I bought one of these new in 1978...........foolishly sold it around 1991. Got out of pistols and revolvers and shooting. When I decided to get back into it this was the first gun I was after and luckily found this gem!
A most delightful 22 semi-auto to shoot, standard velocity ammo and a tack driver!
Since this thread has migrated to all kinds of 22LR firearms, which I like to see, I'll offer up my Remington 541-T with oil-finished wood from Remington's Custom Shop.
I also have a matte-blued heavy-barrel version but it isn't as attractive. Both have factory match chambers and are extremely accurate.
While this is the S&W forum from 1980 on, I want to share a photo of my 1952 S&W K-22.
I also have a few Korth rimfire revolvers that are well built
This is a 24 and a 26 series with the roller bearing, the double action is superior to Colt OMM, S&W K-22, and the Korth 21 to 23 series. Extraction is super smooth; Korths have a hardened ball bearing rolled through the chambers that leave a glassy-smooth surface.
This is a 23 series. It does not have the roller bearing yet but the trigger weight is adjustable from the outside.
I have two Swiss Hämmerlis, one is the International (208), the other a 212 Jägerschaftspistole.
This is one of the first .22 l.r. Walther PP that were made in Zella Mehlis and it is still doing its job at the range. It is a fun to shoot.
