I have a 6" 422 field model with the plastic grips that I bought new when they came out in the 80s and while the box and paperwork are long gone I do still have the breakdown tool that it came with. I also have the two original 12 round mags that it came with and over the years have managed to find 6 additional 12 round mags all of which fit perfectly in two military surplus 1911 mag pouches. Since buying it I've put 1000s of rounds through it and it's always operated flawlessly and everyone that has shot mine is surprised at it's light weight and impressive accuracy. Though I've had many offers to sell it it's not for sale and will go to my grandson who loves shooting it.

I own a 422 6" barrel wood grips with adjustable rear site. I find it enjoyable to shoot. When i used it to qualify for my CPL the range officer asked to shoot it when we were done. He tried to buy it from me after he shot it.

422, 622, 622VR 2214, 2213, 2206, 2206TGT are the variants. Excellent handguns. Yes they are considered to be S&W's best kept secret.. Quite accurate in each variant. Great video.
Glad you liked it. I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching and if you haven't already, I hope you'll check out my other "Mick Mac" Tabletop Review videos on TH-cam.
I am rather gobsmacked. My 2206TGT variant stopped ejecting cartridges (apparently a common issue with this series). At their invitation, I sent it to S&W under their “lifetime” warranty. I just got it back today along with a form doc saying the pistol is beyond repair because it’s obsolete and they don’t stock parts! So, the gun’s lifetime is over. I have a paper weight in otherwise top notch condition. Incredible! Purely rhetorical question: if the gun was obsolete, and they didn’t have any parts for it, WHY did they instruct me to send them this firearm? I described the issue to them. They knew what model it was….this is nuts! I’m really slacked-jawed by this.
@@mikehartmann5187 There are folks out there that have parts... There are also several sources to pick up used parts. Contact me and I'll put you in contact. I run a FB page for the lineup where we share this info as well.
That was an excellent review, I’ve had one since 1990 and I’m embarrassed to say that it live in a safe for almost 25 years. I was a big fan of the Ruger Mark series and got a Mark 3 as soon as it came out so I could suppress it. Never realizing that the 422 was threaded and for $20 it could be adapted, since then it has been my primary got to 22 ( I live on 34 acres so it’s a working tool). One tip I’d like to share regarding the adapter, you need a specific tool to get good contact with the barrel lug to remove it. I believe it was like $15-20 + shipping. Instead you can Dremel one out of a flat head screw driver if you want.
Thanks for the feedback. Always appreciated. Brilliant suggestion about making a tool for the 422's barrel lug. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

As you say, they are indeed, great little shooters. The 622 is the stainless/Aluminum version of the 422 blue steel slide and aluminum semi auto 22 pistol.

I don't know about "have to", but most of the flags I have are red. However, orange is common. I also have a few guns that came with green flags. I think the idea is that they're suppose to be easy and quick to identify. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe.

During this video I probably should have mentioned that dry-firing the S&W 422 is "not recommended". But while a good general rule of thumb, "never dry-fire a rimfire 22" is probably an overstatement. See th-cam.com/video/CbWFjR2wMvg/w-d-xo.html for more information on dry firing facts and myths. It actually depends more on the manufacturer and gun model. For example, Browning Buckmark 22's, Walther P22Q and even the classic Ruger 10/22's are all fine to dry fire. If you consult the 422's owner's manual, even S&W says to clear a cocked gun by pulling the trigger on an empty magazine. While some manufacturers may warn against dry firing, "occasional" dry-firing is usually not a problem. That being said, I usually insert dummy rounds when demonstrating or testing. I did not on this 422. Sorry. Thanks for watching. If you haven't already, I hope you'll check out my other "Mick Mac" Tabletop Review videos on TH-cam.

Does the chamber flag have to be orange?

Never dry fire an empty rim fire!!!
