I've got a few, lost count when I passed 20...

They are a great gun, easily suppressed.

My Custom creation, 2213/2214 barrel, in a cut down 422 frame:

Those ventilated rib guns are getting pricey. The four inch vent rib is pretty scarce. Nice collection SS
Bought a new 2213 from Outdoor America back in the day. I think it was $192, wish I had that one back...

Thanks

It's interesting, 622VR 6" is a bit lower these days, a nice one just went on GB for $595, they have been up in the $700-$800 range.

The 4.5" is stupid expensive, there is a trashed out one on GB with a BIN of $750 and he will probably get it.

The 2206TGT(upper right) still gets a great price though, they aren't showing up much anymore.

I'm thinking about thinning the heard, I might turn loose of a 2213 no box, but nice shape, but not for $192.

The 2213/2214 mags are like gold these days, seem to fetch $75, some people are asking $130 for a new in package mag. The full size mags fit them so I just run a 12 round mag instead of the factory 8 round, just sticks out a little.

Is that a model 61 escort in the middle?

Had one for a while, liked it, but always found it to be way too light. Guess I was more accustomed to the Rugers I had. Ended up selling it after my daughter was born.

It is! That's a -3, for all of the issues they had, that one runs great. Some don't know that the 422/622/2206/2213/2214 were based on the design.

Had a nickel 61 at one time. Mine cycled great

That seems to be the situation, they either run great, or they don't. I'd like to pick up a nickel one, they go for way too much(IMO) as well.

Mine is a blued 422 and it is the only semi-auto .22 pistol I own. Such a terrific gun and so easy to keep clean. I had a Browning Camper but quickly sold it.
