The Rossi RS22P is a semi-automatic .22 LR pistol built on the RS22 rifle platform, with a 6-inch threaded barrel and 10+1 capacity. It has a polymer frame, a matte black carbon steel barrel, an AR-style pistol grip, and an aluminum optics rail for mounting a red dot. The pistol ships without a stabilizing brace and is suited to plinking, training, and small-game use.

Owners like the RS22P for cheap, low-recoil range time and treat it as a fun way to introduce new shooters to rimfire pistols. Reliability with the RS22 action is generally solid, though a handful of owners note it can be sensitive to cheaper .22 LR loads.

The AR-style grip and rail layout feel familiar to anyone who has handled an AR-15, and the light weight makes it easy to carry on a hike or hunt for small game. Some shooters find the threaded barrel makes it front-heavy without something mounted up front to balance it.

Compatibility with RS22 rifle magazines is a frequent plus, since owners can share magazines between the pistol and rifle. The common complaint is that the factory iron sights are basic, so most buyers plan on adding a red dot on the included rail.
