Hello
Last weekend my Father and I went to a very small Local Gun show in my Area. I have been Burned out on Gun shows due to most of them having more Flea-Market Trash and Beenie Babies, along with Beef Jerky rather than Good handguns, so it has been awhile since I went to any. This one has always been all Guns and it also has shown much Promise as I found that hard to Locate Early Post-War Transitional K-22 I am real fond of at it. It only has 135 Tables so it does not take long to ram sack it. I was on the Prowl for some more S&W factory wood grips, but sadly did not find any. I also Noticed that S&W classic revolvers are Through the roof on price. As I was walking out of it, I came across a Guy I know that usually always has some decent S&W's and I Noticed he had a small Pistol rug he was carrying. I asked if he had anything I may like today ? and he replied Just a .22 S&W Pistol as he handed me the Gun rug I expected to see a Model 41. I was shocked when I Opened it and saw a Real Nice Model 422 .22 Pistol with Two Magazines. I asked what he needed for it, and he replied $325.00. I quickly zipped the rug and handed it back to him thanking him for showing it to me. :eek: As He took it back, He said "If you don't like my Price, what would you give for it " ? I Pulled out my Wallet and showed him Two Hundred dollar Bills. He stared at them for a moment and said "Well, Times are tough these days, Enjoy that S&W" as he handed it to me and took my Money. I did not waste any time getting the gun out to my Truck and Locking it up, as I have not bought any S&W's in a very Long time for $200.00.:p On the way home, I told my Father that this one was for my Wife. I was not aware of it, but my Wife really Liked the 2206 I had which is the stainless brother to this pistol, and I had swapped it off a few months ago, and she was madder than a Wet Hen when she learned I did that, so this would certainly make up for that Little Blunder. :banghead When I arrived home, I handed the gun rug to her. She was a bit shocked as she never expected to see another one of these Light weight neat Little .22 Pistols. These were made back in 1987-1997. They came either with Fixed sights called the field Model or adjustable sights and wood grips like this one and were called the target Model. They also made a 622 Like this that was stainless with a stainless slide and aluminum frame, a 2213 & 2214 One being blued and the Other stainless with 3" Barrels and fixed sights and lastly in this series was the 2206 which was all stainless. I never could figure why S&W quit making these Little Pistols as all I have had have been Tack drivers and fun to shoot and they all share the Model 41 magazines. I hope to get to the range today to see how well this one shoots. I have had all the fore Mentioned ones in the Past except the 622, But as tough as these are getting to find these days and given the fact my wife likes them, this one is a keeper. Who say's you Can's find any Deals these days at gun shows ?Hammerdown
