Default First 5 screw. K22, 6", 1948

Finally found a nice 5 screw. Should be 1948 based on the serial number. Excellent condition, turn line and some blue loss on the end of the extractor rod but other than that not a mark. Grips are serial numbered. No box, but still nice.

Great 5 screw you got yourself, the grips and case hardening really set it off. This probably is one of many that you'll own. Congratulations!

Very Nice,

I found my first taper barrel this year after a tip from my buddy Allen frame that there was a clean one in a local GS.

Super clean 4 line address K 42696 and GS employee says $500...
The hand was a rapid blur getting the wallet out.

I see U are in Florida as well...Im in Broward

Thanks!. No, I don't think there will be many more. My mind says yes, but the wallet says no.

Engine49, I am across the State from you.

Don't worry, when it comes to K-22's, the mind has a way of making the wallet work it out.

that is a great looking pistol, but they can be habbit forming, i have its very close stable mate, the one i have, has had a brushed hard chrome refinish back in the early seventy's and it has proven to be a very durable finish
this pistol is packed reguraly in a old S&W leather holster and has had a truck load of ammo through it and still looks as good as it did back 40 years ago

Just picked this one up today. First one. Cleaned it, flitzed it, then put a coat of Rem wax on it. I believe it is a 1955 model. Serial #K2525XX. I have read a lot of posts this evening about the K22, wow, I have learned alot. Thanks all. I will take some better pics outdoors tomorrow. Can't wait to shoot it.

Sorry, Kyle I don't sell any of my kids. I was merely offering a comparison for the OP and others that had inquired about price.

PS: Here's another.
