Having seen RKMESA'a (Richard's) displays, it's like seeing a Faberge display at a museum. He has the greatest engraved S&W hanguns I've ever imagined.

The only thing missing on that collection is my name on a couple of them. I'd be happy with that.

I have to put it in my safe sideways or I can’t close the door. Stocks were non numbered magnas. With target trigger, target hammer, and target sights I’m guessing it came with target stocks so I dug around and found a set. Enjoy.

I just put a set of smooth targets on my M18 and a Pre M14. IMHO they make quite a difference. I've never had an 8 3/8ths barreled revolver, how is the balance? Does it feel barrel heavy?

It feels a little heavy in the front to me. I plan on shooting it tomorrow or Tuesday. It feels a lot better to me with target grips. I think it will be a fun one to shoot. I’ve got a couple of 4 inch k-frames I’d like to shoot at the same time. So I’ll have a comparison.

Richard (RKmesa) suggested maybe a K-22 1st with the two-screw sight, and as near as I can tell, nobody seconded the motion. Let me tend to that right now: A K-22 1st with the two-screw sight is an absolutely, positively must-have in ANY collection of S&W target guns. It is an infinitely adjustable sight---the last of the eight or so examples preceding it. It is the FIRST S&W target sight which will not shoot loose. On balance, it is the finest sight S&W ever made---before or since.

I've posted this one in the "What did you buy" thread, but figure it belongs here, too. 1947, old target stocks are a pair I had. I have the original magnas, but they have a lot of wear, and needed a rest.

Don't know if it would count, but it is a K frame 22. The Model 53, 22 Magnum Jet. Did not see it listed here but I was going through the thread quickly.
Just purchased one Saturday and will post pics in the A.M.

I have all the K.22's I need or want. I'm a piker I know but mine are shooters and I'll be selling one of them soon, I'm just not sure which one.
K-22 pre #'s
M 17-3
and a M48-7, to go with my Marlin Model 57M .22mag rifle. I hate the lock but it's better than nothing.
