I'll check my stash but in the meantime, you should post an ad in the Want to buy section.
There were two slightly different rear sights on those. One had just a single screw to adjust the elevation, and the later, improved version had another screw to hold the adjustment. If you can post the serial number of your K-22, we could probably advise you on which one would be correct. A photo of the top strap might also shed a clue.
That will be the first step in helping to locate what you need, and will be a lot easier than the "finding" part.
And, welcome to the forum.

I dont mean to be nosy, but what happened to the original sight?
i never keep any compete sights in stock at the store, just blades and little parts.

Finding one in good usable condition might be a chore, and when you do find one, it will probably be a little pricey, $150 or more.

Chris: I'll go looking for the Want-T0-Buy and post there, thanks.
Mark: Thanks, the SR# is 656xxx and I believe it was made in 1936 or 37.
Mike: I bought this K-22 at auction and the photos didn't show enough detail to reveal there was no rear sight.
Richard: Obviously I was hoping for more like $50 but beggars can't be choosers. Thanks to all.

This one is the correct style for one in the 656000 serial range. It's on my 1934-ish .38 M&P Target which is the same frame size as the K-22 Outdoorsman.

I am still looking for this rear sight.

Keep on looking. You might get lucky but it could take awhile as these don't grow on trees. The double rear screw (shown above) would be the correct type.
Dave Clements makes reproductions for ~$100, but doesn't always have them in stock. I'd check with him 1st:

A sight assembly that will fit (or can be made to fit) your revolver was made from 1899 to 1942. THE sight assembly that was made FOR your revolver was made from 1932 to 1942. Looking at these numbers and applying a little imagination suggests you might want to be looking for A sight that will fit your gun---and hope for the best.
I, on the other hand, would already have my attorneys hot after your auction house-------------and I'd be looking for another gun----one with all its pieces in place----that being the path of least resistance.

That's one scarce factory modified type 1 pre war, pre 1932 sight with the added elevation lock screw in the back.

Hi Ralph, I bought it via the Pima AZ County Sheriff auction so probably won't try and sue them. Bill

Aren't those serial numbered to the gun? Big Larry
I stumbled on a 2nd model .22 sight body in the white. Just needs the blade and screw which is the same as the new sights I would assume. Not sure if it would help. Larry
