K Frames Keep Calling Me…

[RayRay7]

There's something about K frames, even the 'regular ones'.

In January, just as I told myself I'd be laying off the purchases for a bit, I find an ad for a 10-5 snub. I contacted the seller, made arrangements for a PPT and eventually brought it home. Sure, it has honest wear, but she compliments my beloved 64-2:

A local shop had set aside a Model 67 no-dash awhile back for me…so a few weeks later I figured it was time to fork over the money and bring it home too:

And a few weeks ago, the same shop got some consignments in; I asked them to put this aside for me (Wife recommended getting it after we get back from our upcoming trip):

Pre-17

And of course I find a 6" 10-5 locally but know I definitely need to lay off it…

K's are great

I get it. I like them too. There are so many and they are all fun to shoot and collect. A 17 is in my future too. Life is short, be responsible, but have fun too.

I'm sure someone will tell you a good way to limit your purchases of K frames is to choose a niche, adjustable sights, pre- numbered models, nickel plated, etc. That sounds good, but it doesn't necessarily work that way. Say you choose short barreled models, 3 inch and under. Well, you have pre-numbered M&P models and Mod 10's and 64's in round and square butt 2 and 3 inch , Mod 13's and 65's in 3 inch. And of course Mod 19's and 66's in 2 1/2 inch and 3inch. Oh, I almost forgot, 2 inch Mod 15's. Oh shoot, then there are the Mod 12's square and round butt 2inch. And if you really want to dig deep, 2 1/2 inch Mod 10's and I believe the Mod 12 in 3 inch for the French police. Which reminds me of the Mod 547 in 3 inch. Ok, I'm making myself dizzy, but as you see, it is easy to get buried in those wonderful K frames, don't ask me how I know. . .

They keep calling me too...Sometimes they wake me up at night with their plaintive cries for comfort...Last weekend six of them managed to sneak into my truck before I got home...

I'm such a sucker......Ben

Truckman, a 6 pack of K frames is an impressive haul. It's like hitting your daily bag limit!!!!! Well done

 

[rubiranch]

I had 4 at one time. Now I have just one.

I keep hearing six-packs are cheaper...I probably shouldn't do a math check on that...I may not like the results......Ben

My only K's have been my very first handgun - an exLEO worn 19 back in the 70's; and a mint Model 10 from a rummage sale a couple years later. Both long gone.

STOP! Make it go away.

I have one saving grace. I do not like J frames, so they do not get me. Non more L frames, and maybe 4 K frames. N frames get me bad though

 

[smithra_66]

K-frames and Colt D-frames seem to have very loud voices.

 

[Summersteel]

I've got good control of my desire for K frames…..
I just started buying N frames.

 

[RayRay7]

I thought the same thing yesterday…and then I decided to drop by the shop and start the DROS on the pre-17 so I can pick it after my trip.

I NEED a model 14 next.

Shotguns are my other itch that keeps on itching…along with leverguns…

Sure, Ben. But what will you put into the safe? Empty beer cans?

Other than the ones I pick up on the side of the road on my infrequent walks, I never see 'em...I quit drinking in 1977......Ben

Hard to beat the lines and handling characteristics of a K frame. Can't wait to receive my new 65-5 LS that I recently acquired in a trade with a friend and fellow forum member.

 

[GSP Fan]

My addiction is fairly recent but I've lost track of the K frames already and the N frames aren't far behind.

 

[hkcavalier]

Trying to focus more on the N frames, but still plenty of love for the non-magnum Ks. Would love a 48 though (technically a magnum K frame )

 

[Joe Kent]

K-frames have that effect on many of us! One can never have too many!
