Model 22 (45 ACP)

[StrawHat]

I got a 22-4 barrel from the factory to put on a Brazilian from the first shipment. With heavy loads i did get some bullet creep. Later tried the same load in my 628-8 and no creep. That demonstrates the big difference in the weight of the two. I also changed the front sight on the 22-4 barrel, very easy to do and made it much easier to get a good sight picture.

Would like to see pictures.

Here is my problem child.

As long as I don't shoot stuff with hard primers, it does all right. It is soon going to my gunsmith for a longer firing pin.

I have yet to shoot my problem child since its' visit to the gunsmith but I plan to do it very soon weather permitting.

I have posted this before--my homage to the 1917 used in The Raiders of the Lost Ark...

Picked up this Thunder Ranch M22 a few years ago. I did plug the lock and added the SDM front sight. The Altamont Ropers are new. Trying them out to see how they do vs the magna and t-grip I have used until now.

Wonderful shooting companion for my Brazilian 1937 and Colt 1917.

Preferred carry leather

A Model 22-4 is always good! Hope the Ropers work out for you.

After a trip to the gunsmith in Stillwater, the function has greatly improved. 48 rounds of the WWB stuff went through with no issues.

SPDguns is a member here and he does good work.

Here’s my Thunder Ranch in stags. It had to go back to Smith to have the bbl turned a bit. Shoots ok now.
