I have a k22 in super nice shape but don't know much about value of have pics don't know how to post them on here

Welcome to the forum.

To post pictures that are stored in your computer click on POST REPLY (to thread), pull the page down a little then click on MANAGE ATTACHMENTS. In the dialog box that comes up click on BROWSE, select the picture, then click on UPLOAD. It is easier to do than to describe.

Vintage and condition are both very important. If you still have the original stocks or box both add value.

I would think long and hard about selling a nice K22, I have one and it is the very last firearm I would ever sell, period. since they are getting harder and harder to find, and they are the best (IMO) 22 revolver ever built

My K22 and I are asking you not to sell.

Please don't sell!

That's the first K frame .22 I've seen with pearl stocks. Does that make it transgender?

Bob, I must agree with the others, please do not sell your K22 unless it is an absolute necessity! Once you sell it, you will realize how much of a mistake that decision was, it could cost you a small fortune to replace it! K22s are like K38s, you can never have enough!

My initial thought is that anyone that sells their K22 is nuts. They are an absolute pleasure to shoot at the range or out plinking, and cheap to feed too.

But then I look at the past few years with the increased pricing and limited availability of .22 ammo. I think I understand why one would sell their K22. If you reload, you can shoot 9mm or 38 Special for about the same price or even less than the cost of .22 lr.

I'm still keeping mine though. My pre-shortage stash is enough to last a few more years and hopefully by then things settle down.

Ha. Does that make it ahead of its time?

I had a passing thought recently about selling my pre-model K22 Combat Masterpiece. Certainly not as nice or desirable as your "one liner" Outdoorsman, but a very, very fine revolver in its own right, and a shooter before I owned it and ever since.

I got it out, put an empty casing in the chamber, cocked it, and touched the trigger. The feeling in my hand, the sound when the hammer fell, and the sense that this was a product of a bygone era of superb craftmanship made me a bit embarassed to even have considered selling it.

I put it back in the box and resolved to take it to the range again, next time I go.

Think hard about what you have, and whether the money you get would satisfy you as much as continuing to own such an exceptional revolver. I did, and the choice was easy.

The following scenario is a counter to the usual gun enthusiast's keep it forever reply. Suppose your father left you a rare antique family heirloom: a horse drawn wheat combine. Parked on your lawn its axles spanned from flower bed to flower bed and its yoke for 17 horses lay across the neighbor's lawn. Are you really obligated to keep an old tool that isn't useful forever?

I am very glad my grandmother did not leave me her huge collection of buttons.

I sold four guns I wish I didn't. I replaced three the for so far, the fourth one is a six inch Python. That's gonna hurt my wallet.

No airlooms in my family but $50k in depth.
