, but after this sig release, absolutely not! I've had the "Umarex" experience, no Bueno! They get all the talking points right with this gun, now we can get some real-life reports of reliability, and this will be a serious contender to dethrone the legend: TX22.
@@jonnylivesinbr Right ,obviously what I mean is I'm sure theyre available for sale, and of course many of the main manufacturers are European, but the fact that most citizens are prohibited from their governments there from purchasin them, so I mean in what countries can you even do so with a "license" from your regime
@@22plinkster How do you say this is the most reliable 22lr pistol you have tested when it has two light primer strikes? Did you forget you tested the Kel-Tec P17 and it ran flawless with every type of ammo you put in it, including the bulk ammo and subsonic. Zero light primer strikes, unlike the Sig here.
@@Steven-gv1ke After checking the jam, 22plinkster confirmed that there was a solid hit on the primer and not a light primer strike and felt it was an ammo issue and not the firearm. I was interested in the p17 as well, but this new Sig has stepped it up big with capacity, egro and maybe even reliability. Reliability will be confirmed as time goes on but so far I like what I'm seeing.
@@Steven-gv1ke Its 22 rimfire....It is vastly more unreliable and inconsistent in manufacturing than centerfire rounds. I have a dozen rimfires made by kimber, savage, ruger, marlin, H&R, etc and ALL exhibit misfires or light rim strikes periodically, even with high quality rimfire ammo. just the nature of the game.
@@MsTugg I've taken apart many brands and types of .22 rimfire ammunition years ago and found that a great majority of them had the priming component material spread in a U or circular pattern with a gap. If the firing pin hits that area the round will not fire. When I shot sort of competition with .22 the instructors urged us to use Eley or some other hi grade ammo because the primer material was fully circular in the rimfire case.
I have 2,500 rounds though mine with 0 failures. I’ve shot 500 rounds suppressed, 100 rounds of Winchester, 200 rounds of aguila, and the other 2,200 were various kinds of cci. This is my first .22 pistol and I’m impressed so far. Great video 👍
I made my second trip to the range to try out ammo with my Sig 322. So far I have used only Stinger and Punch ammo. On my first trip, I shot 115 rounds without a failure. Today I shot 190 rounds with one jam and one primer strike. When I take my Sig 322 to the range next, my plan is to shoot more stinger and punch ammo. But, I will probably add some of the CCI Clean hyper velocity. I gave my gun a quick once-over-cleaning after the range trip. I made my third trip to the range with my Sig P322. For the second time, I fired 115 rounds without a failure. I fired 95 rounds of the CCI Clean 22 Hyper Velocity 31 grain rated 1550 fps. I shot 10 Federal Punch rounds and 10 Stingers. I hope someone will do a review of the Clean 22 Hyper Velocity 31-grain ammo. So, at this point I have fired 415 rounds with one light primer strike and one jam.
Man I fell in love with the tx22 I bought 2 of them shoots any ammo I throw at them and at the time they were the highest capacity at 16 I wanna get the mag extensions to take them up to 20 but man I think I might have found a replacement for my two tx22 I never understood why companies never mad high capacity 22lr pistols
Many new guns are the best ever by reviews when it first hits the market. We'll see how this goes after it has been used/abused by "regular" folks. They start out good and then have pros that people love and cons that people deal with. I have 4 22LR plinkers. 2 TX22's (one for wife), a Ruger 22/45 Lite, and a FN 502. These are some of the main pros & cons that "I" feel are important. I wonder how the 322 fits in here. TX22 Pros: Eats any ammo I put through it and has 16 round mags (+3 and +9 mag extensions are available for up to 25 round capacity). The wife's TX22 has Sig Romeo Zero and cycles flawlessly. Very nice trigger. Relatively short pre-travel, crisp break, and short reset. Reliable, accurate and fun to shoot. Inexpensive. Cons: Needs aftermarket recoil assembly (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) to keep spring from digging into the frame, which has caused the some people's frame to break. Dovetail plate for red dot does not allow do-witness. 22/45 Lite Pros: Very accurate. Eats all ammo. Nice trigger action (although I installed a flat faced Tandemkross Victory on mine.) Locks bolt back on empty. Takedown is super easy compared to older Rugers. Reliable. A joy to shoot (until the 10 rounds are quickly emptied). Cons: Not red dot ready (unless you go for something like a Sig Romeo 5 that attaches to the rail), which obviously does not allow it to co-witness. Only 10 round mags (boo) for everyone, regardless of state. 502 Pros: Very accurate. Good trigger break and reset. Red dot ready and co-witness with Holosun 507k. 15 round capacity mags (luckily, I've been able to get extras.) Cons: For me, reliability is still to be determined. Mine is finicky with some bulk ammo. First round doesn't always go into battery without bumping the slide (seems the recoil spring is light). Very hard to find mags.
