I like it. I'll get a TB version to use with my suppressor in the backyard.

I had a Colt Cadet many years ago but it didn't hold a candle to my much older Colt Woodsmans. Got rid of it. It kinda resembled this 'new' .22. I think I'll keep my sexy 41 Smith and my Colt Match Targets. Just because it's a low cost, entry level firearm doesn't mean that it has to be a webley/studebaker kind of thing. And before you gig me I had a Stude V8 Lark and several webleys in the safe.

I just watched the promo video online, so I'll just add a couple of notes based on that.
The promo video states that it comes with a picatinny rail.
The grip apparently has removable side panels, so I think it may be different from the 22A.
The promo video mentions that it will be compatible with aftermarket barrels. I found that unusual to mention in a promo video, and I wonder if there are aftermarket parts already in the pipeline.
I am a big fan of my Ruger .22 pistols, so I doubt I will be changing, but honestly I am already looking forward to shooting one of these.

At least they didn't rip off Kel-Tec...
Yeah,way over $1000 MSRP for the 41.
I think that it will sell well.SS frame,not alloy or polymer,other SS parts as well,and a low MRSP.
...If I didn't have two 41s already,....maybe.;-P

I would guess either the top (rear sight) rib is drilled/tapped, or removable for optics (or surprised if it is not).
Video on the S&W site says it comes with a picatinny rail.
Please, forgive me, but....
Yuck. That is one ugly pistol.
I thought Glocks were bad, but this..... wow.
Excuse me, I need to go stare at some J-frames for a while.

Let's see now. When I already have a S&W 41, a Ruger Government Mark II target, two High Standard space guns and a Colt Woodsman Match Target, why on earth would I want such an ugly gun that can't decide if it's a Ruger or a Type 14 Nambu?
Aesthetics count. Particularly if says S&W on it. Ugh. Take the designer down to the river and take care of him, Luca.

I have a 22A also. Don't shoot it often but I do like it even though it's not too pretty. The trigger on mine is scarily light. When I switch from my 9mm and 40 cals I have to remember to be aware of how light the trigger is.
It will eat any kind of ammo that my friends much more expensive guns won't.
I kinda like the looks of the new Victory but I don't need another 22 cal. pistol right now since I am gun poor already!

Think I'll pass on that one. I'll stick with one of these:
So would I if money isn't an object. If it is, you will probably be able to buy 3 Victories for the cost of one M41.

Well I am going along with not the best looking pistol to come along. However there are some nice attributes, fiber optic front and rear sights, looks like not much of slide to worry about for recycling so that would make it a lot more adaptive to perhaps standard to high velocity ammo. Seems there are a lot of 'ammo sensitive' 22's around and this one likely is not one of them.........a good thing for sure.
Take down seems very easy unlike Ruger's system. Retail price point is $409-$429 so mid to upper $300's on the street??
Could be just an 'ugly good shooter'
I'm a little partial to this one I have but would love to shoot the new S&W!

You think J-frames are pretty? Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

It looks like a cross between a ruger and a buckmark to me but interesting. Would like to hold one.

You know what's pretty to me? -- A whole bunch of holes very close together on the target...
This gun looks very much indeed like a marriage of the buckmark with a ruger 22/45 grip.
Its accuracy would be far more important than its presumed aesthetics

Does Victory spell the end of the 41?
I talked to a service tech at SW yesterday (1/8/16), inquiring about the lack of 7" Mod 41 SW made barrels available from anyone, and if the factory had any insight about when they might produce a run (needing one, obviously). I did not get encouraging news, and they even intimated that the Victory might be the end of the 41. Also mentioned was a Volquartsen-barreled Victory coming right from SW now or in the near future. Kept suggesting that this is the future for SW target .22's.
Stated that hundreds of 41 barrels are on BO, and that they are not accepting any more orders for barrels. Even suggesting that aftermarket manufacturers might be where I need to turn.
Anyone have any clues about the future of the 41 and barrels?

Hi All...Newbie here. It does look just like my 22A-1 with a thinner barrel profile. Like others said, I'll stick with my 41 and 22A-1, which I do really like. FWIW, here is the Volquartsen link with barrels for this new SW22. With one of these and a proper trigger, it may be worth consideration...or it may not. https://www.volquartsen.com/tags/52-sw-22-victory
