What's your favorite K frame?

[Valmet]

My 1968 mfg 17-3 K-22 for me. Was a gift from my dad on my 17th bday back in 1998.

Easy P&R M65-1 4" barrel.

 

[EricR]

Easy for me too. My late Dad's K22. He bought it 48ish when he came home a decorated officer from the Pacific Theater of operation.

My favorite is my 2 1/2" Model 66-4. It's my primary carry gun 3/4ths of the year, and at 10 yards it's a tack driver with 125 gr XTPs.

The only fun handgun is one you can hit something with. The K38 with the old standard target load of 2.7 gr. Bullseye under a good 148 gr. hbwc bullet and if you cannot hit that bullseye....it ain't the gun.

 

[OLDSTER]

K38/15 for sure

 

[stu1ritter]

K 32 Masterpiece Pre-Model 16 4", no question.

A timely thread for me in the process of retirement "down-sizing" (aka...too many firearms....some have to go!). it was only a couple weeks ago that I had to make some very hard (for me anyway) "K Frame" choices, so out of the five below you can easily see my "favorites". The Model 14, and the Outdoorsman went quickly to Forum Members, and the Model 19 is still up for grabs on the forum. Unlisted (and hopefully never) are the Model 10, and the Model 15. When I like big bore "wrist twist" action it is usually the Model 25, Model 28, Model 29 N framers, but the Mod 10 and 15 get their fair share of exercise time too...........guess I am more of a shooter type guy than purist collector, or even accumulator.

PS. I forgot the 1942 Victory in 1950's dress (Mershon rubber) but he just looks plain ugly if going to the dance with the above blue steel and walnut Smith's, so usually stays home as the "wallflower".

Here is my newest K frame acquisition. It have very quickly become one of my favorites! It is a little too old to be in this section of the forum since it is a 1949 Model 10.

I like 2" square butt K frames. The one with the round butt is my only pre war snubbie.

 

[Shoo2tr]

19-4 6" Nickel with all the T's.

 

[weatherby]

I've only one K frame gun a model 17 but I am getting to the point I can change grips on it daily

Been awhile and a few more guns and a lot more grips since this was posted.

Far and away this one.
Makes me look good..... pretty big task.

 

[mike from st pete]

Model 10-5 and 17

 

[Targets Guy]

No brainer for me. 1947 K-22

 

[Toblerra]

Any 3" K frame will do it for me. The perfect combination of balance and class.

 

[VThillman]

The Model 10-8 is my favorite; being my only S&W K frame. Bought it in late '79.

 

[dirtbikerdude2005]

I gotta go with the 19 in 4".

Got any info on those grips? They look amazing....

I'm very impressed with the action on my s&w k38 combat masterpiece in 38 special with a 4" barrel. I don't think it can get any better. I have a pre 14 and a pre 15 that are pretty much the same actions. But it was the action on my 1948 k22 I purchased for my grandson that started all this interest in s&w revolvers.

 

[Keith Brown]

This would be my overall favorite.

Can say this,,, I'm shooting a lot more Jet Mags now that they're being made, Thanks PPU ammo co. M-53s are a blast to shoot, literally.
