Well, I already had the manual-

I bought a Sar B-6 which outwardly looks like a CZ 75 clone except for the polymer frame. I have the same trouble with it. Not much slide to get hold of. Other than that I really like the gun after adding traction grips.
 
I recall seeing one of these with a suppressor not too long ago on another forum.
IIRC the barrel is threaded making it illegal in certain places (states or countries). Which you really wouldn't think about just looking at it.

Being left handed, I had to be careful where I put my thumb. Too near the ejection port and it would cause the pistol to jam.
Many folks use them as suppressor hosts since it's relatively easy to replace the barrel bushing with a threaded adapter and the sights are already high above the bore.

It's not technically a threaded barrel, though, so I don't think they would be verboten until modified.

Yup, I found that top rail downright painful. There's actually an M41 tuner who will remove the top rail as part of his package.
Actually, I want to use the irons, so that is a nonstarter. Actually, just had a 'smith whack the long, thin barrel into a 'field barrel', and, of course, I'll use the irons. I've been keeping a longish cleaning rod in the gunbag, for those times I can't rack it.

Yeah, I put an adapter on my 622 in anticipation of the purchase of a suppressor but something else caught my attention and I never went through with the purchase.

Oh well, it's there if I ever follow through.

So, I might as well complete the set-

I've had the 422 for years and its always been a favorite, very reliable and accurate. Found the 2206 a couple months back at the gunshow and it's living up to expectations as well.
Just scored the 622 and picked it up today-

As a quick recap, the 422 is blued with aluminum frame, the 622 uses stainless steel bits with aluminum frame, and the 2206 is all steel. The 2206 also has some amenities like an anti-glare front sight and trigger overtravel-stop.
This particular 622 is the "Sport" model, which pretty much just denotes replacement of the standard S&W micrometer rear sight with a simple (and rather cheesy) plastic block-

Compared to the 2206-

Though not exactly rare, this series doesn't fall off trees anymore and I was happy to fork over 3 bills for this one, cheap sight and all-

I mean, I had the manual anyway, right? 😁
Super nice pistols!

Now it's time to find one of these or both 😁

The 2213 is one of the favorite Jerry Miculek S&W handguns.
