Sig-Sauer P322 is a modern self-reloading pistol by Sig Sauer, adapted to .22 LR (5.6 mm) side-loading ammunition. This model was developed as a sporty and cheaper-to-use alternative to the version adapted to centerfire ammunition. A distinctive feature of the pistol is the interchangeable trigger and breech guide assembly, which takes the form of an insert that slides into the skeleton of the pistol. Significantly, this is the key element of the weapon, on which the numbering is imprinted. Such a solution makes it possible to easily replace the skeleton with a different shape or color without having to register another copy of the weapon. In addition, the gun is based on proven design solutions that have become a standard among modern firearms. The model is available in black.

Mechanism of the gun's operation
The pistol is a classic weapon for 22 LR side-firing ammunition. Due to the low energy of the cartridge, a simple mechanism based on a fixed barrel and free breech recoil was used here. A return spring further reduces the sensation of recoil acting on the shooter.
Safety features and manipulators
The pistol has an adjustable wing fuse and an internal firing pin lock. The magazine release button is integrated into the base of the bail . Just above it is located a lever dropping the lock from its rear position after the last shot. A lever on the frame is used to unfold the weapon.
Aiming instruments
The weapon has adjustable, mechanical targeting instruments. They are in the form of a musket and a scimitar, and are equipped with green light guides for easy alignment and aiming.
The barrel used in the gun
A forged 102mm long barrel made of stainless steel was used here.
Capacious magazine and ergonomic grip
The gun has a polymer magazine for 20 cartridges + 1 in the chamber. The grip has an ergonomic angle and is covered with an anti-slip texture.
