Quick and dirty from memory

422 "Blue" version, aluminum frame, 4 or 6 inch barrel, fixed or adjustable sights. Fixed sight guns have black plastic grips, adj sight guns have checkered wood grips.

622 Silver/Stainless version of above

2206 Same as 422 but with stainless frame, much heavier.

2213 and 2214 pocket versions in blue and silver, aluminum frame

I have a 4 inch 422 and a pair of 6 inch 622's, all fixed sights. I love 'em, super lightweight and mine function as well as any .22 pistol, meaning they work as long as you run decent ammo.

The 4 inch 422 could use a front sight that's just a smidge taller. The 6 inch 622's have a front sight with a vertical stripe (like some XS sights), on both of them the sights are dead nuts and I really like the sights.

At one time I had a pair of 2206's, 4 and 6 inch. But they were so heavy I always carried a 422 or 622 instead. And I didn't shoot them any better than the 622's so they went down the road, and I do not miss them.

About the only negative is that holsters are not common. I tote mine in a cheapie clip on nylon (Uncle Mike's type) holster.

Also, with the barrel riding low in the frame, these make good supressor hosts. A guy who goes by HOT ROD on the rimfire and AR15 forums sells a replacement barrel nut that is threaded for a supressor.
