That's A Winner! Best Carry Revolver ever made. A few years ago these were really common and inexpensive. Not any more! I carry a M65, 3in, RB, with 158s. Shoots great. With a little practice, these are really accurate with full loads too. I'm Jealous! Great Find!

Thanks Jim, I know, but it looks bad. I have already a really nice collection of S&W .22 revolvers that I don't shoot and I'm not trying to improve resale. I'm looking to improve appearance my one of my favorite range guns. I don't want to refinish the whole gun, just spots on the barrel. It's...

Thanks That's as suspected. I have about a $100-150 budget. Removing the barrel is for a craftsman for sure. The finish on the rest of the revolver is beautiful. Just a quick buff a clean up the edge of the rib Funny! When my younger generation shooting buddies shoot this, They are amazed at...

Hi Folks, I have this beautiful K22 #K3591xx that is in excellent condition with exception some good pits in the L/H side of barrel. the damage is only to the barrel and small edges of rib but look bad. Question is, Do I send to S&W to have repair & reblue to barrel or is a specialized Gunsmith...

They are pretty cool! I am always looking for them. Don't forget to look for the Target model M35 and M48 22 magnums too!

No Hoppes! It eats the cooper baseplate under the nickel and can turn the nickel green with Copper oxidation! I have seen Hoppes 9 get under the sideplate srews an peel off plating. Usually happens where soaking solvent finds voids in plating. Try Kroil. H/P shooters use it and swear by it. Keep...

Hi, I just purchased a 1955 K22 Masterpiece #K25995x NIB w/tools for $1K (Photos to come) and did really well. This quality and workmanship is no longer available new from the S&W factory. Recently spotted a newer 10 shot M617 with the aluminum cylinders going for $750 Used! If you get this K22...

You Did Really Well! Please show pictures.

Look it over really good for the nickel starting to peel. Look around the screw holes, along where the side plate matches up against the frame and where the crane moves into the frame. If you are going to pay top price make sure it's in top condition. M29's will probably not get any cheaper but...

Hey! You would always be able to get your money back out of it. That's a great buy. They are cool pistols.

That's a Really Nice Set Up!

Boxes are Cool!, Photo contrast on Value. Hey Ya'll, Great Subject! My Opinion! All empty handgun boxes hold some value. I spread some of my collection out on the floor and took a couple of photos to show contrast on this thread. In my photos there are boxes that make a huge difference in value...

Hi, I was in the exact spot you are. I bought a M27(no dash)6 inch, four screw, with pachmayr grips. It was in excellent condition minus the Magna stocks I kept my eye out and found a really nice set of 60's, smooth targets in rosewood for $50 and it was worth the wait. My M27 looks and shoots...

The S/N does have an S prefix but a big gap space between S and S/N. I missed that on the initial posting. I removed the grips and the S/N w/o prefix is stamped in the right stock and S/N matches the revolver (That's Good!). The extractor rod end is straight (Headless) and no little knob as on...

Great Photos! Your M&P Post has motivated me to post a new thread and a couple of photos of my post war M&P. That's a Really Nice Revolver! Thanks,
