The first gun I ever shot was likely the 1955 K-22 up in my safe so I've always understood the attraction.

On our local gun forum there was a guy advertising about a dozen guns that he had inherited.
Two of them were S&W revolvers, this K-22 and an older M43. Both of them are all original, with some honest holster wear. He had both of them listed for $550 each for a couple of weeks and I made him an offer of $900 for the pair. He took it so they came home with me.
I wanted to see why the K-22s are so popular, and figured if I didn't like either of them I could probably sell them and at least get my money back. Now that I've shot it, I'm pretty sure this one has a permanent home with me.
In fact, I'll probably keep them both, but I may sell my much higher condition M43 now that I have another shooter-grade one to plink with. Maybe.
