The .22 revolvers I enjoy shooting in order of preference are: 1. Colt Officers Model Match 2. S&W k-22 (6 inch, 1948) 3. S&W 617 (6 inch, no dash) 4. Colt Diamondback (6 inch) They are all fun to shoot, but for some reason the Colt OMM is in a class all its own. My next revolver will be...

If something happens to FYIMO's bid, I would like to be next in line.

It would be nice to see some pics, but even without that, I would be interested in it up to about $750-775. I think if you list it here, you will have a pretty quick response. That particular model presentation is in pretty high demand.

Wow, those ae amazing. Would you mind sharing some other details, such as the checkering lines per inch, and the type of wood.

Thank you for the info

I have just recently become interested in acquiring a Model 629. In the back of my mind, I seem to recall that some felt caution must be used in shooting higher powered loads in the older model 29's. Is that the case with the 629's as well? If so, with what series (eg 629-x) does this issue...

Thanks for the additional updates and clarifications. Just as an aside, I did not buy this piece for any appreciation potential. In fact, I still have every gun I have purchased. I kind of become attached to them, so this piece is definitely off the market. I will give it to one of my kids...

A quick followup now that I have received the revolver. It is in very nice shape. The serial No. is in white grease pencil on the bottom of the box. The sight post looks perfect to me. There is no lint nor ding. There is an indentation, but it is not deep enough to have held any type of...

I bought a 6 inch Colt Peacemaker with the 22lr and 22mag cylinders in July of 1973, two months after high school graduation and two months before I turned 18. I still have it, but got rid of the box way back then. Who knew you were supposed to keep boxes. :)

Wow, what a lot of responses on the purchase of this 1955 k-22. I am the fellow that bought it, and realized that I was overpaying for it. However, I reasoned that it is something I have been looking for, for a while and this is the nicest one I have seen come up in a while. Also, it seems...

J38, Very nice and fun post. That is nice shooting and those are two very nice revolvers. I have a Colt Officer's Model Match from 1964 that is a very nice shooter. My very first k-22, a 1948, is on its way to me and should arrive tomorrow. I am looking forward to conducting my own similar...

.45acp? Based on your screen name, this may be a bad assumption, but I assume this is a .45acp. Also, it appears to be a full size, but can you confirm it is the 5 inch barrel? Thanks

I'll take the K-22 I will take the k-22. E-mail sent. Thanks, Stuart

When I logged in this morning for the first time after joining it said I should stop by and say Hi, so I am. Just a little background: I have always loved S&W's and also Colt's. My first revolver was a Colt Peacemaker in .22lr that I bought as a 17 year old in 1973. My next revolver was a...
