Description
The Smith & Wesson Model 422 is a lightweight, accurate, and well-balanced .22 LR semi-automatic pistol designed with sport shooters and plinkers in mind. Manufactured in the late 1980s through the mid-1990s, this pistol quickly earned a reputation for reliability and excellent handling.
This example features a blued steel finish paired with beautiful checkered wooden grips, giving it a classic appearance that also provides a comfortable hold. The 6-inch barrel delivers impressive accuracy, making it a strong choice for both range practice and small game hunting. Its low bore axis design helps reduce muzzle flip, allowing faster follow-up shots compared to other rimfire handguns.