That price tho for a 22lr☠️ But I guess cause it’s a Sig. Myself owning 2x Keltec P17 (150$ each) for less then 4 months & 3000 rounds total in both with zero issues, oil it once & ate every dirty ammo. Wonder if Sig 22lr mag will be somewhat affordable like how keltec sells their mags for $15 each. Overall sleek 22lr from Sig.
I have a ruger mark 4 and this new firearm seems better in almost every way. Ergos, price, capacity, functionality. The breakdown on the ruger imo is still superior, but I still respect not needing tools to disassemble this one.
A new model Sig. I’ll definitely get one in 2 years when they’ve fixed all the problems. 2 years is generally the amount of time they need after the first few runs they beta test on first buyers.
My question is, how accurate is this pistol compared to 22 target pistols like the ruger mark iv. I know this is a really late question but I was looking at 22 pistols for my local pistol competition. I was going to get a S&W SW22 or a Ruger mark iv. I personally am a huge fan of sig and when I saw that this pistol is 200$ cheaper than the mark iv and comes with a thread adapter, I was very intrigued.
Now I want one!! None available!! Got one. You must have gotten a good one. Mine is very finicky. I have to say my TX22 is more reliable and easier to load.
I love that sig is putting flat faced triggers on base models, I also love that the new sig guns like the 365 can have the grip module changed by only removing one snap pin. Sig is on the ball lately
If you want to swap out the trigger face it’s in the box. Flat or curved. Mine came with the flat/straight on.
The grip module is not replaceable on this one. That's the only bummer I can see so far.
That is why Glock is Mad...
It is good to know that they are not "Ammo finiky". This means alot with a 22lr. Thank you. Great video.
Mine is
the reviewers seem to have gotten the good one because mine is kinda ammo finiky.
I'd watch a few other reviews on this before you buy. Seem likes this doesn't work well with all or most ammo.
Mine is ammo picky too. I really don't like it for the price. Don't buy it.
DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT THIS CLOWN HAS SAID
Sig is just killing it the last few years. Wow. Looks like Another home run.
20 round, 22LR, released in 2022... perfect timing on Sig's part!
Maybe they should have released it on 2/22/22 😁
I am a sig guy and wanted a 22 for a long time. Can't wait to buy one.
That's an evolutionary step. Congrats to Sig!!
20 rounds in a 22lr handgun is crazy. I think I may pick up one of these. If it resembles the p365 it may be a good training tool since that's what I carry. Threaded barrel is always a plus as well. I find myself passing on any 22lr that isn't threaded from the factory.
Sig should have made a P365 version in 22lr. I'm sure they will, but should have been the first 22lr training pistol vs the P320 training 22lr.
Regardless, glad to see Sig continually updating their product offering. I firmly believe Sig is the one major gun manufacturer that will changed the gun industry the most. Great job Sig!
I mean...I don't know if you have looked but this has a 3 slot rail and the P365 would be lucky to fit one slot.
This is much larger than a p365 and it isn't really like a p320 either
It’s not really either, it’s somewhere in between with design motifs from both
I have come to the conclusion I am NOT buying any .22 pistol that isn't threaded.
Thanks and Blessings! I didn't think I'd need another .22, but now I think I do!
Thought I was done buying guns last week when I picked up a Sig Canebrake. That was short-lived!
Yeah. Been there before. In fact, that's where I am now.
Ive bought my last gun 3 or 4 times. About to be 5 I think.
I watched this, ran over to Sheel's and picked one up along with a Holosun red dot. I have a Mark II and was planning to pick up an M IV anyway. Maybe I'll stop at the range tomorrow on the way home.

Pitted against the TX22 Competition model since they are at the same price point the TX22 is a better deal. The TX22 Competition has the red dot mounts on the barrel instead of the slide which keeps the red dot from shaking back and forth and keeps precious grams of weight off the slide to eliminate FTE.

@@OnivertInHouston this is in stock for $380. I haven’t seen the TX-22 Competition for that price in some time.
I love my tx22 too but I would rather have a red dot. The p322 will make a good home for that extra Romeo zero I have.
