I have both the K22 and the K38 in the long version and have grown to really enjoy shooting them. The balance is different, of course, and I think it took me a little while to get used to it, but now that I have, it feels quite natural and comfortable. And I don't have anything I can shoot as well at the range as the .38...sometimes I impress even myself. I have also put together a pair of 4 inch Combat Masterpieces in .22 and .38...don't know how I ended up skipping the 6 inch versions.
