Smith & Wesson SW22 Victory Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Initial problems.

The SW22 pistol is excellent quality. I was surprised when my first attempt to fire the a round was unsuccessful. Turns out the bolt would not go into battery. I had to tap it forward 1/16" into place in order to proceed. Next round: same thing. It b

Great and fun pistol

I bought pistol one week ago. Couldn't ask for a better handgun. I have put around 600 rounds through it so far. Almost perfect except it doesn't like cheap ammo. Easy to clean, accurate, and I love the fiber optics. Really good for older eyes.

Great target pistol

I picked up this gun and took it home to clean before going to the range. I fired 100 rounds with the best accuracy I have ever had. The gun feels amazing in my hand. It is a beautiful gun with a very nice finish. The only downside I experienced was I had

Fine Performance, Typical S&W Quality

I purchased this from the excellent Missouri City Academy. I own several .22lr handguns, my favorite being the S&W M&P .22 full sized. This was on sale at a great price, and I'm delighted at buying it. It's much more substantial in the h

Great plinker

I bought this s few weeks ago and have ran 500+ rounds through it. Probably the best 22 pistol I have ever shot, fun accurate, great trigger and high quality. Super easy take down and cleaning. Only complaints are smallish grip (good ergonomics but have t

GREAT 22 FIELD PISTOL

I'm basically a Ruger guy, but this S&W Victory is a GREAT PISTOL. I have fired thousands of rounds through the pistol and almost no problems (1 or 2 failures to fire with very old ammo). Very accurate and well balanced in the hand. To the guy wh

Quality firearm for my needs

Bought on Friday and put 600 rounds through it on Saturday. Didn't matter what ammo I was using. All bulk from Win, Rem and Fed. With 100 rounds of CCI MiniMags thrown in the middle. Not a single failure. I always want to trust the manufacturer on pi

Great Shooter

After purchasing the SW22 on the recommendation of good review we are very pleased. The first time at the range we test fired 20 rounds each of 9 different brands of ammo. It functioned without one single problem. Firing from the 7 yard line every one of

Excellent gun

Bought this about 3 weeks ago! I have put about 400 rounds though the gun of various makes. The gun is accurate, bolt smooth, I have smaller hands so I will have to get an extension for the mag release. The safety is super sinsitive (which I don’t l

Excellent tack driver

I was in the market for a entry level target pistol for competition and being the S&W fan boy that I am, i needed no further convincing when I saw this pistol go on the Academy’s “hot deal” price. Overall the pistol is heavy & so

One of the best target pistols I've shot

I've had this gun for about 2 months and have fed it about 2k rounds. It has one of the best triggers out of the box of any gun I've shot. I recently shot a friend mark IV with an aftermarket trigger and the Victory out of the box is almost as g

Great Gun!

Just bought this gun. Read all the reviews and even watched Hickok45. So here is my take, Great Gun! I fired multiple brands of 22LR and the gun was flawless. I shot both slow and rapid fire. I actually tried to get the gun to jam to no avail. The gun is

Great Gun!

This is a great rim fire pistol! Fun and cheap to shoot. Mine has fired everything that I have fed it. Definitely invest in the after-market "Halo" slide ring though. The slide is a bear to rack without it. Had to send mine back to S&W for t

Best 22 pistol I have ever shot.

I have fired cheap ammo with not one malfunction. Everyone that has tried my gun wants one.

Great Target Pistol!

I bought mine about 2-3 weeks ago. I've fired 1200-1300 rounds, mostly Aguila. Initially, the pistol would not eject any brand rounds. I made a minor adjustment to the ejector and have had no issues since. It is MUCH more accurate than I am! I would

Good Enough

The sights are a help to old eyes. No trouble hitting two inch target at 15 and 30 yards. No issues with three different ammo brands. Trigger guard interferes with people who have big hands or fingers but a non-issue. Grip feels good. Reduced load "q

Nice pistol

I bought this pistol a few days ago. I have only shot about 500 rounds so far but the gun has been flawless. It is very accurate out of the box, extremely easy to disassemble and reassemble , the trigger and sights are great. I think it's a very nice

Great target gun

I was thrown off a little the first time I took this pistol to the shooting range because a had shot 50 rounds thru a Taurus Judge before I took it out of my bag. After I go going I moved my target back 5 yards and was blown away be the accuracy of this f

Very accurate but a bit picky on ammo

Ok, probably a bit early to judge, but purchased and initially ran the Winchester m22 ammo with no issues...then came the CCI quiet-22. Well, first shot was a FTE; then the next...in fact, it seemed it was always FTE. Ran 150 rounds of federal range...no

Spanner wrench screw bad design

The spanner bolt screw that the small hex screw that you unscrew to take barrel off unscewed from the barrel leaving hex screw in the spanner screw. Looks like they used loktite as red color on thread but it didn't hold the screw in place. Other than

Troubles right away.

