I haven't had a K-22 Masterpiece in quite a few years. The last one was a pre-17 from the late 1940s I should have kept. I've considered getting another, but I already have other .22 handguns I don't shoot much, seven at last count, so it's not a high priority. But at the right price I would be tempted. My present personal favorite .22 is a high condition Ruger standard model, ca. 1954.
