I like 22"s also and here are a few. It's been so long since I've posted a picture I hope these work. Several model 18's, a 1956 pre model 17, an 8 3/8" model 17 with 4X Leopold EER, and if these work I will post a few more photos when I figure out where they are at. I do like the .22 caliber and not just S&W's. I have several S&W model 63's and a few snubbies. Ruger Single Sixes and Bearcat and High Standard. Love em.
Here are a few more 22's and my photos are so scattered that I am lucky to find these. I mostly use an iPad these last 5 years and when I get on my desktop I seem to be lost as where to find my files.
Two model 63's and a nickel 34-1 and a model 17 non pinned barrel.
That hurts my heart...a very sad thing to never have a chance to prove it's mettle. It wouldn't be like that in my world., but then money means little to me. As long as I can eat I'm OK...
The nickle one is 4 screw shipped to a S&W sales rep.
The matte blue one is a three digit gun shipped to a retired WWI Officer who was able to order this front sight roughly 5 years before its offered in catalogs.
I bought this 17-3 from a forum member about 5 years ago. It's a beautiful, accurate gun that my wife has claimed for her own. It's a favorite whenever I bring out new shooters or shooters new to revolvers.

Rich: I really like that 3 digit one and love the Birdseye Maple grips you partnered with it in that photo. Are those KB creations?
There are some beautiful guns shown above. Thanks to all who shared!!! I too really love the 22s and the K-22 is one of my favorites. I have a special affinity for the pre-war ones,
Like Paladin I also have S&W .22 revolvers but I really have a weakness for older .22 rifles! Here is my Winchester 75. Produced around 1940 with a Noske side mount and early Lyman Alaskan scope.
Sorry about the Photobucket stamp-I wasn't able to find my original picture.
I have two Remington M572 rifles in 22 rimfire. One was my first gun the other my little brothers first rifle. A Kimber "S" series gets most of the attention as well as a Winchester M490. I have an itch for a nice custom 22 rifle however.
