This pistol is distinguished by two features: An integral rail along the top edge of the gun permits easy mounting of optical sights and other accessories. The gun's alloy frame and alloy-shrouded barrel help keep weight down for a full-sized pistol.
The Smith and Wesson Model 22S is identical in all respects, except that it has a stainless steel barrel, painted gray.
