SIG this week lifted the curtain on a souped-up variant of its popular P322 series rimfire semi-auto pistol geared toward those looking for more performance. 
 
The new SIG Sauer P322 Comp builds on the standard 17+1 round basic model by shipping with both 25+1 and 20+1-round extended mags. It also has a threaded barrel complete with a factory-installed two-port compensator and a SIG RomeoZero Elite red dot optic. While the standard P322 is all-black or all-FDE with some assorted frame options, the P322 Comp is a two-tone model with a black grip frame and stainless slide. 
 

 
SIG describes the new P322 Comp as being a competition-ready .22 LR rimfire pistol with class-leading capacity. 
 
"When we brought the P322 to the market it was hailed for its ingenuity, quality, and value. Now the P322-COMP raises the bar on the entire .22 plinking experience,” said Tom Taylor, SIG's Chief Marketing Officer and EVP for Commercial Sales. "The P322 Comp ships with a factory-installed RomeoZero Elite red dot optic for fast target acquisition and is designed with a slide-mounted racker and sport takedown lever as value-added fun features, and a barrel-mounted compensator to reduce muzzle rise making the P322 Comp a fast, fun, and flat pistol to plink with."
 
With some feedback on how it performs, 22 Plinkster and The Humble Marksman have extended their first looks at the new pistol.
