Easton, MD - RETAY is proud to announce the RA1522 Pistol, a compact .22LR semi-automatic platform designed for shooters who demand maximum maneuverability without sacrificing performance. The RA1522 Pistol brings RETAY's commitment to quality engineering to a versatile configuration perfect for recreational shooting, tactical training, backpack carry, and competitive applications where a shorter, lighter platform excels.
Built around a proven blowback system with a polymer frame and featuring an aluminum M-LOK forend, the RA1522 Pistol delivers exceptional handling in a compact package. At just 3lbs, 4oz pounds and with an overall length range of 16", this pistol configuration offers enhanced mobility for close-quarters shooting scenarios while maintaining the reliability and accuracy RETAY is known for. The 25 or 10 round magazine capacity ensures extended shooting sessions without frequent reloads, while the low recoil and economical .22LR ammunition make it an ideal platform for high-volume training.
"The RA1522 Pistol fills a unique niche in the market," said Michael Narus, VP of Sales for RETAY.

Whether you're running drills at the range, teaching new shooters proper fundamentals, or looking for a fun backpack gun for outdoor adventures, the RA1522 Pistol delivers the versatility you need. And with .22LR pricing, you can train extensively without breaking your ammunition budget."
