    2213 - Newbie Questions

    Hi, a friend of mine just purchased a like new model 2213 chambered in .22LR that we are trying to learn more about. The pistol has a matt stainless finish.

    The serial number is: UAT9429

    Any idea what year this pistol was manufactured/shipped?
    How long was the model 2213 made?
    Are there any variations of the 2213?
    Is there anything specific we should know about this model? Things to look out for? Known issues with the 2213?

    We would really like to learn more of the 2213 history/background.

    Thanks in advance for any education!

    Hi oldiron1,
    the 2213 Sportsman is a 3" barreled Stainless steel, 8 shot magazine, pistol operating and assembled like the larger model 2206. The 2213 was manufactured from 1991 to 1999 and that serial number would indicate it was made around 1997 or 98. I am a fan of the 422, 622, 2206, 2213 and 2214 models. and would like to get a 2213 when I can find one. I believe that there was only 1 variation but the first 500 came with a soft holster. I was under the impression that the frame was alloy and it is alloy on the 2214 is it really 2 tone stainless steel?

    Thanks Jim! Good question, I'll have to look at the pistol again to confirm what kind of metal the frame is made out of. I'll try to post a picture when I can too.

    The basic design of all of those pistols in that class, I think are underrated. I have a 422 and really like it. Had one years ago and traded it off, so when I saw one in the local gun store two years ago I snapped it up.
