Description

Product Overview

The Rock Island Armory XT Magnum Pro is a purpose-built rimfire pistol designed for shooters who demand performance, capacity, and modern features in a .22 Magnum platform. Chambered in the potent .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) cartridge, this handgun pairs a 5-inch barrel with a 14-round magazine, offering a balanced package for extended range sessions, small game hunting, and rimfire competition. It is an ideal choice for recreational shooters, hunters seeking a capable small-game firearm, and those looking for a high-capacity, low-recoil training tool that mirrors the ergonomics of larger centerfire handguns. The XT Magnum Pro stands out by delivering the flat trajectory and increased energy of the .22 WMR in a reliable, feature-rich, and ergonomic design.

Key Features

• Potent .22 WMR Chambering: Utilizes the .22 Magnum cartridge, offering significantly higher velocity and energy than standard .22 LR, resulting in a flatter trajectory and improved terminal performance for hunting and target shooting.
• High-Capacity 14-Round Magazine: Provides ample round count for extended practice, competition stages, or field use, minimizing reloads and maximizing engagement time.
• Optics-Ready Slide: The slide is machined from the factory to accept a micro red dot optic, allowing for rapid target acquisition and enhanced accuracy without the need for aftermarket milling.
• Premium G10 Grip Panels: Features durable, textured G10 grips that provide a secure and comfortable hold in all conditions, offering superior traction over traditional polymer or wood grips.
• 5-Inch Barrel: The 5-inch barrel length optimizes the .22 WMR cartridge’s velocity potential, contributes to a longer sight radius for iron sight use, and aids in reducing muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots.
• Ergonomic & Reliable Design: Built on a robust frame with intuitive controls, the XT Magnum Pro is engineered for reliable cycling with the rimfire magnum round, emphasizing durability and shooter comfort.

Performance & Applications

For the small game hunter, the Rock Island Armory XT Magnum Pro serves as an exceptionally capable tool. The increased power of the .22 WMR cartridge, delivered through the stable platform of a 5-inch barrel pistol, provides ethical takedown power for varmints and small predators at extended ranges compared to standard .22 LR handguns. The high-visibility sights—or a mounted micro red dot—allow for precise shot placement.

As a training and recreational firearm, it excels. The minimal recoil and lower ammunition cost compared to centerfire rounds permit extensive practice on fundamental marksmanship skills. The pistol’s ergonomics and optics-ready capability allow it to closely mimic the handling and shooting experience of a duty or competition pistol, making it an excellent, cost-effective platform for honing trigger control and dot acquisition. Its 14-round capacity makes it a natural fit for rimfire pistol competition stages where round count is a factor.
