Mine looks just like yours and I bought it about the same time. I needed something inexpensive to travel with me to the range so I could inexpensively extend my range sessions after getting in the practice with my 686.

The pistol was absolutely reliable with every type of ammo I tried. The 6" barrel also allowed for some good velocity.

Then my house got broken into and the 622 was stolen along with my Winchester 1200 pump. Dallas PD calls me about a year later and says they recovered my 622 (would have preferred to get the shotgun back). The guy that had it was involved in a high-speed chase and the gun had some minor dings in it.

The biggest problem was that I couldn't get through a magazine without having a failure to fire. I sent it back to S&W in Houlton and they said they adjusted the disconnector. Didn't fix it. I replaced the springs and firing pin. Didn't fix it. It now sits in the safe. I may have to try and find a replacement, but the new Walther SP22 looks pretty nice.