Maybe its just my bad luck, but I purchased this hand gun and took it to the range right away. First it would not fire at all, nothing, so I had the Range Gun Smith to take a look at it. He said it would probably require better ammo, so we used the more e

Unable to use

Purchased the gun, attempted to clean and oil it and the take down bolt head stripped. Not sure if the bolt is cross threaded or just over tightened from the factory. Called S&W today and it will be at least a 3 week turnaround before I can even try o

It cycles everything (from match to high velocity type). The trigger is nice. It breaks at slightly below 4lbs with a small, but predictable creep. It's also very accurate. From a rest it can do 0.75" or better at 25Y. The only minor issue was that the ba

Just received our new Smith and Wesson 22LR Victory pistol. Picked it up at Buds Gun Shop in Sevierville. Very smooth transaction. My wife and I went into the range and shot the first 100 Rounds through it. We used CCI mini mags. The gun ran perfect with

Outstanding product! S&W nailed it with this model. The SW22 Victory deliveries in terms of value, quality, feel, and accuracy. I have been looking for a dedicated 22lr for sometime, but was hesitant to pull the trigger on a Ruger or a Browning, mainly be

Around the time of the 2016 Shot Show I was looking to pick up a .22 target pistol for training purposes. Reviewed them all, Ruger, Browning, Beretta...great guns. The takedown and assembly on most of them however are a major drawback. Plinkster had a rev

The transaction with Bud's was very smooth, and I am very happy with my purchase of this pistol. I have a half-dozen handguns, and the Victory has quickly earned the title of "most fun to shoot" of any gun I own. It's the combination of great fiber optic

Got this 22 S&W victory in about 5 days. Cleaned and lubed it. At the range I ran about 150 rds of various 22 lr rounds. All functioned perfectly. Shot at 30 ft. All 1.5 in left. Will have to adjust this later. This S&W is very accurate and well built. I

LOVE LOVE LOVE this plinker.. accurate out of the box, quick and simple take dawn and just gorgeous!

One failure-to-feed in each of the first three magazines. After that, flawless for the next 470 rounds I have run through it. Very smooth, definitely a quality piece.

This is my second purchase from Bud's on the 90 day lay away plan and went just as smooth as the first. This 22 plinker is awesome. I have put 200 rounds through it with no malfunctions what so ever using CCI mini mags copper clad and lead. The accuracy o

Picked up this lovely .22 at a local ffl. Between buds and them, I saved a total of $60 rather than going to a local gun shop and picking up this piece (which most said was on back order due to being very popular). Anywho, took this for a spin at the ra

I ordered the s&w victory online and four days later I got the email to pick it up.I went to buds,they checked the gun and I waqs out of there in a few minutes.Buds is always great I have made many purchases.They aqre always the lowest prices and the best

Love the gun. Shoots well and is well balanced. very fun to shoot. Plan on buying a second one.

I have take this to the range twice now and I've run about 300 rounds through it. Very very accurate. Very reliable. No failures. And best of all, one of the easiest 22 autopistols to clean I've ever owned. S&W has really hit a home run with this design.

Great gun, as described it comes with a big value for the price... The fact that it can be easily modded is a big +

Another home run from SW! I took the Victory out to the range after picking it up at my FFL dealer and it exceeded my expectations and I'm not easy to impress! Everything about the pistol is competition ready! After 200-300 rounds there are no ftf's or ft

Received my new S&W Victory yesterday.Wanting to clean it before shooting and having read a previous review I tried to remove the barrel using the hex wrench.Like one of the other reviews I read I could not for the life of me get the the nut to turn. Not

I am a fan of Hickok45 and saw him review the Smith and Wesson Victory 22lr on his YouTube site. I was impressed and as I was in the market for a 22 cal. target pistol, I went to my local gun shops in the hope of purchasing one. None of the shops had them

Best 22 Pistol I have every fired. Great build quality and very accurate. Enough said.

Bud's delivers as usual. Ordering, shipping, and communication can't be easier. As for the Victory pistol, wow! Gave this gun a basic inspection, wipe down, and lube, and off to the range. 450 flawless rounds later in one sitting, I might add, I'm a happy

like the SW victory shoots good and is well made...

As always, Buds does a great job getting shipments out fast. As for the gun, I couldn't be more happy, shoots great and the takedown is very easy. I've read other review's about having problems getting the takedown screw out, but I had no problems.

The SW Victory is an awesome pistol. The whole family loves shooting it. We have put hundreds and hundreds of rounds through it. Of course there's been some malfunctions but I blame that on ammo not the gun. You can not go wrong with the Victory.

