 "WAIT WHAT!? gently caress YOU AKION GLOCKS AREN'T WARM AND FUZZY!"  "Wait... that's not a Glock?"   So, I bought a 422. But this one has a bit of a backstory. This gun was bought by my dad in the 90's, and was the first gun I ever shot. I'd been asking him over the last few years to sell it to me, but he was hesitant to do so. Anyway, I posted in the General Questions thread that he had recently bought an NAA .22WMR derringer for carry, and that I was a bit concerned about the .22 WMR being suited for self-defense. After a few days chatting with him, he mentioned that the big issue he has is that he needs a gun he can carry in his pocket because of flexibility issues, and that he realized the .22 Derringer was a mistake. He also mentioned he really liked the Sig P238. Fast forward to me at the shooting range a few days ago and noticing they had a Sig P238 behind the counter. I called my dad up, and long story short we worked out a deal where he got a Sig P238 and I got $350 and the 422 (he legally bought the P238, so no straw-purchase shenanigans were involved). I came out of it with a 422 with a lot of sentimental value, and the warm, fuzzy feeling of knowing my dad isn't carrying a .22 anymore. Also, I really liked the P238 and may go get one for myself, now.

Nice buy! Every time I see a 422 here the longing starts again. My great-aunt has one that I get to borrow, though  . She has six inch version with the same grips, which is seemingly hard to find for a decent price around here. Now get an EWK barrel-nut and a can for instant  !

Oh man, 422s have a special place in my heart. It was my first gun I got when I was 15. It was suppressed and I shot the gently caress out of it, like thousands of rounds. Broke the firing pin too in the process. Sold it for a CZ-122, also suppressed which I proceeded to shoot the poo poo out of as well. So nice gun, really digging it! Made me feel warm and fuzzy inside

Gonna take it apart and clean it (for what is probably the first cleaning it's had in 10 years) tonight. Naramyth posted:422s oooowwwwwwn I definitely prefer the Target model over the Field model (Field has non-adjustable sights and plastic grips). I'd love a field model as a general-use .22 handgun, though.

Nice! My stepdad gave me a 422 for Christmas this year. NIB that he forgot he stuck under his bed a decade or so ago. I was gonna do a box thread but it would look the same as yours.

I have been looking at a beat to poo poo one in my local shop. They have it priced at $225 with a rough finish, 6" with plastic grips. Is it fun enough to bother getting it for $200?

They shoot very well, and the trigger is nice. I prefer the target model for the grips/sights, but for a generic plinker the field model is awesome as well. Magazines are shared across the 422/622/Model 41, so they are fairly easy to find. I also kinda have a thing for the barrel-down design, it's kinda cool to me.

Mad Dragon posted:It replaces the right-side grip. Ah, I see it now. I was originally looking at it like it clamped onto the frame inside the trigger guard. That's kinda neat.
