They began making the John M.

Renamed <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/stdgun.com\/sg22-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the SG22<\/a><\/strong>, it will feature the standard profile 6 5\/8 inch barrel, hardwood target grips, and fully adjustable rear sight to complement the front blade sight. The pistol will be made in their New Britain, Connecticut facility with hand-fitting by master gunsmiths. The pistol is shown below in a bone and charcoal color case-hardened finish. It will also be available in a royal blue finish. There is one major difference between the original Woodsman and the SG22 &#8211; the SG22 can handle both standard and high velocity .22LR unlike the original.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/unnamed-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/unnamed-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/unnamed-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/unnamed-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/unnamed-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/unnamed-940x705.jpg 940w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/unnamed.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of Standard Manufacturing Co.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Pricing and other options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>For an additional cost, the SG22 is available with factory scroll engraving, and each model SG22 is furnished with one 10-round detachable magazine.
