Recently ran across this little gem. Always been intrigued by the design but never managed to acquire one. This one showed up at a price too good to pass up.
Weather here has not permitted a range trip yet unfortunately.

I had one of the 6" models. To be blunt, it was POS.
I hope yours shoots better and has a better trigger.

Don't forget to bring an empty 22lr case home with you for disassembly.

I have one of those! It was my first suppressor host. That nut around the muzzle can be replaced with an adapter that will mount the can. And then the sights are already high enough to use.

Works pretty slick. Let me see if I can find a pic

Well i hope I have better luck with this one! I have already had this one apart and the .22 case didn't work very good. found a small heavy wall piece of tubing cut to length worked much better.

Nice, how does your's shoot? The likelihood of me ever going the suppressor route is pretty slim but good to know I could with it.

Thanks, it's always been one of those "someday" guns. Hopefully it was worth the wait.

Mine is pretty reliable NOW. When I first got it, it started jamming bad, and I found that nut around the muzzle was loosening and it would start jamming. I’d tighten it, and it would work for a bit, then I’d tighten it and it would work again. After I put on the suppressor mount, it’s been 100%.

I love the mag release, and it’s pretty damn accurate.

Found an old video of the Kiddo shooting it with my .45 can attached. Here is a still from it

Thanks, appreciate the insight on the muzzle nut, I'll keep an eye on that.

Just an update. Finally got the 622 out to the range. Once we figured out what I had done wrong in reassembling it(Thanks Andy) it shot flawlessly through 100 CCI Mini Mags and an assortment of other flavors. Pretty much in love with this little pistol.

Nice
When you look for spare mags find the ones with orange followers they hold 12 rounds or early ones with steel followers.

I generally pick them up to flip but now I cant.....lol

I did buy one new factory mag with the pistol. Apparently they are a shared mag with the model 41 so still relatively available. Dang, now I need a 41 :lol:
