Hold on a minute here!!  Kris, when you say shooters are you talking about worn veterans that go to the range often or like many shown so far, that are way - way above what would normally be considered shooter grade guns??? Most of those I see so far are safe queens if they were in my collection! 
Here are some of my K frame shooters - Models 1899, 1902, 1905.

I have several K frames that are shooters but only two are photographed. I've posted these before but would like to play. Here's a Md 16-4 that I shoot, but not often. By the way, I swapped (and kept) the OEM square butt combats for the targets you see here. The K frame I shoot the most is this Md 15-4.
Md 16-4, .32 Magnum
Md 15-4

Ours are not old or fancy but are definitely shooters.
M67
 20151116_084317 by Slick_Rick77, on Flickr
Don't tell it that its sight looks big.
Some 15 yard DA shooting.
It is the most accurate handgun in the house.
My kid and his 10-8. He calls it a "police gun." Fair enough.
 20150526_121250 by Slick_Rick77, on Flickr
His 5yd results in SA.
It's the most accurate iron sighted handgun in the house.
My shooting at 20 yards.
The gun can probably do half that...but that's the best of my ability at this time...just over 2."
K frames have a reputation as good shooters. These don't disappoint.

I don't get out to shoot very often any more but these have probably been shot the most: K-22 & K-38 made in my birth year(1950), a .38 combat masterpiece(1952), an early 50s 5" M&P and a 2 7/8" 64 that began life as a 4" sq butt. lee

Sorry for the ****** photo. It's all I had on this device though. This is a 1981 Model 66 serial numbered to the Florida Highway Patrol. Hence the FHP numbering on the left side. I inherited it from a family member along with about a half dozen other Smiths. This one had seen very little use but a lot of carry and, unfortunately, a lot of sweaty holster time. Even though it was stainless the pitting was deep enough that it wasn't repairable so I opted to build a copy of a gun I had seen several years ago. Cerakote OD green with Armorer black accents took care of the appearance but I did not grind or otherwise remove the pitting. It adds character in my opinion and I'll never sell the gun so I couldn't give a hoot about what it does to the value. The only other modifications were honing the internals, polishing the trigger face smooth and installing a slightly lighter main spring. She's a tack driver and gets a lot of attention at the range from people that aren't used to seeing very many revolvers anyway. To me it's the very definition of a shooter.

My three K frame shooters I like. Left to right: 1972 Model
67 with a trigger job. Paid $300 for it about 5 years ago. Very
accurate. Next one is a 1949 K-22, all original. Last one is
a 1947 Pre-model 10, all original.

They are all shooters - unless the gun is busted. In that case, repair it so it works.

I'm a little late to the party, but I don't mind bumping up this great thread
I mostly shoot N-frames, but there is nothing more fun and relaxing than shooting a K22. They are also great for working on your trigger control.
This one is my favorite to shoot. It's a later 3 digit LERK that I was very happy to find with some help here on the Forum
This September 1950 Pre 18 is also tops on my list for plinking. I also shoot it when my gun club has .22 steel plate matches.