@@coreymoyers the TX22 Competition is a more stable platform for the red dot in my opinion but the SIG P322 appears to be a good option.
The Sig P322 is going for $700+ on GunBroker and the TX22 for $450 if you check right now.
This looks incredible and just in time, seeing how I've been looking for another .22 pistol.
Having 20 (and potentially 25) rounds in a magazine is outstanding.
Having those mags loaded with Federal Punch Personal Defense 22lr, could make this a truly viable carry option.
Federal Punch Personal Defense 22lr is awesome, a very ruthless .22lr ammo for sure.
@@BubbaBigDude My Son has a TX22. His only Pistol. He keeps a Mag of Federal Punch in it when hes not Plinking.
"Viable" is not the word i would use. Anything that's manual of arns includes "do a mag dump into the face of the enemy and say a quick prayer" is a range toy or something for someone whose so insanely frail that it was basically this or accept their chances. I mean it beats fighting with a pointy stick, but I'd definitely suggest having a pointy stick on standby if you're carrying a .22 to defend yourself from anything other than a rabid squirrel because you're probably going to need to pike the enemy with it when they're quickly closing the distance looking like they've been shot in the face with a pellet gun.
That being said, I guess I'm buying another Sig. Although the FN502 tactical looks pretty good too...decisions, decisions. What an awesome problem to have!!
I'd go with "Velocitors" if possible, "Stingers" as a 2nd. Although I think Browning, Winchester & Aguilla all have options available that are similar to both CCI offerings. A 40gr hp around 1400 & a lighter 32gr hp around 1600. Won't get those velocities from a pistol length barrel but I'd imagine they'd still do pretty well.
@@johnnelson3158 Don't underestimate 21 rds. of .22. I'm sure you wouldn't want to be a target of it.
My initial experience with my P322 was, unfortunately, very poor. I had approximately 1 malfunction per 4 rounds. I know that sounds crazy, especially considering I used 4 different types of ammo. I had numerous light primer strikes, mis-feeds, stove piping. I shot about 200 rounds through the gun and contacted Sig. They shipped the gun in-house and performed repairs. They ended up replacing the barrel (this interested me), adjusting the hammer seat and installing a new/stronger main spring.
These issues are not isolated, unfortunately. Many, many instances of these problems can be found on the Sig forums. For a very new gun, that's not a good sign. More of the story, be ready to send the gun to Sig for repairs when you first get it.
The gun now shoots very reliably and is very fun. I shot a few hundred rounds the other day and had one light primer strike, that's it. Regarding accuracy, I was hitting a 100 yard target about 50% of the time so it's very accurate as well.
Cheers,
I sent mine in and it still malfunctions unless I only use CCI mini mags. Kinda disappointed in sig...
“Sig has 350 engineeers on staff at their facility”.
No wonder their pistols are so damned pricey.

Cerakoted all the metal but the mags are drenched in corrosion x now.
Yes my 365 is great but the magazine rust is bad
This is what the Glock 44 should have been.
Even this only dreams of being an FN502
@_Bucky Beltfed The 502 is a great pistol. But how does this pistol fall short of the 502? The 502 is more finicky with ammo, and carries half as many rounds. Not to mention, $200 more.

Looks and performed like an excellent gun. Just what you’d expect from Sig. I’ve got a G44 that I really like. It’s fun to shoot and great for training others at the Range because it’s exactly like my G17, just smaller.
Love my G44 same frame as G19
How’s the reliability on the g44? Would be great to train for my 17.
I just bought one used from a local gun store on my lunch break. With 4 mags, looks brand new for $320 all in. Cant wait to get some more trigger time on it. Only shot one mag at my shop but work ends soon. I love it. I have a cheap ADE red dot at home that needs a home until i upgrade to a holosun.

Well, I got one, and I'll say it's been a chore to get a full magazine out of this at times without some kind of malfunction. Lite Strikes, Feeding issues. One of my magazines looks like it eats itself. My P322 won't lock back on the last round, ever. Got about, 1,500 rounds through it and still having issues. Guess they really tuned up the one they sent you.
I've been trouble shooting it and might see some issues that might be causing my problems, that one magazine, in which yes, I have most of the malfunctions on that one messed up magazine. I like the pistol and when it runs it runs. So far doesn't like Aguila, Stanger's, or Tippman Arms ammunition high and standard of both.
