Hard to come by is right. I've never seen one in person.
If OP has a favorite. Did he sell all the rest he had?

Leave it to me to decide I want the unobtainable!

Like this gentleman above, currently my only .22 rf revolver is a pristine model 63. I borrowed a finish chamber reamer and spent one evening cleaning up the charge holes.

something about a 4" K-frame...
M18, from 1958 and 18-3 (1977), that once belonged to the Colorado State Patrol. Both are great shooters, but the bluing, on the older one is sooooo deep.

22 Caliber Revolver?
Some of us have a different definition for "22 Caliber Revolvers"!
My favorite pair are these two!
A 16-4 and an early 22 Masterpiece chamber in .224 Harvey K-Chuk
Or maybe these two!

Joe, that box seems to be missing something - I just can't place what it might be...Or maybe these two!

My favorite is whichever one is at the range with me that day... 
If I ever have to choose only one to keep, it will be a tough day...

A K-chuk!! That will sting. And yes Truckman, one must always have the 22LR cylinder for the M-53. You can cut down on the erosion while still having fun.
My 4" round butt 617, built as an understudy to my 4" round butt 686 back in the 80s.
A close second is a 4" Model 18 with Spegel Boot grips!

My favorite ( might just be my most frequently shot handgun of all) is my 2" square butt nickel model 34-1.
I always preferred the look of square butts , they look more classic.
I had been searching for a 2" square but for about 5 years, then stumbled into the one I have. Was really wanting blue, but after not even seeing one for sale ( at a not insane price anyway) for so long I bit on the nickel.
It has possibly the best trigger I have ever felt on a J frame, and no misfire issues. It also doesn't suffer from overly tight chambers and trouble extracting. Surprisingly accurate ( hitting pepper poppers set up at my club at 100 yards is so routine it almost gets boring)
When my schedule permits, I shoot a steel challenge match and often show up with the 2" 34-1 as my gun for the match. I never finish last ( typically middle of the pack for the iron sight pistol class) and rarely need to use the 6th round in the cylinder because I missed.

Yah, I know! I have them in 6" w/the extra cyl but the 8 3/8" barrel w/the extra cyl has not found its way into my safe(YET)!Joe, that box seems to be missing something - I just can't place what it might be...

Beautiful guns!!!
Like several of you above, I too have an ongoing love affair with the K-22... Here are some of my favorites...
... but if I had to pick only a few, these engraved ones would quickly rise to the top:
... or maybe this King Super Target Outdoorsman...

Be grateful you have the box...The box for mine got misplaced by its previous caretaker...
...BenGreat thread with wonderful photos. Especially like that Churchill gun !!
Can't imagine not having and shooting 22s, at least one goes to the range every time I do, sometimes nothing but 22s. Here are a few of mine.

Is is possible to see a few more photos of that 22/32 HFT with those wonderful KB Ropers on it?
