fn 502 tactical. msrp: $499

Personally I think a de-cocker on a 22LR semi-auto is important due to the strong hammer spring required to ignite rimfire primers, but other than that missing feature this full size pistol looks like a quality FN product that meets all the desired touch points for tactical use. Early Youtube reviews seem to point at minor cycling issues (quite normal for 22LR semi-autos when they first hit the market) but give it a year and these should be adequately ironed out by FN engineers. This from the FN website:

The FN 502™ Tactical isn’t just the first .22 LR from FN, it’s the industry’s first slide-mounted, optics-ready rimfire handgun that’s ever existed.

Designed for maximum fun, FN’s hammer-fired .22 LR delivers more accuracy and versatility than any other rimfire. Mounting a favorite red dot optic and cycling a wide range of .22 LR ammo makes a low-cost range day a high-end experience.

Inspired by FN’s patented Low-Profile Optics Mounting System, the FN 502 Tactical offers unmatched sighting options and co-witness front and rear sights align perfectly with your dot.

The superior ergonomics, proven balance and ambidextrous controls, all a nod to the FN 502’s bigger brother, the FN 509®, make it perfect for high round count training sessions. Like a robust target-style rimfire pistol, the design of the FN 502™ Tactical delivers faster, more accurate shots on target from a modern, optics-ready tactical pistol.
