Well, I'm certainly not an expert...so it's very possible that I'm wrong. But...if the slide on the 622 isn't stainless (I *know* the frame is not), then...what is the purpose of the "6" in 622? If it were carbon steel that was merely coated to give a lighter finish...wouldn't it have still been a 422?

And, I'm fairly certain that I've read in the past that the slide on the 622 is stainless...was I misinformed? I really hate when I *know* something...and then I find out that I didn't know it at all!
