Variants

The basic version of the pistol is the SP22 M1. The M1 is equipped with a 4-inch (10 cm) standard barrel, adjustable steel sights, and a two-stage trigger complete with adjustable trigger stop.^{[citation needed]}

SP22 M2

The M2 model features a longer, 6-inch (15 cm) barrel for increased velocity and accuracy.^{[citation needed]}

SP22 M3

The M3 model features a 6-inch (15 cm) match-grade barrel along with an adjustable match trigger. It also has removable Picatinny-style rails on top of, and underneath the housing. The M3 also comes larger polymer grips, and a quick-release magazine catch.^{[citation needed]}
