There has been an evolution in the handgun world. Over the last few years, more and more companies have been making .22LR pistols in full-size frames. The purpose is to provide shooters with a full-size training gun that uses the significantly less expensive .22LR round. These guns have the weight, size, and feel of full-size guns, making them an exceptional training tool. They are also excellent options for those just entering the handgun world. A company that understands this is RETAY USA. They are now offering the new RXP22.

A Full Size Training Pistol in .22LR – RXP22
RETAY USA, the North American sales and distribution for RETAY ARMS, makers of innovative shotguns, has announced that the RXP22 Pistol, a revolutionary .22LR training pistol, is now in stock and shipping to dealers and customers across the U.S. Designed with both new and experienced shooters in mind, the RXP22 delivers a superior training experience with the feel and function of a full-sized pistol without the high price tag or heavy recoil.

“The RXP22 sets a new benchmark for rimfire pistols,” said JP Fischer, VP of Sales at RETAY USA. “With premium features like a precision deep-bore drilled threaded barrel for accuracy, an optics-ready slide, rugged construction, and a clean single-action trigger, it delivers real shooter performance. But where it truly stands apart is the value—for the money, there’s nothing else even close.”
Aluminum Frame
Engineered around an aerospace-grade 7075 aluminum alloy internal frame and slide, housed in a polymer lower chassis, the RXP22 combines strength and ergonomics in a lightweight, durable package. The compact polymer frame features an enhanced, textured grip for superior control and comfort, along with a weighted metal magazine.

The slide, drilled and tapped for RMR and RMSC optics, includes aggressive front and rear serrations for easy manipulation. It includes a universal mounting plate for additional optic options. A precision-drilled, chrome-finished AISI 4140 steel barrel ensures top-tier accuracy and is available in threaded or standard configurations. Additional features, such as manual safety and an integrated accessory mount for lights or lasers, enhance functionality, all backed by a limited lifetime warranty for ultimate peace of mind.
RXP22
The RXP22 is available in a variety of Cerakote finishes, including OD Green, FDE, Sniper Grey, and Matte Black, as well as two-tone variants. If you’re looking for an expensive way to get the most out of your range sessions, it’s worth taking the time to check out the new RXP22.
