Here's my new favorite...
S/N: K2361XX, a 5 screw K-22 from early 1955.
I recently acquired this from a fellow Montanan, with a set of non-relieved target stocks. It shoots like a tack driver.
I've got several other K-22s and an Outdoorsman, but they're just too nice to pack around on the ranch. This one is a joy to handle and use as a working gun.
I'm told the non-relieved stocks were only made for a year, or two. The K-22 may be the only model you can get away with using them on, without causing damage during ejection. On a .38/.357 gun, it's almost impossible to eject cartridges without striking the left stock.
The holster is by Colorado Saddlery, and also dates to the 1950's. I have to admit, though, that it only goes out on special occaisions. Mostly I carry the K-22 in an older Hunter holster.
