[Z1911]

Greetings! This will be my first post on this forum. I've owned the revolver I've uploaded pictures of for over 25 years, but I'm embarassed to say after all that time, that I'm not sure if it's a K-22, a Mod 17, or what. I bought it from a friend, who had gotten the piece from his grandfather. There is a serial number on the yoke (81K0666), and a different number (89003) on the arm of the cylinder. Any help/clarification would be greatly appreciated!

 

[au2183]

It's a model 17-4. I can see the stamp in your pictures.

 

[fyimo]

The number (89003) is an assembly number that has no meaning once the gun leaves the factory. That number is used internally at the plant to keep the parts for a specific gun together and to track the gun while it's being assembled.

 

[Camster]

I'll add to that: Made in 1980.

 

[Messer]

Only have two - but I love them!

My 17-2

and my 63

Take care,
Bob S.

 

[piebiter]

Since I've seen some older K-22's posted...well its the only one I have. A 1936 First Model K22 Outdoorsman.

 

[1968hawkeye]

My Mdl 17 4 screw circa 1960. The targets are not original to the revolver. She came with numbered magnas, but I thought that the diamond targets looked cool.

Here is my 17-4 shooter

 

[glypnir]

Well, since we've got some of their newer brethren, and none of mine, I'll put in a couple of new ones too:

63-3 snubby.

And my 22A with the fluted 7" barrel is feeling excluded and thinks it's pretty too.

 

[SmithNut]

Here's a few:

M617 Non-Underlugged 4"

M17-6 4"

M617-1 SB 4"

M17-7 4"

M617-1 RB 4"

And there is this old one....

The long barreled versions have taken a back seat to the younger and shorter crowd lately.......

 

[Scotter260]

Smithnut, that is a collection that instills great envy without the last one pictured, add that one into the mix my envy meter is off the charts. 4"ers are just the cat's meow in my book.

I'll add my measly '53 K-22 Combat Masterpiece for the thread:


Thanks again for sharing your collection,
Scott

Scotter,
Thanks for the comments, and - by the way - there's nothing measly about that Combat Masterpiece. Fantastic revolver, wish it were mine...

Yours is the essence of what a classic .22 should be.

[Dusty42597]

You fellows have some really nice 22's. I have one that maybe you all can help with. I have a 48-4 that the barrel says ".22 Long Rifle CTG".

 

[CH47gunner]

My Model 63 no-dash w/ Target grips, S&W holster, & those "cute" little loaders.

Bruce

 

[Combat]

bdgreen, What's this shell box in this picture?
Does it have a story?
Neat Picture.

Thanx for asking. It is a Hamilton Zip set speed loader that was developed in the fifties for the K22. It's quite a novel approach to early speedloaders for target shooting in competition.

[29aholic]

That's cool bd. I had one of the boxes, but the "speedloader" was gone. Didnt know what it was until now. Alas, box is long gone.

 

[Bullseye Smith]

I have one or two:

 

[H Richard]

We don't want to forget the 22/32 Heavy Frames,

or the Single Shots,

Or a 17-6,

or a 17/4

Model 35 no dash (flat latch)

No dash number because it's a pre '61 Improved I frame. Probably the priciest of the bunch!