Hoping that it will break in at some point and start running. I am wanting a suppressor for it as well, hopefully it will start working better. I am looking for different recoil spring kits for it.
Congrats Plinkster on testing out the new sig 322pistol. 400.00 sounds good to buy.
So many folks have and continue to have problems with their P322 that it makes it difficult for a perspective buyer to believe that the one that they would buy off the shelf would perform as well as the one that was provided to you to do the test and evaluation. Sig has had 2 years to work out the kinks and they haven't and keep blaming the problems folks are getting to them not loading the mags properly. Now it is critical to make sure you load the mags correctly yet even after watching their mag loading video, they're still getting misfeeds, light strikes, and barrels leading up after a relatively few number of rounds through them. Most folks wish they could buy a gun that would work as well as the ones that the manufacturer supplies to most of the "name" reviewers. I believe your reviews are accurate and true for the gun that you were provided, but I am less confident the the public will get the same results from buying a random one off the shelf.
Enjoyed the video , I work at Sig Sauer and had to order mine .Can’t wait to get it and put rounds down range . Very informative video learned a lot . Glad you like it !! Talk to you soon.
YOU work at SIG, and you had to order it???? LOL
I recently got my P322 and put 400 rounds (CCI: Mini-Mags HP & Round Nose and Stingers) through it without any failures or barrel leading. It is very accurate using a Holosun 407K green dot. I am feeling grateful to have recieved a good copy of this fun to shoot gun.
ruclips.net/video/1Cw-vODp-8Y/видео.html
This is fantastic! I was looking for a way to spend twice as much for a TX22. Sig came along and solved my problem. Thanks you Sig!
🤣 lmao
I picked this gun up in November 23 new from Cabela’s and just tested it after cleaning it new out of the box. Ran 250 rounds mixed between CCI LHP, CCI CRN, and Browning CHP. The CCI and Browning HP ammo had failure to feed about 2-3 out of every 10 rounds (disappointing). The Browning ammo was worse than the CCi. The CCI CRN ran better with 3 failures out of a 100. Used 6 different mags with similar results. Hopefully, I’ll get better performance after it breaks in more.
That’s pretty cool. Could do without the trigger swap but if it doesn’t cause trouble or fall off or something I suppose it will be ok. Seems like a good 22.
I oreded a metal trigger for mine.. LOVE IT!!
Very nice trigger out of the box. I replaced it with the Armory Craft adjustable trigger and it really cleaned up the pre and post travel. Love it.
Awesome firearm. It’s going to give the tx22 a run. I have a tx22 and have fired over 2k rounds with 2 malfunctions to date. One was a stove pipe and one was a primer strike that didn’t go bang. I think this will sell good bc i myself love sig and sig has a lot of followers.
Agree. I have the TX22 also and still plan on getting this one. I got my TX22 for only $320 and spent $35 for a red dot plate. I’ve only shot about 200 rounds though mine with about 3 stove pipes and a light primer strike. The stove pipes could be from shooting suppressed and low velocity ammo (710-1000 fps).
Sig is going to be $400+ - I purchased my TX22 for $275 - no problems with my TX22 with any ammo and $275 is the max I will pay for a .22 plinker.
@@Christoph-sd3zi Yeah, that will be the biggest thing Sig will have to worry about. If they over price it, it will not beat out the TX22!
@@dboutdoors6180 the only thing about the TX22 is the factory sights are absolute garbage
Pitted against the TX22 Competition model since they are at the same price point the TX22 is a better deal. The TX22 Competition has the red dot mounts on the barrel instead of the slide which keeps the red dot from shaking back and forth and keeps precious grams of weight off the slide to eliminate FTE. That is one sweet "Gucci" design by the Taurus engineers. Plus it looks bad ass a-la Beretta M9.
I live about 30 minutes north of that plant and know many who work there. Thanks for Rockin' the Federal shirt.
Most people who have shot 22LR their whole lives "one malfunction per box of bulk bottom shelf 22? super reliable" --> The armchair armorer "IF IT CANT FIRE 50,000 ROUNDS WITHOUT FAIL THEN I WONT BUY IT!"
Lol yep not one 22 gunner worries about a few malfunctions that's life
.22lr shooters _know_ malfunction drills because they live them. 😉
If I buy the cheapest ammo forget the brand but it got American flags on it and it’s a box of 500 only get 3-4 malfunctions per box idk where all these keyboard warriors are getting information
Premium .22LR ammo very rarely malfunctions. I don't think i've ever had a malfunction with CCI Velocitor, out of thousands of rounds fired.
