Key Features
- Optic-Ready Slide – Directly mounts RMR/RMSc red dots without adapter plates, so you can co-witness with iron sights and get on target faster in low light or defensive drills.
- Threaded 4-Inch Barrel – Accepts standard 1/2×28 suppressors or compensators, reducing muzzle flip and making it easier to stay on target during rapid fire—ideal for apartment dwellers who want to keep noise down.
- Double/Single Action Trigger – First shot is a heavier DA pull (around 8-10 lbs per specs), with subsequent SA pulls around 4-5 lbs, giving you a built-in safety margin for holster carry and a crisp follow-up.
- Manual Safety – Ambidextrous lever lets you lock the slide and trigger, preventing accidental discharges during storage or transport in a crowded city environment.
- Integrated Accessory Rail – Mount a compact light or laser for home defense scenarios, ensuring you can identify threats in dark hallways or parking garages.
Who It’s For
This pistol is tailored for urban CCW holders who train often but want to save on ammo costs. It also fits apartment dwellers who need a low-recoil option for home defense—especially when paired with a suppressor to reduce hearing damage indoors. If you’re looking for a reliable .22 LR trainer that mirrors the controls and weight of your carry gun, the RXP22 bridges that gap without breaking the bank.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Affordable price point—under $250 makes it one of the most budget-friendly optic-ready .22 pistols on the market.
- Pro: Lightweight and compact, easy to pack in a range bag or nightstand drawer.
- Con: The double-action first pull is heavy for some shooters, and the trigger reset isn’t as crisp as higher-end competition pistols.
- Con: Magazine capacity is 10+1, which is standard for .22 LR but lower than some modern 15-round options.

FAQ
Does the RXP22 come with a threaded barrel adapter or suppressor?
No, it includes the threaded barrel only. You’ll need to purchase a 1/2×28 suppressor or compensator separately. The barrel is pre-threaded and ready to accept most .22 LR cans.
What optics fit the slide without a plate?
The slide is cut for RMR and RMSc footprints. That includes popular models like the Trijicon RMR, Holosun 407K/507K, and Shield RMS. You can mount these directly with the included screws.
Is this pistol safe for left-handed shooters?
Yes. The manual safety is ambidextrous, and the slide release is accessible from either side. The magazine release is reversible, so you can swap it for left-hand use in minutes.
Can I use high-velocity .22 LR ammo?
Per Retay USA specs, the RXP22 is designed for standard and high-velocity .22 LR. Stick to 1200-1400 fps rounds for reliable cycling, especially during the first 200-round break-in period.
What is the warranty on this pistol?
Retay USA offers a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact their customer service for specific claims. Shipping costs for warranty work may apply.
