The Dedicated S&W K-22 Target Masterpiece Thread

[Hammerdown]

Hello
I happen to love the famous K-22 revolver. To me there is no finer Target revolver made in .22 Caliber, and I have had a Colt but it did not shoot as tight as my K-22's. I have been into K-22's for over 25 year's now, and have Bought, Upgraded, swapped and kept the Ones I liked best. I had always wanted a First edition K-22 that was called The Outdoorsman. It was made from 1931 to 1939. I have come across them occasionaly over the years, but they are becoming far and few betwen. I was Lucky and Located this one early this spring, and grabbed it. It was shipped in March of 1936 and is wearing it's original factory grips. It had the Silver bead front sight and a glassy smooth action. let's see your K-22's and hear about them. regards, Hammerdown

Hammerdown,

Nice find. I have two K22's, one a -3 and another a -6. Both are in 95+% condition. Love the K22's myself. I'm receiving a K38 this week that's 98% that was made in 1950 as well.

JMusic has a few, we'll have to get some pics taken of them and throw them up here on this thread.

Anyone else have some K22's?

Hi
This is my Newest K-22. It is a model 17-5. This was the Only K-22 Model 17 that was made with a 4" Heavy barel. It was shipped in September of 1995 and they put the 4" Barrel on these for only a couple of years to phase out the Combat Masterpiece model 18, then switched to a full lug Barrel K-22, of which I have not found one yet. Regards, Hammerdown.
