Armscor Xt Rocki 51996 Xt22 Magnm 22Mag 5 14R Blk
The Rock Island Armory XT22 Magnum is a compact single-action pistol chambered in .22 Magnum, built for shooters who want a lightweight, reliable handgun for target practice, small-game hunting, or everyday carry. At just 2.49 pounds with a 5-inch barrel and 8.5-inch overall length, this XT22 delivers a balance of shootability and portability that appeals to hunters, sport shooters, and anyone looking for a no-nonsense rimfire pistol. The 14+1 capacity gives you respectable trigger time between reloads, while the fixed sights keep things simple and durable.
Rock Island Armory engineered the XT22 Magnum around practical ergonomics. The VZ Operator II G10 grips provide a secure, textured purchase even in wet conditions, and the parkerized finish offers solid corrosion resistance without fuss. The single-action trigger breaks clean, making follow-up shots predictable—a real advantage whether you're zeroing a load or chasing varmints in the field. This is the kind of pistol that rewards good fundamentals and doesn't demand constant babying.
.22 Magnum itself punches above the typical rimfire weight class; it's a legitimate option for varmint control and small-game work where a larger caliber would be overkill. The XT22's compact profile and modest recoil make it ideal for shooters developing pistol skills or anyone who values a low-fuss, high-reliability backup or dedicated range gun.
