I've been on the lookout for a nice 4 1/2" adjustable sighted 422 for a while now.
This 6" fixed sight just kind of fell into my lap from a co-worker the other day, not really what I wanted, but I grabbed it for $250. Figure I'll get the thread adapter and see how it shoots suppressed. It's picky as hell about ammo as it sits. Any sources for an adjustable sight for one of these anymore?

Have you shot it yet? I have two fixed sight six inch 622s. They both shoot exactly to point of aim, no adjustable sights needed.
I also have a pair of 4 inch 422s, also fixed sights. They both shoot high. I've had adjustable sighted 622s and 2206s in the past. I prefer the fixed sight guns. |
| I've had one for the last 27yrs. I've shot it so much the slide cracked a few years ago. I sent it back to smith and Wesson and they fixed it with one of the last two slides they had left. The slide was painted so it is a lil off from my blued gun. I added a threaded adapter about 3yrs ago and it's still ran everything just as it always has. |

I had one exactly like yours back in the '90s. It was deadly accurate and shot anything I ran through it. Have you stripped it down good to clean and lube. How about the chamber, any peening from dry firing? I've only tried CCI Mini Mags which it likes, Remington GBs which it tolerates and Federal bulk pack which make it a single-shot. The jams all appear to be FTE related. |
| A few years ago mags for the 422 were going for like 40-50 each for used. Then midway got a run of new mags for 19.99 and grabbed some. OP change your mag spring, check and be sure it the right mag for that gun. In 27yrs I think I can remember one fail to feed after shooting like 1500rds of bulk that day. |
| Originals were ten round then for a few brief years made 12 round ( just prior to the awb) when that sunset they never went back to making 12's. I have four tens and one 12, and I still only load 10 as the couple of rare malfunctions I have had with the pistol were with the 12 rounder on the first or second round fired when loaded to 12. |

I don't mean to sound like I'm bitching about it, I really like this pistol and I'll make it work. I've wanted one for a long time and think I got a good deal on it, just don't have any experience with this model. Thanks for all the replies. I went with their 22A-1 model when I got mine. Better made, plenty of parts made, etc. Mine is the Target model with the bull bbl. Thing shoots almost as well as my Model 41 does. |

They are nice 22's very reliable, I have a adjustable sight 6" 422 and just picked up a like new in box 6" 2206 for $300.
New production 41 mags work just fine in them. Not a S&W snob I own plenty of other 22 Target pistols. S&W 422/622/2206 are just such a better gun than new production 22a's or Victory. |

I agree about the 422/622 being superior to the current crop of S&W 22 autos (except the 41).

Any guidance on where to find a thread adapter for a 2206? |

S&W no longer supports these models with parts. Firing pins, etc. are no long made nor inventoried. The story on these models is the firing pins break after a period of use. A gun with no firing pin is nothing but a paperweight. I would assume a machinist could make a firing pin? I went with their 22A-1 model when I got mine. Better made, plenty of parts made, etc. Mine is the Target model with the bull bbl. Thing shoots almost as well as my Model 41 does. I also have a 22A and couldn't be happier with it. Our club has a Victory model and so far so good. |
