The Ultimate K-22/Model 17 Thread
I've seen a number of "Ultimate" threads but couldn't find one for the M-17, so let's right this injustice to a deserving revolver.
I'll kick it off with my 17-3. I don't know it's birth date so I may have to post SN later in the thread since I don't have it right now.

I have been working on building the k-22 collection. First picture is a hard to find bright blue pre 17 4 screw. Next in line a pre 17 single line. Third is a pre war O.D. I have been keeping a eye out for a model 18. Mike DSCN0404.jpg

Here is the first S&W I ever bought. I was a 20 year old college student in 1957. It's still with me 57 years later.
And here is the box it came in. "Hey Fred, I got a K-22 coming for shipment, break out the white stamp."
teesur.

The Ultimate K-22/Model 17 Thread
Glad I started this thread, very educational, and humbling. I had never heard of a nickel K22.
Ok, my meager one 17-3 is numbered 6K33xxx.
Can someone give me a year?
Thanks for all the awesome pics.

Two of my favorites, a 617 no dash and an early postwar K-22.

If it dates to "1936" then it is a first model ...........sometimes known as a "Registered Magnum"......LOL
The holes in that gun do look a little large for a 17

As for what to "do" with it, I'd say an honored retirement is in order.

A beautiful gun. I've got K32xxx here that is its twin, from 1948 if I remember right. It is honored by continuing to be carried and shot.

Here's my Model 17. Love this revolver. I've taken a few cottontails, some raccoons, and a couple of 'possems with a Model 17.
S&W Model 17-4 "K22 Masterpiece" in .22 Long Rifle
Thanks for looking at my Model 17.
God bless,