Bulk 22, youre right, totally different story.
Out of all 3 of my 22 firearms I'm guessing I have had 4 single issues out of over 10k rounds. What more could you ask for?
I just bought P322 and had a couple stovepipes with the first few boxes of Aguila and SK. Great pistol compared to Mosquito which I gave away.
Excellent firearm. I have a TX 22 but this will be a new addition with both of these eclipsing the Glock 44.
I love my tx22 but this is tempting
I disagree.
My Glock 44 is better than my Taurus.
The glock 44 is a shiddy designed gun. Even the Taurus TX22 whoops its ass. And that, is sad.
Glock is lazy, and outdated. They refuse to come up with anything new, or innovative.
I just saw this gun at a local gun and tackle shop, and was curious about it. I like Sig products and am glad to see they do carry a .22lr. For inexpensive plinking, a .22 lr can’t be beat, and it sounds as if you were having a blast out there, laughing because it is such a fun little gun to plink with! Thanks. New sub here. Came for the Sig, will sub for whatever other guns you feature as well.cheers
Wish I knew this was coming out. Just bought the Taurus 22TX and installed a red dot plate with a Vortex Viper red dot sight. Uhhh guess I’m getting this one too. 😂
Ive put 1200 rounds through mine. It didnt like the federal lead tipped rounds. Got a few stove pipes and one side by side.
Changed to the Remington Golden Bullet and have had zero issues.
I have a threaded GSG firefly & it runs great. Love it. I heard the SIG mosquito was really bad though. I'm not sure what differences GSG made to their firefly but whatever they did, it works.
FYI, the SIG mosquito was NOT made by SIG. Only sold by them. Was big mistake on their part.
Shot the Sig 322 from a friend who got it brand new that day!!! Trigger was very nice but we had a lot of jams!! We shot .22 cci Standard. If you do not check the mags twice the bullets will get stuck in the mag and will not be transported in the chamber. Also had some stovepipes... After all I will not buy it and now I am even more happy with my Ruger Mark 2 and my Hämmerli 208.
I have the sig p226 in 22lr… it’s an amazing hand gun. Only thing it won’t do is the slide doesn’t lock back after the last round. I called sig and they told me the sig p226 22lr is designed to dry fire so even though it’s a rim fire there are no issues with it. I try and use cci ammo and less stove piping occurs but even when it jams just rock the slide and it keeps on working. Nice video, nice gun.
Had the same problem with the 220 in 22lr,sig told me that they didn't make the mag's,but offered me a .45 slide for 250 with 2 mags and night sights
You mean the mosquito?
I have a Browning 1911 .22 and it’s a great gun but same thing, the slide only locks back maybe 50% of the time for some reason, tried lots of different ammo.
Love to see the comparison between this and the FN502
I'm definitely going to have to take a look into this pistol, I've been running a tourist TX22 for about 4 years now and I love the pistol aside from it not being able to cycle any subsonic ammo I've put through it
Reason most semi automatic 22 pistols and rifles can't cycle subsonic ammunition is due to low powder load in the cartridge, they only put so much in them where it can only reach velocity up to 980 to 1000 fps (feet per second), thats about as much as a pellet rifle, the recommended powder load for semi automatic 22s is 40 grain and higher where it's velocity and fps are higher between 1100 to 1600 fps, i ran different powder loads and high and low velocity bullets in my sig sauer 1911 22lr, from what I've noticed rounds 1200 and higher tend to cycle more cleaner and smooth without stove piping or jamming
@@vipervenom8215 40 grain is not the powder load, it is the weight of the bullet.
@@CHEECHMUN thank you for correcting me i thought I had it backwards lol
@@vipervenom8215 It happens, you're welcome!!
M&P 22 compact cycles all subsonic I feed it. CCI quiets included. Great suppressor host
I recently went to the range with a friend. I was shooting the Sig P322 and he was shooting the Ruger Mark IV. Both of us had red dots.
By the time we left both of us were able to shoot all of the red out of the bullseyes on our targets. I am happy with my Sig but honestly the Ruger Mark IV felt like a better built gun. If I were to start over, I would buy the Mark IV.
The best .22 I’ve ever had not a mark v was the CZ cadet conversion for a p07 absolutly reliable thousands and thousands of rounds of aguila and cci thru it and I can’t remember the last malfunction Awsome training tool has saved me tons. And you get the sweet single action trigger
May have to pick me up one, one of these days. Do they still sell them?
