Canadian variant SR22?

I'm in the process of purchasing a used SR22, in Canada so various rules apply. In the picture it has the short slide with a long barrel that extends out past the end of the slide, with a threaded cap visible. Barrel length is stated to be 4.25" which is long enough to be legal in Canada (105mm, or 4.13" minimum barrel length). Serial number is 365-59592, which I think puts it around 2015, possibly prior to the release of the 4.5" version of the SR22. I wondered if this is a Canadian variant made by Ruger for the Canadian market, but there is no mention on the Ruger website. Anyone ever heard of such a thing?

The gun should be delivered next week so I would know more. My reading of the literature and the Ruger websites suggests that the Ruger threaded barrel is 3.5" with an add-on piece that converts the thread to a standard 1/2" thread for accessories. The total length is 4". The Twin Tech Tactial 4" barrel is actually 105mm long, so it may be what is in this gun. Their website mentions that it meets Canadian regulations.

Found an answer, or maybe two. Ruger Customer Service got back to my, and said it is a Canadian specific model number 03616, made in 2015. Googling that came back with an expired web page from a Canadian dealer, with this on it:

Ruger SR22 Rimfire DA/SA Semi-Auto Pistol - 22 LR, 4.5", Threaded Barrel, Black Anodize Aluminum Slide, Black Polymer Grip Frame, 2x10rds, Adjustable 3-Dot Sights SKU: RUGER-03616 Manufacturer part number: SR22P-CBT


And that led me to a Youtube review, that I can't post a link to.


So I probably have a short slide, 4.5" threaded barrel SR22. As far as I know they don't make 4.5" threaded barrels for any other model. Looking forward to getting it, and trying it out! It's for my wife, actually - she finds my MKIII Target too heavy to handle comfortably.
