Smith & Wesson Model 2206 Stainless 6” .22 LR Semi-Auto Pistol – 1990s Production
Built entirely from stainless steel, the Smith & Wesson Model 2206 delivers full-size handling with rimfire economy. Produced for only six years, this 6-inch variant combines a low bore axis, adjustable target sights, and a straight-blowback action that shooters appreciate for its reliability and accuracy potential. Collectors value the all-steel construction and limited production run, while trainers favor its familiar 1911-style balance in a soft-recoiling .22 LR platform.

The Model 2206’s 6-inch fixed barrel is machined with a lightening rib, enhancing balance while preserving the rigidity sought by Bullseye competitors. A pinned serrated ramp front sight pairs with a micrometer-adjustable rear sight for precise elevation and windage adjustments.
Its straight-blowback, single-action mechanism delivers a crisp trigger break that lends itself to deliberate target work. The internal hammer keeps the slide profile clean, and the ambidextrous safety lever provides positive engagement for both right- and left-handed shooters.
A heel-style magazine release locks magazines securely during bench or slow-fire strings, reducing the chance of accidental drops. The one-piece wrap-around polymer grip is checkered for consistent purchase without adding unnecessary bulk.
Because Smith & Wesson produced the stainless 2200-series for a relatively short window (1990–1996), examples in functional condition remain in steady demand. This pistol’s matching TEU prefix serial confirms its placement within the original manufacturing block, adding traceable authenticity for collectors.