Ruger doesn't make a Mark v
@@herman5eight damn text to speak IV
Great timing to market! I know I've been shooting a lot of .22LR this year.
Yep,I’m definitely going to add one of these to my collection!
I have had a Mosquito for years and absolutely love it. It eats anything I put in it and is a joy to shoot. I did not have to break it in with high velocity ammo or change the springs. If you put a drop of oil in the port on the slide like you’re supposed to, it works just fine. That being said, I definitely want one of these as well.
Hello there 👋👋,how are you doing today?hope you’re having a good day?God bless you❤️
A great review and the gun looks very well made and serviceable. I have the S&W Victory with I have been very pleased with. Only 10 round mags with the Victory. I also like the blow back design. Blow back fixed barrel guns are usually very accurate.
I watched this video and said "wow, gotta get me one" Took it to the range last night and wow, just wow.... incredibly accurate and no FTL or FFF.
After watching the video it's still gunna be hard to beat the TX22. just a reliable and half the cost ! Also the TX22 is dry fire safe as well.
I also think the tx take down is better for cleaning as well I don't know if I like the fixed barrel.
I love my tx22 bit this is tempting.
@@keithstone6411 Ditto, I am really, really quite fond of my TX22

So I got one 3 days ago because of how nice it felt, how good it looked and how much you seemed to enjoy it. I have tried cleaning it, lubricating it, different ammo and I am getting 3-5 light primer strikes per magazine and jams and failures to feed with the last couple of bullets. I'm pretty disappointed. My dad's brand new tarus tx22 shot more ammo than mine did and had only one malfunction it was also $150 cheaper. I'm sure yours shot well but the more research I'm doing the more common I'm finding this problem is. My average is 1 malfunction for every 5 or 6 shots. Can you get another pistol not sponsored by sig and test it? Thanks 22 plinkster I really enjoy your content keep up the good work.
After watching this video I found a lot of similarities between this and the Kel-Tec P17. They both are hammer fired, they both come apart for cleaning the same way, they both have a threaded barrel, and they both shoot all types of ammo without any issues. I have the P17 and I’m thinking I would love this gun as well
U like that KelTec? I thought about it but went with the sig. I love the KelTec sub2000 I have. I’ve never shot any other KelTec and they get a bad wrap but that sub2k is awesome!
I been reading & seeing so many good reports on the P17. I don't even want to drive in the direction of the gun store!
Take a look at “Armory Craft” P322 flat trigger. It’s modestly priced, adjustable, and cool looking. It gets rid of that spongy, plastic feel. Instead of a slippery feel you get a positive grip on this trigger. I think you’ll like it.
well I have the CZ P07 Kadet 22lr, and so far it eats whatever brand I shoot with, only malfunctions I had were with faulty ammo (deficient primer or something). But it's pricier than the sig (if 400$ ends up being the right price) and it lacks the possibility of putting a silencer, so I find this little sig very appealing.
I'm not claiming perfect pitch, but your Do Rae Me target seems about spot on.
Damned, this looks like a super fun plinking .22 pistol.
The Taurus TX22 looked like a very nice product, but this may be even better.
I hope they will be available in Europe (at a reasonable price).

Very nice review! Love the optics ready slide! Looks like the P322 might be my next gun!
When a 22lr comes out you are the first I go to. You forgot to mention 2 very important things. 1) loading the mag with the mag loader correctly or you will get malfunctions, go to the sig site and their video will explain; 2) keeping the suppressor adapter tight before putting on the suppressor because if the adapter is not tight the adapter will come off when you take the can off, therefore, letting the spring fly out when you function the slide, go to sig site same thing. Thanks Plinkster

I bought a P322 and it is very ammo sensitive. Did not cycle CCI subsonic and was less than reliable with bulk ammo. CCI Minimags & Stingers worked fine. Maybe Mr. Plinkster got a specially tuned pistol?
Same crap for me…it won’t cycle Winchester 333 jhp…disappointing
@@nunya6600 Only ammo that will cycle is CCI Mini Mag. Remington, Winchester ALWAYS jams, FTF, FTE. No matter how carefully the Mags are loaded always jams. CCI Mini is about 9 cents per round. It's been back to Sig 2xs and they claim no issues. I disagree. May be going back a 3rd time. 3rd time is the charm?
Those are called trigger shoe. Curve trigger shoe and flat trigger shoe according to your preference. A very innovative idea from Sig as many shooters depend on the shape of the triggers as much as they do on the grips.
