The Ruger SR22 in .22 caliber was introduced to the market in 2012, and was really designed to target the .22 caliber plinking and target shooting market. Although the SR22 is associated with the Ruger SR centerfire series, from a design standpoint, it’s completely different from the SR centerfire models.
The SR22 is built around a straight blowback design that uses a polymer frame (like the SR9C and SR40 series) mated to aluminum slide. The pistol features a stainless steel barrel and uses a DA/SA trigger system, with an external hammer. Operationally, the SR22 uses an ambi safety/decocking lever, and ambi magazine release. The DA/SA action means that the SR22 can be fired in either DA (double action) or SA (single action). The decocking lever allows the hammer to be safely lowered on a loaded round.
Currently the SR22 is being offered in 3 configurations:
#1 – Standard SR-22 – This version has a 3.5” barrel is available in a number of different frame color and/or slide color configurations (Currently there are 8 different versions of the standard SR22).
#2 – SR22 Target – The so called “Target” model (Ruger model #3620) features a longer 4.5 inch barrel (as opposed to the 3.5” version found on the standard SR22 models).
#3 – SR22 Threaded – This version (Ruger model 3604) features a standard 3.5” barrel that is threaded for a suppressor.
The SR22 models offered today come with 2 interchangeable grip options with a “slim” or “wide” palm swell grip.
There are a number of excellent leather SR22 holsters in the market. The more popular holster styles include inside waistband, OWB holsters, and paddle holsters. The IWB holster style is the most popular as a concealed carry holster, or for concealment. Some inside waistband holsters feature a sweat shield or body shield
Made in the USA, these premium leather gun holster styles attach to the belt using a belt clip or snap straps. Most models ride up and down, but a few models also feature a forward cant (0-15 degrees). The belt clips or straps on the ITP holsters are designed to fit a 1.5 or 1.25 inch belt.
Inside the waistband holster styles can be worn strong side, behind the hip (at the 4-5 o'clock position), or appendix position.
Another popular holster for concealed carry are outside waist holsters or belt holsters. The OWB holster style mounts to the gun belt using belt slots or loops that are generally made to fit a 1.5 inch belt. Like IWB models, some belt holsters also feature a sweat shield and some ride at a forward cant. Molded for the SR22 pistol, most of the belt holsters shown below are available in a configuration to fit a 3.5" or 4.5" barrel.
Here are some of the more common questions that we see regarding holsters for the Ruger SR22 series:
While the Ruger SR22 and the Walther P22 do look similar, they have very different dimensions. As such, the SR22 won’t fit (at least not correctly) into a gun holster made for the Walther P22.
Yes, we do. Any holster listed below is available in a version to fit the Ruger SR22 4.5” barrel version.
Yes. Any magazine carrier made by MTR Custom is available to fit the SR22, and those can be seen here: magazine carriers.
Most any holster listed below is available with an optional thumb break (retention strap) that can be added to the holster.
Unfortunately, at this time, Don Hume isn’t offering any holsters to fit the Ruger SR22 model.
