The S&W .22 revolver appreciation thread!
In celebration of the ending of a near 5 year search for a model 18 a couple of weeks back (see earlier thread), I'd like to begin a photo thread of S&W .22s. I'll begin with my small group:
Model 18-3 (shipped 1971):
Model 17-3 8 3/8" (shipped 1977) This gun has 3Ts and special order factory red post front sight:
Model 35 no dash (shipped 1959) This revolver is built on the improved I-frame and takes J-frame grips. It came with the original diamond magnas numbered to the gun which are shown in the photo. They are now safely in storage with the J-targets being used for shooting:
Show your S&W .22!

Don't forget the I-frame .22s
I have more .22 S&Ws than any other caliber right now. Not sure how that happened, since I think of myself as a .44 kind of guy. But much as I love my K-frame .22s (one Outdoorsman, three 5-screw Pre-17s), I think the ones I appreciate most are my I-frames, in particular two Prewar .22/32 Kit Guns:
530553, shipped March 1938
533556, shipped June 1940
These little gems are barely over eight inches long, stem to stern. I also like the .22/32 Heavy Frame Target Revolvers (Bekeart Style), but the longer barrel and the extension stocks just don't give these guns the appealing proportions of the round-butt Kit Guns. I-frames just look best with four-inch barrels and small stocks. (But that doesn't mean they shoot best when they are at their most attractive; there's a reason those oversize stocks exist.)

Just won this 34-1 yesterday. My first S&W .22 (not entirely true, as I used to have a 2214) - revolver. I'm sure it will meet my expectations.

i have a well used but descent shape 4" model 63.
id love to be able to afford a 2" model 63 or model 34....but me thinks a old charter arms pathfinder will have to fill the void.

I lucked into my first one late last year. More to follow, I'm sure. A 1980 Model 48-4 With .22 MAG and .22 LR cylinders. The Magnas are numbered to the gun.

A temporal anomaly - I hope I can still share
Born in 1953 so it's a bit out of place but I hope no one minds.

There's some real beauties, in here. Sky-rocketing ammo prices led me to puchase my first .22LR; a M43. I enjoy shooting it so much that I gave it some company in the form of a 1948 K-22 and somewhat newer M63.

S&W Model 34-1
I just picked this up today.
I haven't seen many like it and I'm looking forward to shooting it tomorrow, weather permitting.
Paid $400 which seemed to be a really good price to me.

I posted a couple of Prewar Kit Guns higher in this thread. Here are a couple of K-22s that live with me now, a First model from 1934 and an early production Third Model from 1947.
I also have a couple of other five-screw K-22s. Here's one from 1953 sporting left-hand Roper thumbrest target stocks.
I've got to believe there are more S&W .22s in my future, but I need to hold off on these for a while so I can touch up some other holes in my collection.
