I've shot both and I would go with the 9422 just because they are a bit lighter. Both are built extremely well but the 39A's seem a bit heavier but more solidly built. They lock up like a bank vault when the lever is closed but the Winchesters are more like a Swiss watch IMO.... both are a pleasure to shoot but the Winchester also usually has a much nicer bluing job and polish. Can't really go wrong with either one and if my buddy will sell me back my 39A that I foolishly let go a long time ago I will have both again....


Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.
