I have always been a sucker for quirky pistols though and finally weakened sufficiently to buy a nice example (pictured below) at the last Bisley, Phoenix meeting. The 422 was apparently prone to miss feeds and burst fire consequently making it a bit of a failure as a reliable semi-auto. There was a very good reason for this short production period as the pistol has often been described as a “warranty nightmare” by those who are know a lot more about these things than me. 22, CO2 pistol designated the model 422 which was produced for a very short time (1969-1973). If it’s sheer fun rather than anything more serious you want, this pistol certainly ticks all the boxes.Ī little research revealed that Benjamin also attempted to provide some competition for the 600 with their own semi-automatic. Although primarily a spring air pistol enthusiast, I added a Crosman 600 semi-auto Co2 pistol to my collection about a year ago and haven’t been able to put it down since.