Dang. I just bought a Walther P22 Military and i love it, but i also have the Sig P320 & P365 (2 of them)... to have a Sig 22lr that holds 20 would have been fantastic, and i spent $325 on the Walther. If this thing would have came out a month ago, idve been all on it.
I may just have to get one anyways... ugh.
I had an early umarex P22. It was a jamomatic. had to buy a captured recoil spring to get it very functional. Finally traded it off. Soured me on Walther, they shouldn't have put there name on it.
@@paulmoss7940 hmm... thats wild. This thing has eaten everything. Even the weird stuff. 45gr and 60gr, along with the usuals... 40gr and 38/36gr. Idk what year it was made.

The 322 looks like every other plastic .22 out there, the Ruger Mark iv/Browning Buck-marks are the way to go.
Love the way this gun looks, unfortunately cannot find it in stock anywhere and I'm about to just buy a tx22
Don't respond to any one who says you won ! It's a scam!!!
Bought one yesterday (with Romeo Zero RD) and took to range this morning. Very impressed - smooth functioning, red dot made the 25 yards easy to be on target. I had 3 light strikes out of 150 rounds - no big deal, it’s not a carry gun, it’s a range gun and a fine one at that.
Does the frame feel (or approximate) the P320? It is going to be interesting to watch the 22lr price point battle. I have a Taurus TX22 comp (accurate, fun, reliable). The rear sight is 'ok' but is plastic and needed to be replaced which Taurus no problem (great customer support). I hope TandemKross jumps on this P322 putting an upgrade kit together for the Sig. Great time to be a plinkster. Nice review, Mr. Thank you.
holding it feels the same, racking it, feels different, has a different hold up point, pushing the hammer back, but thats really it in feel. takedown is different.
365 not 320
Just purchased the P322, waiting to pick up. Was intending on buying the Walther but the Sig just fit better. Sounds like I made the right choice. Can’t wait to pick it up and head to the range.

This is the first time I've heard of the p322 but after watching this video I'm sure to get one .
The TX22 is really hard to get in Europe, I hope this will be in every gun store over here!

I know Czech can
I recently picked one of these up and have uploaded some videos on it with more to come. So far, after 500rds it's surpassed my expectations.
Great video! Does the grip mimic the other Sig grips? Is it the same or similar to P365 grip?
Yes, it does.
@@22plinkster How do you say this is the most reliable 22lr pistol you have tested when it has two light primer strikes?

@@Steven-gv1ke After checking the jam, 22plinkster confirmed that there was a solid hit on the primer and not a light primer strike and felt it was an ammo issue and not the firearm. I was interested in the p17 as well, but this new Sig has stepped it up big with capacity, egro and maybe even reliability. Reliability will be confirmed as time goes on but so far I like what I'm seeing.
@@Steven-gv1ke Its 22 rimfire....It is vastly more unreliable and inconsistent in manufacturing than centerfire rounds. I have a dozen rimfires made by kimber, savage, ruger, marlin, H&R, etc and ALL exhibit misfires or light rim strikes periodically, even with high quality rimfire ammo. just the nature of the game.
@@MsTugg I've taken apart many brands and types of .22 rimfire ammunition years ago and found that a great majority of them had the priming component material spread in a U or circular pattern with a gap. If the firing pin hits that area the round will not fire. When I shot sort of competition with .22 the instructors urged us to use Eley or some other hi grade ammo because the primer material was fully circular in the rimfire case.
I have 2,500 rounds though mine with 0 failures. I’ve shot 500 rounds suppressed, 100 rounds of Winchester, 200 rounds of aguila, and the other 2,200 were various kinds of cci. This is my first .22 pistol and I’m impressed so far. Great video 👍

I'd definitely like to try this firearm out. My taurus tx22 is awesome. Being this is a sig it might be twice as awesome
I made my second trip to the range to try out ammo with my Sig 322. So far I have used only Stinger and Punch ammo. On my first trip, I shot 115 rounds without a failure. Today I shot 190 rounds with one jam and one primer strike. When I take my Sig 322 to the range next, my plan is to shoot more stinger and punch ammo. But, I will probably add some of the CCI Clean hyper velocity. I gave my gun a quick once-over-cleaning after the range trip.
