Cheaper by the pair. (Have posted pics)

Took a while. Here are my new to me K22 and 19-3.
Trying out the K22 at the club tonight.

The 19-3 is in such wonderful condition, I have a bit of a tough
time even imagining shooting it.
I did, however, find a 66-1 over the weekend.
That big gun will make for some big fun at the range!
(Pics in separate post.)

Phone call from LGS.
"We've got something you might really like."
Yup. They did have something. And I really liked both of them.
(There was a third, 19-3, 4", nickle, with presentation box, but one 19 is enough for me.)

Revolver #1 is a factory nickle Model 19-3. 6" barrel. Presentation box. DOB sometime in 1975. No papers.
SN 7K90XXX.

Revolver #2 is a K22. 4" barrel. DOB somewhere in 1951.
This cutie's got some honest wear on it.
No box or papers.
SN is K114xxx. From what I've researched here, I think it's a Pre-17.
(Could someone please confirm or correct after I've posted pics? Thanks!)

I'll get 10% off the 19, and just had to pick up the K22 'cause I'll get 20% off the second gun purchase.
I threw in a trade too.

Pics will follow when I get them home and clean them up.

P.S. I moved this post here from "1980 to present".
My 19-3 is from 1975, and I now have a revolver older than I am, 'cause my K22's from 1951.

Boy, I'm going to have to get my aging noggin to remember where I'm posting!

Another lucky find. In darn good shape for his age.
(He came home with a buddy, which I just may be my first true safe queen. High Standard Sport King 103. Hamden stamped.
The shop owners both agreed, it's never seen more than a couple of rounds through it, if it's been fired at all. With matching box. It's really cute.)

The .22 would be a pre 18.
Some nice guns you picked up the 18 really has some nice stocks

Thanks, weatherby!
So this little gem wasn't labeled correctly. That's OK by me!

Out of all my revolvers (Hey! Sounds like a soap-opera..."All My Revolvers." Heehee. "As the Wheel Gun Turns" ?)
THIS little sweety has a WONDerful DA trigger.
I put some holes in a couple bullseye targets, shooting one and two handed. My conclusion is, I need to bench
this puppy to get it set up for myself. I like it. I like it very much.

I was having so much fun, I didn't realize how much ammo I used up
that was supposed to be fed to my M41. This was supposed to be bullseye practice!
I let a few of my team members try it out, and all of them said it was pretty cool.
