Description

This lot features a Smith & Wesson Model 22A semi-automatic pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle, designed as a versatile target and recreational handgun. It is equipped with a 5.5-inch barrel featuring an integrated full-length Weaver-style top rail for optics and an adjustable rear target sight paired with a ramp front sight. The firearm is constructed with a matte black finished aluminum alloy frame and a steel slide, complemented by a textured black polymer wrap-around grip displaying the Smith & Wesson logo. Key markings include the manufacturer and location on the left side of the barrel as SMITH & WESSON HOULTON, MAINE U.S.A., while the left side of the frame is stamped with the Smith & Wesson logo and MODEL 22A UAR5884. The right side of the barrel specifies the caliber as 22 LONG RIFLE, and the frame includes the safety warning CAUTION: Capable Of Firing With Magazine Removed. This lot includes the original blue plastic hard case with a matching factory label and a verified total of two 10-round stainless steel magazines. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The pistol is in good used condition with visible signs of handling. The matte black finish shows thinning and silvering along the high edges of the slide and the Weaver rail, as well as some light scuffing on the flat surfaces of the slide. The polymer frame and grips remain in good order with intact texturing and only minor surface marks. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The semi-automatic action appears to function correctly, and the magazines show standard insertion wear on the stainless steel bodies. The factory plastic case shows typical exterior scuffs from storage.
