In college in the mid '50s, I had a friend with a K22. On the rare occasions when I could buy a box of 22's, I got to shoot it. After all those years, last week, I finally acquired a 1948 model. I was not disappointed. I didn't know I could shoot that well.

You have stumbled on the mystique of the old K frames

Enjoy it

I am in love with anything 22. I own most every high $ newest bestest around. If I had to depend on one to hit the mark it is a pre-17 I have had for sometime.
Should have saved my money;-)
