Product Overview

The Rock Island Armory XT Magnum Pro is a modern, feature-focused rimfire pistol built for shooters who demand performance and versatility. Chambered in the potent .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR) cartridge and featuring a 5-inch barrel, this handgun bridges the gap between standard .22 LR plinkers and larger centerfire calibers. It is an ideal choice for recreational shooters, varmint control, and those seeking a high-capacity, low-recoil platform for skill development. With its 14-round magazine capacity and ergonomic design, the XT22 Magnum Pro is engineered for extended range sessions and practical application where reliability and shot placement are paramount.

Key Features

• Potent .22 WMR Chambering: The .22 Magnum cartridge delivers significantly higher velocity and energy than standard .22 Long Rifle, offering improved terminal performance for small game and extended range on steel targets.
• Optics-Ready Slide: The slide is machined from the factory with a mounting interface for micro red dot optics, allowing for rapid target acquisition and enhanced accuracy without the need for aftermarket milling.
• Premium G10 Grip Panels: The textured G10 grips provide a secure, non-slip hold in all weather conditions. This composite material is renowned for its durability and aggressive texture, ensuring positive weapon control.
• 14-Round Magazine Capacity: Offers ample round count for extended shooting, reducing reload frequency during training or pest control scenarios. The high capacity leverages the compact nature of the .22 WMR cartridge.
• 5-Inch Barrel: This barrel length optimizes the .22 WMR cartridge’s velocity potential, contributing to a flatter trajectory and improved accuracy at distance, while maintaining a balanced and pointable feel.
• Durable Construction: Built on a robust frame with a focus on reliable function, this pistol is designed to handle the unique pressures and cycling requirements of the .22 Magnum round consistently.

Performance & Applications

Recreational Shooting & Training: The XT22 Magnum Pro excels as a high-fun-factor range gun. The minimal recoil and muzzle report, combined with the affordability of .22 Magnum compared to centerfire ammo, allow for extensive practice on fundamental marksmanship, drawing, and optics use. The platform is an excellent tool for introducing new shooters to semi-automatic pistol mechanics with manageable performance.

Small Game & Varmint Control: With proper shot placement and appropriate ammunition selection, the .22 WMR is a respected cartridge for harvesting small game like rabbits or for dispatching pests on the property. The pistol’s handgun format offers maneuverability in tight spaces like a truck cab or barn, where a rifle would be cumbersome. The 5-inch barrel helps ensure the round performs within its effective parameters.

Skill-Building & Transition Platform: For shooters accustomed to centerfire handguns, the XT Magnum Pro serves as a capable training analog. Its similar manual of arms, optics-ready capability, and ergonomics allow for affordable, high-volume practice that directly translates to handling larger calibers, making it a smart addition to any serious shooter’s stable.