Unfortunately, I experienced a severe ejection problem right out of the box. I tried 3 different ammo brands (CCI, Federal and Remington) with same result, i,e, would jam every 3-4 rounds. However, I have been very impressed with S&W's customer service ef

nice little pistol good price good looking too shoots good.

First range session just finished. Used my "worst" ammo for the first shots. First two rounds required clearing Next 8 were O.K. After that it ran 4 brands I had on hand without a hiccup. Grouping was good to excellent and POI was ammo dependent. Trigger

What I expected in the way of quality from S&W- wasn't disappointed. Very accurate, reliable, and seem to not be finicky about ammo. Really easy to do routine cleaning on, with basically one hex bolt disassembly.

I bought this S&W Victory 22 pistol last month. It looked good with a very nice satin finish on the stainless steel frame, slide and barrel. It has a solid feel to it and has an easy take down feature. I cleaned the pistol as soon as I got it home. The sl

Excellent gun, quality build and at a very good price!

This is a fun firearm to shoot. I would however consider purchasing the Ruger MK IV. I believe it is a far better pistol.

This little S&W is a tack driver. Put over 500 rounds thru it with no hangs or mis-feeds. Bud's shipped pistol with no issues. I can't think of another online gun store that can beat their prices with shipping included. Very trustworthy and reliable. Than

This is one fine, accurate and fun to shoot pistol. I bought this for plinking and it is perfect for that. I absolutely love S&W products and have never had a bad one. This pistol exceeded my expectations for being a target pistol. With a small amount of

all I expected did my homework on this one very heavy great finish,fiber optic sights shoots nice and accurate.i own 9 22s ,walther smith ,ruger,beretta,naa,issc,etc. so far my favorite of all buy it from buds very professional bunch easy transactions ffl

As usual, outstanding purchase experience with Bud's!! I really enjoy this gun, although a little odd looking it's design is outstanding and breakdown is very easy using a wrench lending to extremely easy cleaning. Trigger is very good and accuracy is sup

The only things stopping me from giving this little pistol five stars is the fact that the magazines have to be loaded just so or a cartridge gets lengthwise and can be annoying to set right. Practice does help, however and I can load them pretty easily n

This is a solid firearm and it's accurate. The takedown for cleaning is very easy involving the removal of just 1 screw with an included Allen wrench. I had a problem initially with the intermittent ejection of brass, causing stoppages. S&W set up a retur

S&W Victory 22 Got it for the wife, as usual no issues with the purchase, thanks Buds. She (ok we) shot it right out of the box, We both loved it. As a woman she liked the that is was comfortable in her smaller hand, she also liked the sights, immed

Just put 250 rounds, federal champion 40grain, had 4fte on the first 100rnds. I also noticed after I fired the 100rnds, that the main screw that holds the barrel and lower became loose, although it still kept shooting accurately. Overall, I love this gun!

Very well made. Fits my hand well. Adjustable sights a real plus compared to competitive products. works well.

Good gun really like the fiber optic sights very accurate easy takedown to clean shot 200 rounds of federal auto with no failure to eject very satisfied with this gun .

This is a great starter pistol that's crazy competition accurate. I introduced my youngest and is not to loud and very minimal recoil.

I love it. high quality finish. Awesome trigger. Comes with 2 mags, sights are clear and its a blast to shoot. There is a bit of a lip between chamber and feed-ramp, which probably explains the jams, but that is fairly common with 22's. Little Dremel acti

I absolutely Love him. Fantastic first handgun purchase, Great gun.

Love it! Arrived quickly. First time out had some fte issues but hundreds of rounds later not a single failure. Sweet!

Very fun gun to shoot. It is extremely easy to take apart in order to clean or replace/update parts. The fiber optic sights are easy to see, the trigger out of the box is fairly good and this gun has good balance and feels great in my hands. I have around

Nice little tack driver. Easy takedown and cleaning. The included picatinny rail is a nice touch. Put hundreds of rounds through it and nothing bothers me about this gun.

Added reflect red dot, use regularly in steel challenge. Still purring like a kitten after 2000 rounds.

This is an excellent handgun and very accurate! Also, the takedown process is very easy.

Really good 22lr pistol cycled Aguilar ammo federal ammo eagle ammo perfectly no jams very accurate pistol shot from 15 yards away easy cleaning and easy disassemble

After researching prices for a Smith & Wesson SW 22 Victory I went with Bud's. They had the best price, website and it arrived on time. This particular model was between $409 - $600 everywhere else I looked. Bud's had it for $359. I will return for my

I won't able to shoot no even 2 rounds with my victory .22, brand new out the box, jam,jam,jam I used CCI and remington rounds, very disappointed, I sent it back to the smith& wesson about two weeks ago and I still waiting for my gun to try again, I hope
