So just to clarify, all 22/32s are not kit guns. Originally as Dave said there were 22/32 Target guns with 6" barrel beginning in 1911 which is what the original poster has. Then it was introduced in a 4" version c.1936 hence given the moniker 22/32 Kit Gun; meaning something easier to stow in a fishing kit, hunting kit or trail kit, as Jack said.
