I wasn't aware of these, so thank you. I have a CS9, so I'll look into these!I really like the line of vintage S&W model pistols that are the easiest to convert the factory barrels with a threaded adapter.
Another plus is the low axis of the barrel, as you don't need to change the sights.
- S&W 622: Same alloy frame and barrel length options as the 422 but in a silver colored frame with a stainless steel slide.
- S&W 622VR: Same as the regular 622 but has a ventilated rib (VR) cut in the frame above the barrel. Made only in 1996 in limited numbers. Some made in Houlton Maine have a painted silver frame instead of anodized.
- S&W 2205: A blue steel variant introduced in the 1992 SHOT Show. Never entered mass production with only 15 manufactured.
- S&W 2206: Both the frame and the slide are stainless steel. That makes this model noticeably heavier than the alloy frames of the 422 and 622.
- S&W 2213: Short-barrel version (3-inch) of the 622. Also uses silver alloy frame and stainless steel slide. 8-round flush box magazine. The 10- and 12-round magazine of the full size works as well, but will extend from the bottom of the grip.
- S&W 2214: Short-barrel version (3-inch) of the 422 with blued alloy frame and blued slide. 8-round flush box magazine. The 10- and 12-round magazine of the full size works as well, but will extend from the bottom of the grip.

Well said exactly what kmk1012 said but... go with the MKIV one button takedown you will never look back !The Ruger MK or 22/45 series pistol have the smallest moving parts, hence my recommendation. I have a TX22, several different Ruger 22/45's, Ruger SR22, and have shot a Victory, G44, and several others. If you want the quietest, the Ruger is the way to go. Not nearly as much metal banging back and forth making noises. Pretty much only a bolt action is quieter.
These are a cool piece of history, and they come up on auction sites for ~200-300... almost bought one, until I saw the price of 8 rd magazines (~100+).I really like the line of vintage S&W model pistols that are the easiest to convert the factory barrels with a threaded adapter.
