Interesting thing about K22's and target hammer. My 1953 has a target hammer and grips but I do not believe there was a target trigger then. You will love it as I do with all K22's. I dearly love that revolver.

Excellent revolver; I like that big target hammer.
I have another 1953 K-22, K196xxx, where the x's represent not modesty but poor memory. Has the regular speed hammer (or fish hook, for those who use the term).
K-22s of any era are just wonderful guns.

Did you letter your gun? I also have a K196xxx gun that I have not lettered. I can't remember my x'ed numbers either and it is just too hot (96 degrees and 50% humidity)to go check.

I hadn't intended to letter it because it doesn't speak to me the way some of my other K-frames do. But it is a nice standard gun in pretty good shape. No box, tools or papers. Just a basic 5-screw K-22.
Ah, just remembered the full serial : K196446
Here's a pic:
.
Sorry the photo is so dark. I need to rephotograph this one. But even in brighter light, the stocks will stay dark. Very deep toned wood with aged oil.
I learned through the SWCA that this one was shipped in December 1953.

Nice Big Larry, there's nothing better that a k-22 & a bunch of ammo. Accurate, triggers to die for, quality, just some of the things that come to mind with these old smiths.
My shooters, took the origional grips off. Don't know what year my 4 & 5 screw k-22's are, not sure about the 41 either. But they sure are fun, enjoy.

Look what someone did to this one. It still is a nice revolver. Just not original.

Kinda? To say the least! Can't have to many, can't see them enough.
