Let's see those 22lr target guns

[swsig]

I've posted this before in other threads, but here ya go:

Harrington & Richardson "Expert" top-break circa 1938, inherited from Dad, who bought it new. It should have been called "Model 9999" because it has a 9" barrel, a 9 shot cylinder, an a 99 lb. DA trigger pull . Fortunately, the SA pull is very nice, at about 4 lbs.

CLASSIC 12 takes the cake so for in my book post #39 buy a long shot.

Open up the grips and lube the main spring shoe. I have a 999 it's hard on the da.

Does anyone own a heritage revolver in 22?

Let's start with three American classics:
S&W 41, The Victor and Colt Match Target


Entries from Germany are
S&S Trophy

Weihrauch Arminius HW9, a totally underrated ugly duckling:


Erma ESP85A


and Erma ESP85A Jägerschaftspistole


My favorite Korth


From Italy I only have the Beretta 71 currently, which is more of a plinker than serious target pistol



Belgian FN International Medalist 150. This gun is accurate, fun to shoot and virtually indestructible. My son will get one for Christmas this year.


France is represented with the DES-69, a very reliable and accurate pistol


From Switzerland the formidable Hammerli 208

211


and my long time favorite, the 212

Even the Colt Python is doing well as a rimfire target gun

Just a few of mine.

17-3

A fine shooter with the 3 T's

I don't have one of the Kimber by itself, but it's nice to see it gets used. Kimber rimfire slide on a TLEII frame.

1931 K-22 and 1975 34-1 in their natural environment.

1933 Colt OMT.

A High Standard Citation, easily the most accurate pistol I own and an absolute pleasure to shoot.

A Colt Officers Model Match, which is as fine a target revolver as any.

But the sleeper of the bunch, is the 1938 Iver Johnson Supershot. The adjustable sight is a bit fiddly and the trigger could be better, but it will print neat and tidy groups with ordinary standard velocity ammo

S&W Single shot 3rd Mod (for fun)

High Standard Victor with Falcon Machine custom barrel and red dot




617-6 with Red Dot

Don't have a lot of 22 handguns but this one, a 1932 H&R Model 199 Single Action is a tack driver. With Eley match loads it can put them all in darn near one hole at 15 yards. Just one of those guns, for me, that you kind of look at in amazement after shooting. Never fails to bring a smile.

Several views of a really well made revolver and one of my all time favorites

H Richard,
You forgot to ID your IZH35M ("The Clanker")

I had one a number of years ago. All in all not a bad gun. Typical Russian, not "finished" anywhere not needed, but accurate and dependable. (As long as you kept all or the screws tight. I found that Locktite was my friend.)
Somewhere I have instructions on how to fit the factory grip that came with it to your hand using a latex glove and lipstick.
(I see yours has already had this done.)

Pictured are my 2 High Standard old clunkers. The bottom 1 is a 104 series and the top 1 is a 103 series. Both are great shooters.

Wish I could put all mine up in big pictures on same post but all I can do is the thumbnails with my touchscreen devices. I will just have to settle on showing the 5 I picked out. Starting left to right a S&W K22 masterpiece, then a pre 18 or .22 combat masterpiece, then my Pre Woodsman King Supertarget (one of my favorites) then a pair together High Standard Sport king and Duramatic, and last is what I call my cowboy gun, a High Standard double nine. All great each in thier own way. I have a bunch more but will leave them to another 22 lr. thread. Enjoy and thanks for letting me share.

Here's one you don't see too often. A Beretta 89 Gold Standard 22LR. Shot well though removing the barrel to clean was a PAIN.

 

[daddio202]

I just had to post one more time in this thread to show the gun I won in auction today. Just screenshots of gun pictures. I have a feeling that this very dirty gun in its box is going to clean up nicely once I get it home. A 1956 Colt match target 3rd series and the last picture shows the early round rear sight blade a fairly scarce feature used only for a year or 2 then they went to a squared off rear sight blade.