I made my third trip to the range with my Sig P322. For the second time, I fired 115 rounds without a failure. I fired 95 rounds of the CCI Clean 22 Hyper Velocity 31 grain rated 1550 fps. I shot 10 Federal Punch rounds and 10 Stingers. I hope someone will do a review of the Clean 22 Hyper Velocity 31-grain ammo. So, at this point I have fired 415 rounds with one light primer strike and one jam.
Glad I waited this looks cool, also 1000 rounds no cleaning for 22 that's a lot
Sig p322 looks awesome….looks like a lot of fun
Man I fell in love with the tx22 I bought 2 of them shoots any ammo I throw at them and at the time they were the highest capacity at 16 I wanna get the mag extensions to take them up to 20 but man I think I might have found a replacement for my two tx22 I never understood why companies never mad high capacity 22lr pistols
Many new guns are the best ever by reviews when it first hits the market. We'll see how this goes after it has been used/abused by "regular" folks. They start out good and then have pros that people love and cons that people deal with.
I have 4 22LR plinkers. 2 TX22's (one for wife), a Ruger 22/45 Lite, and a FN 502.
These are some of the main pros & cons that "I" feel are important. I wonder how the 322 fits in here.
TX22
Pros: Eats any ammo I put through it and has 16 round mags (+3 and +9 mag extensions are available for up to 25 round capacity). The wife's TX22 has Sig Romeo Zero and cycles flawlessly. Very nice trigger. Relatively short pre-travel, crisp break, and short reset. Reliable, accurate and fun to shoot. Inexpensive.
Cons: Needs aftermarket recoil assembly (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) to keep spring from digging into the frame, which has caused the some people's frame to break. Dovetail plate for red dot does not allow do-witness.
22/45 Lite
Pros: Very accurate. Eats all ammo. Nice trigger action (although I installed a flat faced Tandemkross Victory on mine.) Locks bolt back on empty. Takedown is super easy compared to older Rugers. Reliable. A joy to shoot (until the 10 rounds are quickly emptied).
Cons: Not red dot ready (unless you go for something like a Sig Romeo 5 that attaches to the rail), which obviously does not allow it to co-witness. Only 10 round mags (boo) for everyone, regardless of state.
502
Pros: Very accurate. Good trigger break and reset. Red dot ready and co-witness with Holosun 507k. 15 round capacity mags (luckily, I've been able to get extras.)
Cons: For me, reliability is still to be determined. Mine is finicky with some bulk ammo. First round doesn't always go into battery without bumping the slide (seems the recoil spring is light). Very hard to find mags.
Copper jacket T.V. Just bought one and if you watch his video it was a total jam o magic, couldn’t get through half a magazine....
That price tho for a 22lr☠️ But I guess cause it’s a Sig. Myself owning 2x Keltec P17 (150$ each) for less then 4 months & 3000 rounds total in both with zero issues, oil it once & ate every dirty ammo. Wonder if Sig 22lr mag will be somewhat affordable like how keltec sells their mags for $15 each. Overall sleek 22lr from Sig.
TX22 still has my heart
Sold. I hope it does cycle anything. I’m taking your word for it.
Be nice if they made it in 22 magnum as well.
That’s the only way they could make it better!
Thanks for a very informed look at the P322. Really enjoyed the walk thru.
Holster compatability with existing Sig guns?
Tools and Targets ( a new channel) was the first time I saw one of these. And have been looking since.
I have a ruger mark 4 and this new firearm seems better in almost every way. Ergos, price, capacity, functionality. The breakdown on the ruger imo is still superior, but I still respect not needing tools to disassemble this one.
Was about to ask. I don’t know if it want the p322 or the mark 4
@@ryanbolton3880 no denying that the aftermarket possibilities for the mark 4 are huge.
I’m glad to have seen this before I bought a TX22.
A new model Sig. I’ll definitely get one in 2 years when they’ve fixed all the problems. 2 years is generally the amount of time they need after the first few runs they beta test on first buyers.
Nutnfancy also reviewed this gun and he had lots of problems. I’ll still probably buy one. Super cool little plinker!
My question is, how accurate is this pistol compared to 22 target pistols like the ruger mark iv.
I know this is a really late question but I was looking at 22 pistols for my local pistol competition. I was going to get a S&W SW22 or a Ruger mark iv. I personally am a huge fan of sig and when I saw that this pistol is 200$ cheaper than the mark iv and comes with a thread adapter, I was very intrigued.
Now I want one!! None available!!
Got one. You must have gotten a good one. Mine is very finicky. I have to say my TX22 is more reliable and easier to load.
