Sig-Sauer P322 COMPENSATOR is a self-reloading pistol by Sig Sauer, adapted to .22 LR (5.6 mm) side-loading ammunition. This model was created as a sporting and cheaper-to-use alternative to the version adapted to centerfire ammunition and is equipped with a compensator. 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/silver.

Mechanism of the gun's operation
The pistol is a classic weapon for 22 LR side-loading 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.

The gun 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 left-hand lever on the frame is used to unfold the weapon.
Targeting instruments
The weapon has adjustable mechanical aiming instruments. They are in the form of a bow-tie and a scimitar. They are equipped with green fiber optics for easy alignment and quick homing of the weapon on the target.
The barrel used in the gun
