Key features
- Threaded barrel (1/2×28) — Why it matters: You can attach a suppressor or compensator to reduce noise and muzzle rise, making the gun quieter and easier for beginners to control.
- Optic-ready slide with serrations — Why it matters: The RMR/RMSc footprint lets you mount a red dot without milling the slide, and the serrations give you a sure grip when racking the slide — even with sweaty or gloved hands.
- Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish — Why it matters: This durable coating resists rust, scratches, and wear, keeping the slide looking sharp through thousands of rounds at the range.
- 13+1 round capacity — Why it matters: You get plenty of trigger time between reloads, which is ideal for training drills or family plinking sessions.
- Black Cerakote polymer frame with accessory rail — Why it matters: The rail accepts lights or lasers for low-light shooting, and the polymer frame keeps the pistol lightweight — only 15.2 oz unloaded.
Who it’s for
This Retay RXP is perfect for families teaching teenage or adult beginners how to shoot safely. The .22 LR recoil is light, the threaded barrel works with a suppressor for hearing-safe training, and the optic-ready slide makes it easy to add a red dot for faster target acquisition. Experienced shooters will also appreciate it as a budget-friendly trainer that mirrors the controls of a full-size centerfire pistol.
Pros / cons
- Pro: Affordable price — under $250 for a threaded, optic-ready .22 pistol.
- Pro: Lightweight at 15.2 oz — easy for new shooters to hold steady.
- Pro: Cerakote finish adds durability and corrosion resistance.
- Con: The slide is steel and may feel a bit heavy for some shooters when racking it, though the serrations help.

The Retay RXP is the clear choice for budget-conscious families who want a threaded, optic-ready .22 trainer.

If you want a lightweight, affordable pistol for teaching new shooters or for plinking, the Retay delivers without breaking the bank.
FAQ
What optics fit the RMR/RMSc footprint on this Retay RXP?
This slide accepts red dots with the RMR or RMSc footprint — that includes popular models like the Trijicon RMR, Holosun 407K/507K, and Shield RMS. Always check the optic manufacturer’s manual for screw length and plate requirements.
Is the barrel on the Retay RXP truly threaded for a suppressor?
Yes. The barrel has standard 1/2×28 threads, which fits most .22 caliber suppressors and compensators. Per Retay USA specs, the barrel is threaded and protected by a thread cap when not in use.
Can I mount a light or laser on the accessory rail?
Absolutely. The polymer frame has a single-slot accessory rail that accepts most standard pistol lights and lasers. It’s a great way to add visibility for low-light shooting or home defense training.
What is the weight of the Retay RXP22BLKFDES13TH?
It weighs 15.2 ounces unloaded, per manufacturer specs. That makes it one of the lightest .22 LR pistols with a threaded barrel and optic-ready slide on the market.
