Default 12 Step program for K-22 obsession

I posted this another thread but it was kind of a hijack so am posting it here.

There is a 12 step program available for K-22 addiction, it goes kind of like this:

Step 1: Shoot a K-22 for the first time and realize you need one.

Step 2: You find a nice one for sale, run the purchase past the Smith-Wesson forum junkies, buy the gun.

Step 3: You go to the range and before you know it you put half a brick downrange and wonder why you didn't buy one of these sooner.

Step 4: If your first gun is a 6", you decide that you should have a 4" to go with it. You rationalize this by stating that the 4" will be a good practice gun for your 4" centerfires. (If your first gun was a 4" just swap 4" and 6" in the above, works the same).

Step 5: Well now that you have 4" and 6" guns you think you are done with K-22's. Then you get to shoot a friends Outdoorsman.

Step 6: You scour the various sale sites for a nice Outdoorsman, find one, buy it. Rationalization-they are only going up in value, it is a good investment.

Step 7: You are on the SW forum and someone posts photos of the really sweet long tube he/she just got. You decide it would be cool to have one, the credit card takes another hit. Rationalization-it will be great for small game hunting and maybe some informal silhouette.

Step 8: You are extremely happy with your small K-22 collection. No need for any more. Your range buddy lets you send a few .22WMR's downrange from his Model 48 and you say to yourself "Darn, those are a blast to shoot." You see one for sale on a local gun board for a reasonable price, credit card takes a hit again.

Step 9: Well if the 6" 48 you bought is such a nice gun, a 4" and 8 3/8" would be nice to round out the .22 WMR collection. You call the bank to get the credit card limit raised.

Step 10: You reload for your centerfires so why not get a 53. I mean they have a shrouded ejector rod unlike anyother K-22 so you have to have one.

Step 11: Well the first 53 was really a nice gun, might as well get the other 2 barrel lengths you don't currently have. You hit the home equity line of credit for these.

Step 12: You are now really pleased with your nice collection of various K-22's. You are sitting with the adult beverage of your choice and pick up the SCSW just to look. What the heck, early post war K-22's have different barrel and backstrap patterns, the 17-6 is available with a full lug barrel, gee a 617 would be nice to have a stainless gun for bad weather carry.................

Your wallet is now a smoking hole in the ground.

What? No second model? No post-war transitional? No one-liners? No Kaychuck? No no-dash,-1,-2,-3,-4,-5,etc.? There's even a few nickel plated ones out there. Now,what was that about a TWELVE-step program?

Yessir...................................

I have a K22, a K22 Combat Masterpiece, a M17-4, and am thinking I need a M48 either a 4 inch or 6 inch barrel, but not both....................................

Well.............maybe both because a 4 inch will pack well in the woods.

And then I saw the later M17s with the full length lug and the stainless M617s as well (not the 10 shooters only the 6 shooters).

And I WILL draw the line at the 6 shooters because I just don't like the idea of a ten shot revolver.........................

Yet..................

I feel your pain... try collecting K guns from your birth year. My holy grail K-32 is gonna bankrupt my 501S&W account.

Hog-I feel your pain, I finally bit the bullet and bought a 16 no dash. It was $$ but oh man is it sweet. Should have bought one a long time ago.
