1st Vintage Smith
I recently picked up my first (but maybe not my last) K22 at my LGS. SN 16630, matching # stocks...I'm thinking I done good! Any opinions or info would be appreciated

Nice early post war K-22,
Looks to be in nice condition and has the early one line MADE IN USA rollstamp on the frame with the newer straight ejector rod knob end.
Will make a fine corner stone for a growing K-22 collection

Welcome to the forum. You will never find a finer 22 revolver than the K22 and it looks like you found a nice one.

Collecting k22s is great. Shooting k22s is even better.

Welcome to the forum. Great start on a S&W collection. Looks like your revolver and I are of the same vintage.

That is an outstanding looking K22. I know it will shoot as good as it looks. Welcome to the S&W Forum, we love pictures of neat old S&W's.

That is a great gun to start an addiction with. Every one that I have fired was very smooth and had rifle-like accuracy.
