I will agree with the others that have posted favorably for the 422 and the other pistols in the series. While there certainly are better looking .22 pistols on the market I doubt you will be disappointed once you fire them. My 422 came with nice wood grips and adjustable sight and is very light weight. It shoots great and is easily as accurate as my Ruger Mark II & III pistols. My 2206TGT keeps up and / or surpasses my friends Model 41 at a fraction of the cost. Magazines can sometimes be an issue as some won't work in all of the series even though they are supposed to be interchangeable. Recent production S&W magazines in the black and red, M&P labeled packages have been good for me but I had troubles with some in the traditional SW blue labeled packages. I only wish the front sight was removable to allow for a fiber optic or gold bead. You can always add some paint on the front blade if desired. If the price and condition are good, I would definitely recommend you join the club.
