Are You OnPoint?

Today, I’m going to share something very special with you, my friends.  This is the absolute FIRE in my opinion:  the Smith & Wesson 622 and its baby brother, the model 2214.  First off, S&W doesn’t make these any more and they’re not for sale.  The aforementioned model 622 is a family heirloom as far as I’m concerned.  After all, it was my first real firearm– given to me by Mom on my 12th birthday.  How cool is my Mom, right?

These guns are incredibly accurate and intuitive shooters.  First of all, their single action only triggers are short and sweet. You can really rattle off the rounds in short order.  You’ll notice that the barrel is positioned very low on the weapon– exactly where you index your finger on the frame.  This makes the pistol effortless to point. It’s a fixed barrel too, so that only enhances accuracy more. The slide is very easy to rack, making the gun an ideal choice for younger shooters… particularly 12 year old Evans. The sites are adjustable for elevation and windage on the Model 622 and fixed on the compact 2214.

Last night we made some modifications to these pistols and brought them into 2010.  We cranked up the torch and removed the Locktite on the barrel nut.  Once that was done, we installed thread adapter nuts and cranked on a pair of cans.  And by cans, I mean Advanced Armament Corp Silencers: the Element and Aviator models, respectively.

As you can see, the 622 and 2214 are great platforms for sound suppressor due to the low orientation of the barrel.  Your sight picture is completely uninterrupted by the silencer! My buddy Frank just happened to be wearing Armani today, so he we coaxed him into the photo shoot.  He’s a good sport.   The dogs are Shiba Inu, Sasha and Snoopy–a really polite and well-behaved little breed.  [ click here for the photo gallery ]

Have a good one and God bless! — Evan
