S&W Sleepers: Model 422 & 622
The Smith & Wesson Model 422 and 622 are "sleeper" .22 LR pistols from the late 80s/early 90s, offering excellent suppressor compatibility due to their unique eccentric bore design. This low-axis barrel significantly reduces felt recoil. The Model 622 features a stainless slide and aluminum frame for corrosion resistance, while the 422 uses blued carbon steel. Both are reliable plinkers, easily field-stripped with a spent casing, and represent great value.
